I’ll be starting this one soon. I saw it at the library and the cover made me pick it up. It is also a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin!
From A Curse Dark As Gold by Elizabeth C Bunce:
“You? But I was expecting children – you know, little girls in pinafores
and pudding caps?” He laughed. “Here, let’s start over, shall we?
Randall Woodstone, at your service. Miss Miller, if you could tell me
where I might find whoever’s responsible for the mill’s affairs now.”
Grab a book and join the fun.
This sounds like it has potential! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

No problem. Thanks for visiting!
That’s a great cover. I can see why it made you stop and take a look at the book. I like the dialogue in the 56 excerpt. It sounds real, and the speaker sounds like a nice guy.

A Fairy Tale retelling? I love those, I’ll have to add this one to my TBR. Happy reading.
That was exactly my reaction.
