These are fun and frothy, but just the best at looking at different sides of fairy tales! http://www.sonderbooks.com/Fiction/fairygodmother.html Here’s my review of the first one, with links to some of the later ones.

For KILL ME SOFTLY, one of the big "spoilers" is the fairy tale that Blue & Felix are part of -- which I spotted right away but I imagine some readers may not. It made this edgy -- I wouldn't call it MG at all. Let me know what you think! I’ll look for Lackey’s work!

(Now, a lot of them are teen characters deciding who they'll marry but are called middle grade when they aren't "edgy.") Next time you're reading adult fiction, try Mercedes Lackey's Five Hundred Kingdoms series -- it plays off "The Tradition" and the magic uses "traditional paths" from fairy tales. I love that same thing -- the different fairy tale threads woven in. The first book is The Fairy Godmother.
