Synopsis

If Nor can’t spin gold, she can always spin lies.When seventeen-year-old Nor rescues a captured faerie in the woods, he gifts her with a magical golden thread she can use to summon him for a favor. Instead, Nor uses it for a con—to convince villagers to buy straw that can be transformed into gold. Her trick works a little too well, attracting the suspicion of Prince Casper, who hates nobody more than a liar. Intent on punishing Nor, he demands that she spin a room of straw into gold and as her reward, he will marry her. Should she refuse or fail, the consequences will be dire. Desperate for help, Nor summons the faerie’s aid, launching a complicated dance as she must navigate between her growing feelings for both the prince and faerie boy and who she herself wishes to become.

*Thank you so much to the author Brandie June for sending me a copy of this for review!* Listen, I can absolutely not at all remember the original story of Rumpelstiltskin so bear in mind that I’m literally just writing this about the book as it stands on its own - though I’m pretty sure it took a fe......more

SO let me start by saying this is a pretty good read. It's a nice time. Now let me get a little picky... *I received a free version of this book for my unbiased review. The first thing I noticed was that she uses Faerie and Fay instead of Faerie and Fae. This just aggravated me to no end. Every singl......more

Reinventing the beloved classic Rumpelstiltskin by the Brothers Grimm, June offers fantasy readers an escape into a pre-nineteenth century world where faeries, kingdoms, mean girls, and budding love abound.
