This is a fairy tale themed anthology. There are seventeen stories in 216 pages - so they're short. In fact, they are VERY short, especially when you have to have at least one major sex scene in the story to qualify it as 'erotic'. I felt that the authors had to squeeze the characterization, plot and setting around the edges of the sex scene.

Actually, I didn't find most of them erotic. Too much 'insert tab A into slot B' and not enough about who and why.

Some of the 'twists' were interesting. I liked the retelling of the 12 Dancing Princesses as if it was a reality TV plot crossed with the Truman Show. Some of the stories were just strange [I thought Gretel needed her meds adjusted] or maybe I just didn't get them.

Overall I simply can't recommend this one. Too much stress on the erotic and not enough emphasis on the fairytale. I think it would have been a better book with fewer stories, allowing the authors room to bring their visions to life.
