Product Description

Product Description

Think you know your fairytales? Think again. These aren’t your normal happily-ever-after. Within these pages, a murderous Little Mermaid gets her revenge, the Cinderella doesn’t really want to wear the slipper, Snow White is up to her eyes in industrial experiments, and the Beauty is in fact the Beast.
This collection of four novellas will surprise you, make you gasp in horror, sigh with relief, and sit on the edge of your seat. And most of all…they will make you rethink everything you think you know about dark fairytales…


Song of the Abyss-Lindsay Avalon

Princess Nerissa had envisioned a perfect wedding to a handsome prince. Instead, she fell into a nightmare. When her new husband tries to murder her just hours after pledging his life to her, she must flee towards the sea. Caught in transition from woman to selkie, she is trapped by the dark waters she hoped would be her salvation. Now her destiny becomes that of luring young men to their death…until one comes along that reignites the spark of love inside her. However to ensure her future, she must first face her past. Revenge must be taken…for both her life, and the life of the young man she now loves.

Miss Cavendish and the Spark of Salvation-Tara Stogner Wood

In a city toiling under the iron fist of the Spiegel Syndicate and its monopoly on coal, Miss Georgina "George" Cavendish is on the brink of a breakthrough that could change the world forever. There's just one thing standing in her way, her aunt - Xenobia Cavendish. Threatened by her efforts, the Syndicate procures the services of a notorious assassin with a past tied to her own, known as The Huntsman, to dispatch the brilliant scientist. But once he gets a glimpse of the headstrong beauty, will he be able to do the job, or will Georgina sway him to The Cause? And will George find the breakthrough she needs in time, or is New London Town doomed to forever lie under the dark shadow of her aunt's factories?

Hawke and the Beast-Trish Marie Dawson

Some curses last forever, and some can be broken with the whisper of three little words. Isabella Rose Woodward fell in love with a witch's son over a century ago. Her punishment for breaking the young man's heart was a beastly one. Every month she turns into a different creature, aging on the full moon when her curse allows for a brief return to her human form. Her only salvation is to find a man that will love her as she is…be it adorned in feathers, fur or scales. Has she found this love with the handsome Jasper Hawke? Or will a mysteriously determined Hunter find her first, and snuff out the life she so desperately seeks? A life of normalcy, where she loves and is loved in return… just as she is.

Reborn City-Miranda Stork

Nyx has one mission in life; bring down the brainwashing of New Omsk’s citizens, and release them from their mundane lives of toil. The year is 2355, and the world is a new place. A Governor is in charge of every city in the world, and humanity is attempting to rebuild itself after recovering from a war that nearly killed it. But this Governor has set his eyes on the intrepid little hacker, Nyx, and he will stop at nothing to get her. But perhaps he needs her more than he ever dreamed he would…as do his citizens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new take on old tales! 14 Nov 2012
By Rachel O. - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I love fairy tales and I love what these authors have done with them. I started reading this anthology based on a friend's recommendation. I truly enjoyed it. It was wonderful to read such strong female characters in these stories. There were no wilting wallflowers here and it was refreshing to see women take a dynamic role in a fairy tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fairy Tales Gone Awry! 15 Jan 2013
By Sally A. Peckham - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is an anthology of fairy tales with a twist that you will never believe! So, take a seat & prepare to be entertained!

Song of the Abyss by Lindsay Avalon: This is a tale of two brothers, Prince Lyulf and his twin Himesh. With hatred in his heart, one tries to kill the Princess on their wedding day, after having his brother thrown in the dungeon to rot. Thinking
that her love has tried to kill her, she barely esacpes with her life. After a year of suffering, the brother escapes from the dungeons to exact his revenge. Will true love bring him and his Princess back together? Can they overcome the odds and regain what is rightfully theirs? Can the evil twin be stopped? You have to read this story to get in on the all the adventure this wonderful author has in store for you!

Miss Cavendish and The Spark Of Salvation by Tara Stogner Wood: A young lady is marked for a hit by her greedy aunt. She also wants the machine the young lasy is working on. It will produce clean fuel and limit demand for coal and primary use of steam power. The Syndicate would lose it's power & the workers would be free. The would be assasin has his own agenda. Unfortunately, that didn't include falling in love with the beautiful "George" (Georgina). Not knowing who to trust, danger lurking around every corner, can they survive long enough to see if they are a match? Will the machine remain in the right hands? There are twists & turns on every page to keep you guessing to the very end.

Hawk and the Beast by Trish Marie Dawson: There once was a guy who lived in the woods. He was use to seeing strange things, but he wasn't prepared for upcoming events on tonight's full moon. An injured animal that gets out of his cabin, a naked woman in the woods, appearing out of nowhere, a wolf that doesn't want to attack him & later saves his life. What is going on? Isabella has been cursed for hundreds of years. Every day & night, she roams the world as a creature of feather, fur or scales. The only time she is free of the curse, free to be herself, is on the night of a full moon. This man, Jasper, saves her, again & again. She knows it will only end in heartache, as she will soon turn back into another creature. Can he love her, truly love her? If so, maybe this will be the one chance for both of them to finally be happy.

Reborn City by Miranda Stork: This tale is about a place after the apocalypse. It's run by "The Governor". The citizens are brainwashed so they don't have to worry about laws & jails. There are groups outside the walls that don't agree with this method and would like nothing better than to see the whole system brought down. Nyx, a runner and computer hacker, is on a misson to do just that. Unfortunately, she is spotted and is trailed back to her camp by Zhelat-X, a robot with an attitude. She takes Nyx back to the city to meet with The Governor, Leonid. Against all odds and reason, they fall in love. What happens next will leave you breathless with anticipation.

Happy reading! :)
