Publisher's summary

The first three interconnected stand-alone fairy tale retellings from the Four Kingdoms series

Book 1 - The Princess Companion: A Retelling of The Princess and the Pea: This retelling of the classic fairy tale The Princess and the Pea reimagines the risks and rewards that come when one royal family goes searching for a true princess.

Book 2 - The Princess Fugitive: A Reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood: In this reimagining of the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, the girl in the red hood has been swallowed up by the wolf and must decide if she's willing to fight for her freedom, no matter the cost.

Novella 2.5 - Happily Ever Afters: A Reimagining of Snow White and Rose Red: Sarah and Evelyn have already risked everything to help Ava win a crown. But they soon learn that a coronation is a beginning, not an ending. Not everyone in Rangmere is happy to see the young queen on the throne, and intrigue and danger lurk all around.

The cousins find themselves fighting not only for their new kingdom but also for their own survival in the royal court. When a new threat emerges, the two girls must defeat it to both save the crown and secure their own happily-ever-afters.

Loved it!

All the fun of romance and mystery and I loved that it was a sort of re-telling of some classic stories. It didn’t make it too predictable too. I loved that it was clean, I would totally let a pre-teen read these. No smut! I will definitely be looking up more Melanie Cellier books now! I loved the first book and the third. The middle book was good too but not my favorite I had a hard time liking the main character. Still, all in all, a great read!

How Lovely and exciting

I was So sad when the books stopped! What a joy to listen to romantic, exciting, thrilling stories.
I’d never heard these versions before and oh how they have made my heart sing. I wish I could listen to such books forever and ever 💖

Love this series

This is such a fun series. I love the story telling/writing of Melanie Cellier. It's so refreshing to have a story teller who doesn't need to write sex scenes into a story. These stories are immensely creative and fun, Esther Wane does a fantastic job narrating these books.

If you love entertaining, enchanting clean HEA stories I highly recommend this series, you wont be disappointed :)

fairy tale

fairy tale ..
I absolutely enjoyed the "redemption arc" and how it added depth and ability to change perspective and relationships in the stories.... I also enjoy the ability the author uses to weave the many fairytale together...
the narration is enjoyable to listen to.

Great twist!

Didn’t think I wanted to go through another retelling of the same stories. However, pleasantly surprised with the story’s plot. I look forward to the other stories from this author.

very enjoyable stories

love audio books that entertain without having to take more focus to follow the storyline. I tend to listen when cleaning or exercising so these were perfect & I really enjoyed the alternative spin on such well known stories.

A fun fairy tale rewrite

I enjoyed these stories. They were fun twists on classic fairytales with clean romances.

The mini book at the end had a lot less to do with its fairytale than the rest (I can’t really see how it relates at all to snow white and rose red), but they were all enjoyable.

I like the narrator for the first two stories, but when the high-pitched and squeaky voice she used for Sarah became the voice of a main character in the mini book it was hard to listen to. Other than that, and the way that she made the men in the first book sound old and stuffy, she did a good job

Good story, but not favorite narration

I liked that the stories were unpredictable and intertwined. I had a hard time with the narration because (1) the male voices made the characters sound grumbly and scratchy; (2) the narrator’s mouth kept going dry, I am sensitive to sounds and kept getting grossed out
