A collection of stories about the reporters, Royal Hounds and royalty at Castle Charming: Glass Slipper Scandal; Dance, Princes, Dance; Let Sleeping Princes Lie and Dead Queen Walking. This is very entertaining, and a somewhat different take on fairytales. Some of the character dynamics felt similar to those in Roberts’ Unreal Alchemy although I didn’t feel quite as attached to these characters. I’ll read the sequel.

Everyone knew that the royal family was a goddamed tragedy -- what with the king in a haze of endless melancholy, the queen still buried in an enchanted sleep, and the princess hidden from public view since childhood with a mystery illness. It was down to those two beautiful, broken princes to stand as the public face of Castle Charming.
Dennis knew when he signed up for this that keeping those reckless boys alive and in one piece was a hell of a job. (

I feel like this book was written for me. I love fairy tales. Adore them. Castle Charming is set in a fairy tale kingdom with a very active press corps. The royal family's headlines are taken over with the antics of the two playboy twin princes, but there's also the sleeping queen and missing prince in the family history. Kai moves to Charming to be a reporter for the local tabloid, and ends up being the story.

The world building is fantastic. I fell in love with the characters, in all their messed-up and messy glory. And I loved how Tansy neatly wraps everything up in a giant HEA bow at the end. Glorious. (
