This was a poorly done retelling that offered up nothing new. Characters were often meant to subvert common fairy tale tropes but they lacked the depth and development needed to actually say something meaningful. The plot is practically non-existent. For much of the book nothing happens but hangi...
Sarah Cross’s Kill Me Softly tells the story of Mirabelle, a young girl drawn back to the town where her parents died. When she arrives, she finds two brothers, a town full of secrets, and a dark past. This was a book that I enjoyed a lot while I was reading it. Then I finished and sat there for awh...
When I first picked up Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross, I have to admit that I wasn’t expecting much. Yes, the blurb piqued my interest, and of course, the cover was pretty—but with the growing number of novels cropping up in the YA department, it’s hard to separate the novels that you think you might...

Mirabelle is tired of her 'secret childhood,' she wants to return to the place where her parents died, the place of her birth, the place her godmothers have forbidden her from going. A week before the sixteenth birthday she runs away to Beau Rivage, where people are not what they seem and living a f...
Glamorous and damaged, the fairy tale teenagers of KILL ME SOFTLY love and suffer within the boundaries of their destinies. The offspring of forbidden fairy/human crosses, their lives are raw with magic that humanity was never meant to bear. A cross between Pinnochio's island of lost boys and Grimm...
