Second Hand Curses by Drew Hayes

I just need to set aside a period of time and listen to all of Drew Hayes's stuff.

I love the humor and the story telling!

I apparently have fallen deeply into the genre of reworking classics, I have at least three more lined up.

So, this one is set in the world of fairytales, and it sort of reminds me of the Shrek universe as magic is common place, and you are more likely to find a fairy who will happily enslave your grandmother before she'll give you something for free.

In this world, you may go to The Bastard Champions to help you. Which they will do, for a price.

They are:

Jack - who I picture as Flynn Rider

Marie- who I picture as Drew Barrymore in Ever After

And Frank- Who I think of as the pale guy from the Da Vinci Code, only with a weird eye and less creepy.

This motley crew all have their own back stories and they are all so well thought out! Fun, funny and thoughtful without being cheesy.

We get the histories of the Champions between jobs, all of which play on one tale or another. A couple include Cinderella and The Princess an the Frog.

One of my favorite things about this book was figuring out just what fairytale character each Bastard Champion was going to end up being. There are so many Jacks.

Is he Jack Be Nimble? Is he Jill's Jack? Is he Jack Frost? Jack Horner? Stingy Jack? All of the above? None?

Marie, no obvious character that could think of off the bat...

Frank? Frank is weird...

It was fun to guess until enough clues and snippets of back story fill in the blanks

I adored the voice work on this one, it was preformed by a full cast, which I usually find slightly distracting. This one flowed really well.

This book was so much fun and it has the potential to be an awesome series, but I don't know if that is in the works.

Drew Hayes is developing a pattern here, this one, Five Minute Sherlock, stories started, just begging to be continued!

The Case of the Damaged Detective, Second Hand Curses, and The Utterly Uninteresting & Unadventurous Tales of Fred. Vampire Accountant by Drew Hayes

I feel like it's safe to say Drew Hayes is most certainly my favorite author currently.

The Case of the Damaged Detective is a different modern day take on Sherlock Holmes. Fun and entertaining with good humor and a satisfying story. I'll be excited for the rest of the series.

Second Hand Curses is a different take on fairy tales. Ever wonder what happened to the rest of the boys on Please Island in Pinocchio? In come the Bastard Champions. They're on their own mission of course. Itll be a lot of fun to see where this series, if it is a series goes.

The Utterly Uninteresting & Unadventurous Tales of Fred. Vampire Accountant. So a nerdy, social awkward guy gets turned into a vampire. Besides his diet nothing much changes for him and these are his adventures. Contrary to what the title says.

Halfway through the year!

Thought I would share with you the books I’ve read so far. 

My favorites have been the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson and the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb.

I’ll answer any ask about them and I would love to hear thoughts from any of you that have also read them.
