I enjoyed all the stories, but particularly Taken in Death. Not just because I'm a huge In Death fan, but because this story featured kids, and it's fun to watch Eve with kids. LOL ( )

Modern day twists on classic fairy tales like Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, Cinderella and the Little Matchbox Girl. Well written by well established authors. A fun read. ( )

Overall, I enjoyed this anthology. I read it for the J.D. Robb story, which was superb as always, but I absolutely loved 'Beauty, Sleeping' by Elaine Fox. It was by far my favorite of the other stories in the book. I would definitely read that one over again. 'Stroke of Midnight' and 'The Christmas Comet' were good, but I didn't like 'If Wishes Were Horses' very much. Mainly because I didn't really care for the heroine.

Taken in Death: 5 stars*
If Wishes Were Horses: 3 stars
Beauty, Sleeping: 5 stars*
The Christmas Comet: 4 stars
Stroke of Midnight: 4 stars ( )

Mirror, Mirror features five very talented author's takes on the classic stories Hansel & Gretel, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and The Little Match Girl.

With each author giving their dramatically unique spin on their chosen fairy tale Mirror, Mirror becomes more than your average anthology. It almost becomes an event.J.D. Robb, Elaine Fox, Mary Kay McComas and R.C. Ryan bring in the contemporary while Mary Blayney adds a dash of historical.

I enjoyed each and every author's story and the fact thatMirror, Mirror wasn't just contemporary takes on fairy tales made it all the more enjoyable. My favorite though of course was J.D. Robb's dark, suspense filled take on Hansel & Gretel. With the much loved Eve Dallas & Roarke and the "In Death" crew. Told in a very convincing manner, it will give you chills just thinking that there are actually people in the world like the antagonist. Whoa, what does that say about me that I liked that story the best? ( )

I only read Taken in Death. I enjoyed it, as usual. Haven't disliked a book in this series after almost 40 books! ( )
