Of Candy and Betrayal by J.L Jackola is book one in the Wicked and Twisted Tales Series. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but wow, did I dig this book. When I read that it was a dark and spicy retelling of Hansel and Gretel, I was all in. This book was really well done and I really liked how the author created this world. I do recommend checking your trigger warnings to be on the safe side. This book took me about a day to finish, it grabbed my attention and kept going all the way until the end. This book took my emotions on a whirlwind of a ride. I went from disliking Hunter to liking him back and forth. I did like reading the side of him that only Gemma was able to bring out of him. I’m a fan of retellings and this is up there on my list. Really good book!

Final review:

4 out of 5 stars
