Dangerous promises and beguiling threats swirl together in a dozen stories of enchantments dark and light by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr. Uncanny and unexpected creatures appear from behind bushes, rise from beneath the seas, or manifest from seasonal storms to pursue the objects of their attention—with amorous or sinister intent—relentlessly.
From the gentle tones of a storyteller's cadences to the terror of a blood sacrifice, tales of favorite characters from Marr's Wicked Lovely novels mix with accounts of new characters for readers to fall in love with...or to fear.
Lush, seductive, and chilling, Melissa Marr's stories revel in the unseen magic that infuses the world as we know it.
My first review of Faery Tales & Nightmares
My Review:
Oh, I loved reading this collection of stories again! I loved reading it the first time, and if you've read any of my reviews, I think you'll know what I'm about to say. It's been so long since I first read it, that it was like reading it for the first time! And it was just so wonderful!
I did read the two stories with Irial, Niall and Leslie in them when I was reading the main series, from my copy of this book, so I skipped over them this time. But there was plenty of other stories in here to read, and oh, I read them!
The non-Wicked Lovely stories were really great, though that opener was really short, and I wish we could've had just a little bit more from it. The vampire one, oh man, that was a really dark story. And Flesh for Comfort, that was terrifying!
The Wicked Lovely stories-including the one that was original inspiration for the stories, were really great. To see Rabbit start to find happiness after the loss of his sister. To see Seth and Niall work out the emotions after what they did to each other. To see Keenan and Donia have a vacation while he's mortal, and dealing with those fears. They were all fantastic stories, and I can't wait to read more!
Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Melissa Marr!
