Kathryn Purdie takes readers back into the dark Forest Grimm in “The Deathly Grimm,” the sequel to “The Forest Grimm.”
Filled with more eerie retellings of the Brothers Grimm’s fairytales, the stakes are somehow higher for the main characters as they realize that it’s time to break the curse on the Forest Grimm and Grimm Hollow once and for all. Along the way, Clara must learn how to wield her powers and distinguish what is real and what isn’t. But that is easier said than done in the Forest Grimm…
“The Deathly Grimm” is an excellent follow up to “The Forest Grimm” and serves as a great conclusion to the duology. Purdie cleverly twisted several more classic Grimm fairytales to suit the needs for her plot. She also filled the story with twists and turns to leave a reader guessing what will happen next. Some twists are definitely a little predictable, but that doesn’t make them any less fun.
If you’ve ever watched “Once Upon a Time” and wished it was just a little darker (and have a less confusing family tree), then “The Forest Grimm” duology is definitely a series you should check out!
I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
