The Grimm Chronicles
200 years ago, the Brothers Grimm unleashed their stories upon the world. Literally. Now the characters of the Grimms’ stories walk among us. With every day that passes, they grow more evil. They are the Corrupted, and only a hero can stop them.
For 18-year-old Alice Goodenough, that means taking precious time off from her summer vacation. In addition to volunteering at the local library, Alice must stop the Corrupted who are now actively hunting her down. With the help of her magic pen and her trusty rabbit friend, the world has suddenly gotten a lot more complex. The Corrupted are everywhere, and only Alice can see them for what they truly are.

Hello Monica,
Did you like the book? Please provide insight on your appreciation of the Grimm Chronicles.
I love your blog! It’s giving me ideas for things to read I never would have thought of!
Thank you!
Thank you. I am happy to share book recommendations to everyone who loves reading.
That looks like a terrific book, thank you for sharing it.
You are most welcome. I hope you will have fun reading it.
You have a really nice way with reviewing and promoting a title that doesn’t make it sound like plain old advertising. That’s very hard to do, but you’ve done it. Good job! I’m a sucker for anything Grimm-related….
Oh your comment is so flattering. Thank you. I hope this will inspire us to read more Grimm stories
I’m wondering what you think of NBC’s series “Grimm” — have you seen it? Set in the U.S., in the Pacific Northwest, it follows a cop who discovers his family heritage: He’s a “Grimm,” and has the power to detect fairy tale creatures/monsters. He also has a camper full of cool medieval weapons that he uses to fight them.
Wow. I live in the Philippines and haven’t heard about this series until now. It sounds very interesting based on how you describe it. Is it still airing? I have to try watching a few episodes!
