Hello Readers and Hoppy Easter!
I hope everyone is having a delightful Holiday and that the Easter Bunny brought you a basket full of books! I’m back with another Book Tour put on by the fantastic Erik over at Breakeven Books on YouTube / Instagram! This time around we have a dark and gritty fairytale-esque book! If you were a fan of the show Grimm (a modern take on the Grimm Brothers Fairytales) Fablenoir is going to be RIGHT up your alley! Without further ado, let’s get into it!
Fablenoir takes place in New York City where you could meet a necromancer in a dark alleyway and children cry (were)wolf! Jackson (Jack) Slade works for the NYPD and has hit rockbottom. Addicted to magic beans and alcohol, he spends his nights in dive bars trying to forget. Jack’s life is flipped upside down when he discovers the body of media mogul, Dick Dumpty, outside of a hotel. This discovery kicks off a chain of events that flips Jack into the dark, speedy underbelly of the magical world. Jack forms a reluctant partnership with Goldilocks and go head to head with the criminal mastermind, Papa Bear! As they search for answers, one thing because clear, they’re going to change the world… for better or worse!
While this premise might come off as slightly silly, I LOVED this book and couldn’t help butt draw similarities between this concept and Grimm (which is such a great show, I highly encourage you to give that a watch if you haven’t already). The premise is fun and unexpected! It’s a unique twist on classic tales! This is also part of a series, both are available on Kindle Unlimited!

Until We Meet Again,
