FROM BACK COVER: In eighteenth-century Cornwall, life as a Grimm sister could beâ¦well, grim. With six siblings all obsessed by fairy tales, it was hardly possible for a girl of delicate sensibilities to meet a prince, no matter how many frogs her brothers put in her bed.

But when an aunt invited the self-proclaimed beauty Rae, and Greta, her literary-minded sister, to the Black Forest, things started to shape up. Rae met a widowed baron and his children who made Schortz work of all her marital misgivings, and Greta fell forâ¦a less-than-charming prince.

Still, even with all the paranormal oddities cropping up, life in this forest was better than being two Corny hens, and the hairier their situations got, the clearer it was to both sisters that, like Little Red Riding Hood, they'd stumbled onto a couple of wolvesâ¦and would love every minute of it.

**TITLE CHANGED TO 'THE DAUGHTERS GRIMM'. The book was enjoyable, but dragged a bit. I also started to get REALLY annoyed with one of the heroines. The ending was cute, but as a whole, I enjoyed her previous books more.**
