Lords of Grimm #1
Cunning as a Trickster
Love is a weapon. . .
Evangeline is used to being sought after. As a star, her power is a deeply coveted prize, but when she finds herself in yet another dungeon, she’s starting to wonder if she’s destined to a life of imprisonment. She only wants to be free, but the worlds are desperate to keep her from living a life unburdened.
The Grimm Forest is an entirely new beast for Eva, but none of that compares to the glorious trickster dropped in the cell beside hers. Rumpelstiltskin is a selfish monster, but beneath his illusions and deals, Eva sees a creature worthy of love. Still, there are at least a hundred reasons to ignore the feelings.
Things are turning upside down in Grimm and Eva isn’t sure what she can do to help. Locked away in the dungeons, she should be worried about fighting for her own freedom, not about how her heart aches when Rumple looks at her. The worlds are unstable. The darkness is rising. Will Evangaline’s glow be enough to keep her in the light? Or will she lose the very core of who she is to the trickster who dares to call her by name?

About the author
Kendra Moreno
74 books791 followersKendra Moreno is secretly a spy but when she’s not dealing in secrets and espionage, you can find her writing her latest adventure. She lives in Texas where the summer days will make you melt, and southern charm comes free with every meal. She’s a recovering Road Rager (kind of) and slowly overcoming her Star Wars addiction (nope!), and she definitely didn’t pass on her addiction to her son (she did). She has one hellhound named Mayhem who got tired of guarding the Gates of Hell and now guards her home against monsters. She’s a geek, a mother, a scuba diver, a tyrannosaurus rex, and a wordsmith who sometimes switches out her pen for a sword.
If you see Kendra on the streets, don’t worry: you can distract her with talks about Kylo Ren or Loki.

AMAZING
Omg I cried and almost lost my faith in Kendra. But she didn't let me down.
The start of this series is dare I say it better than the rest, Kendra keeps on growing in her writing and this book let's you see that. Rumpel is broken and Evangeline is not the one to heal him but to accept hem and he must dare to take chances to keep her but will he succeed? The real villain of this story is not one you suspect but that's nothing new, you never see the bad guys coming with Kendra.
So again a 11 out of 5 stars 🌟 for Cunning As A Trickster, pre order now so you'll have it first thing! (Read the whole series starting with Mad As A Hatter for the FULL experience of this masterpiece)

I loved this book!!! I felt like I was watching a movie, or an episode of OUAT and couldn't put the book down. The way that Ms. Moreno develops the stories and characters, develops the worlds and story lines..... man, I am beyond drawn in. I can close my eyes and imagine myself there, in their worlds.
While we have already met Rumplestiltskin, we really get to see so many different sides of him. He charmed his was into my heart.
Eva is a beautiful soul. I wanted to find a way to protect her. My heart broke for her past experiences, but loved the way that she was still able to remain positive and true to herself.
The love story part was beautiful and heartbreaking. Yep, I cried.
Then, enter the bad guy - yes, not Rumple this time. Just when I thought it would be 1, bam.....the 2nd one makes her entance. And what an entrance.
I really love how Ms. Moreno intertwines and weaves all of the stories together while still making them their own story.
I can't wait to hear what happens next.

Absolutely loved this story!!! I was waiting for Rumples story and I finally got it. So so good. I always just love how all the characters from the other book series play a part. Kendra Moreno has built this huge world and loving it!!! Hooked isn’t even the right work. Obsessed sounds better. I am so looking forward to the next book. Especially with that ending. I highly recommend reading. But definitely start with the Wonderland series first. Since all the stories interconnect.
Again amazing book. Cannot wait to read more. Loved it!!!

I love the worlds that Kendra has built with this series and have devoured each of the books. This one however, is the first I gave 4 stars to and it’s because of the ending. Eva ends up becoming a star again and Rumple is off on an adventure to save her, but this isn’t accomplished within this book. I’m sure he will find her in a future book but I would have preferred them to have found each other again in this book.

How? what? why? I don't even know where to start!! First of all: This book is amazing! I have always liked Rumple but in this story he really stole my heart! My favorite book in all the series so far!! To see the trickster fall in love and feel and learn to trust is awesome and who does he fall in love with? Well, you need to read the book to find out.

Too many characters across too many existing worlds tied together by a very thin rope.

Very Intriguing
From the last series I wasn't sure how invested I'd be in this couple but Rumple grew on me. I was rooting for him by the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this start to an all new adventure with beloved characters as well as new ones!
