About this ebook

The clock is ticking for Marie to break free from her prophecy.

Ever since coming to Grimm Academy, Marie has been waiting for her prophecy to start coming true, and now the Yuletide celebrations are here, she thinks the time might be upon her.

With a new friend obsessed with searching out the nut that can avoid her curse, and the new potential courtship that could promise to be more than just a few dances at a ball, Marie has more than ever to fight for, and that's precisely what she intends to do.

But when the shadow mice come out to play, she knows she has no other option than to face her prophecy head-on, or risk losing to it completely.

Slippers and Sugarplums is part of the Grimm Academy fantasy fairy tale romance series and is a standalone retelling of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. It includes a fairy tale heroine determined to save herself and a sweet m/f romance.

If you enjoy fairy tale retellings, fantasy academy settings, friendship, prophecies, strong heroines, and sweet romance, start the Grimm Academy series!

Marie’s story and a Nutcracker retellings. I think we’ve all seen this ballet performed at one time or another in our lives. It’s such an iconic part of the holiday season. I’ve never read the original so no preconceived notions going into this readings. I’ll say it’s a beautiful tale woven on the stage and a wonderful story retold in this series. Marie is such a sweetheart I’m so happy that in going through such a hardship of her prophecy she would up finding her hea. I am sad to see that this

What lurks in the shadows? Marie and Noah have reason to beware of shadow mice due to their prophecies. Can they combine forces to free themselves and find happiness together or will they disappear into the shadows forever? This is an updated retelling of the Nutcracker with romance, danger, and twists. It's short, sweet, and enjoyable. I received a free copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

Wow, this story is filled with finding love with a prince, having a prophecy & trying to find out if it can be finalised for good. I'm so glad that I was able to read this series because it's a very interesting one......
