Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event originally created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we are all eagerly anticipating. Jill has been MIA since August of 2016. Despite this, the meme lives on….Hope you come back Jill! Until then I will be joining Tressa at Wishful Endings and her meme Can’t-Wait Wednesday.
Happy Wednesday y’all! This week I’m eagerly waiting on The Deathly Grimm by Kathryn Purdie. This will be the conclusion to the duology. When I read The Forest Grimm last year, I originally thought it was a standalone until I reached the end. That cliffhanger 🤯 I really enjoyed the first book’s integration of classic Grimm’s fairytales with the author’s story. I cannot wait to continue Clara and Axel’s story!

In this spellbinding sequel to Kathryn Purdie's bestselling dark fairy tale, Clara and Axel must return to the forest—and its monsters—if they have any hope of finally breaking the curse on their village.
Emerging from the shadows of the Forest Grimm, Clara and Axel return to their village, the one place they can be safe behind the forest's border. But when the woods begin luring villagers into the forest, it becomes clear that the darkness they battled was merely a whisper of the true horror lurking there.
Burdened by unsettling visions and bound by a love as perilous as the cursed woods that call to them, Clara and Axel must once again enter the forest to unearth the sinister secret at its heart. As they fight murderous woodsmen wielding riddles sharp as blades, spectral maidens who threaten to drag them into an eternal dance, and phantoms able to use the very essence of the forest against them, Clara and Axel realize the stakes are higher than ever. If they can’t break the curse once and for all, they may not have a home to return to…

Your Turn! What are you waiting on this Wednesday? Share below
I haven’t started this series yet, but I’ve been curious about it and have heard good things! I hope you love this one!
I’m very fond of fantasy tales that incorporate classic fairy tales… I’ve made a note of the author and thank you very much for sharing:)).
The first book was so good. Full of Grimm’s Fairytales, but she added her own spin AND kept the original dark tones of the stories. I’m excited to read the sequel.
OOh nice! I was soooo eager to read The Forest Grimm last year but then I caught wind that it was a duology and decided I needed to wait! Glad I did! Lol. I can’t wait to binge this next year!
