REVIEWED BY J.M. NORTHUPWow – An Enchanting Modern Fairy Tale
This was a profound story. A modern fairy tale that made me laugh, filled me with sadness, and was thought-provoking. The imagery was as powerful as the connection between the characters.
There was a darkness and a hope to the story. A joy and sorrow. The contradictions and conflicts can represent so much in life… As can the road, the perception of safety, and the hardships we face.
Do read this short story. It’s haunting.

REVIEWED BY J.M. NORTHUPIntense Modern Fairy Tale
True to traditional fairy tales, there’s a grim darkness to this story as well as a lesson of caution. However, it’s a relevant and modern spin on Hansel & Gretel. In addition, it offers twists and turns that are as thrilling as they are brilliant.
The flow of the story added to the build-up. Choices the author made in delivery enhanced the reading experience for me. It was a delightful short read.
I loved Gray and Hazel. There were moments I questioned their actions or motives, but they were well written characters. It was easy to connect with them.
Definitely grab this title. It does not disappoint. It’s intense, emotional, and deep.
