Publisher's summary

Once in a while love gives us a fairy tale....

Tormented by a pack of bloodthirsty wolves, Hans and his sister Gretel, run for their lives.

Desperation leads them into the comforting arms of a beautiful woman who asks for nothing in return for her kindness. While Gretel finds herself drawn to the seductress, Hans grows suspicious of her motives. Torn between a brother she adores and a woman she can’t help but admire, Gretel is forced to make a choice.

Will sibling bonds override the lure of a newfound love?

Find out in this exciting adult fairy tale full of action, adventure, and romance.

Gretel: A Fairytale Retold is a thrilling adaptation of a classic fairytale for fans of Angela Carter's Bloody Chamber and Malinda Lo's modern classic, Ash. It is a six-chapter short story of just over 12,400 words and contains some explicit passages.

Great story

I have no complaints. The relationship between characters was strong. My girlfriend and I enjoyed listening together.

Best short story in a long time

Usually with short stores it hard for me to get hooked on the characters. Things develop unrealistic fast. Not with this book. it was remarkably well paced and I felt like the connection made sense. This was supposed to be a quick listen while I baked a cake and now I'm looking for a full length sequel. Awesome read.

Fairytale

This is a great twist to an old story. The evil villain isn’t the one you think it it.
