When Grimm sisters Greta and the beautiful, but extremely vain Rae, fail to find husbands in eighteenth-century Cornwall, Greta writes to her aunt in Prussia for help. Aunt Vivian delights in being able to be the one who finds suitable husbands for the girls and sends for them so that she can debut them in Prussian society. But Vivian isn’t doing it to help the girls; she’s merely doing it to irritate her sister by proving that the girls can easily find husbands with the right guidance.

In the middle of searching for the perfect husband Greta is drawn to the Black Forest to search out answers to all the paranormal oddities happening lately. There she hopes to find proof that vampires, witches, werewolves and other creatures of the night really do exist. When Rae meets a widowed Baron and Greta meets a handsome Prince you have to wonder if it’ll be happily ever after or did the girls get themselves into a hairy situation?

I thought the book was cute and I loved all the pop culture references mixed with historical characters. The plot seemed to drag on just a little too much but I like how the story ended. I would recommend this book to paranormal romance readers like fans of MaryJanice Davidson’s Queen Betsy series. ( )

Hmmm, how to describe "The Dughters Grimm"? I'm STILL laughing my a** off! Can I just say that Minda Webber apparently never met a fairy tale, spoonerism, sexual double entendre, or adage that she didn't like! They're ALL here, interlaced in a wacky romance about two sisters in the late 1700s looking for husbands (and creatures from lore). DON'T expect this book to be historically accurate. DON'T expect this book to have even one full chapter of seriousness. And DON'T expect not to enjoy the hilarious, crazy, and mixed-up antics of these two Daughters Grimm.

Rae is the beauty...and she sure knows it. For half of the book, she's not very likeable. But she is the poster child for blonde jokes everywhere! And her hero? Well, she doesn't get exactly what she thought she wanted, but she does get exactly what she needed to be happy.

Greta is the smart one. She's also the one who's dedicated to discovering the realities of things that go bump in the night. She's much more interested in her invesitgations than in finding a husband. So it's a good thing her future husband is happy to hunt for her!

Is this book silly? Yes. Is this book entertaining? Absolutely. Will you laugh? Without a doubt. This author's linguistic gymnastics will amuse and amaze you. Any author who can use all the language tricks and ancient tales while still turning out a very readable plot is a genius in my book. I LOVED it! ( )
