If you thought The Forest Grimm was wild, just wait until you dive into The Deathly Grimm! This sequel is packed with eerie vibes, high stakes, and the perfect dose of romance to keep you hooked from start to finish. Kathryn Purdie really brought her A-game for the conclusion to this duology.

The forest is creepier than ever, and just when you think Clara and Axel can catch a break, surprise—the curse isn’t done with them. I loved the new twists and turns as Clara and Axel head back into the woods. The riddles, deadly creatures, and hauntingly magical beings they encounter kept me on edge the whole time. It’s like every fairy tale nightmare came alive, but in the best, most terrifying way.

What I really appreciated was how much Clara grew in this book. She’s finally embracing her visions, and her strength and determination are next level. Plus, the tension between her and Axel? So good. Their relationship is tested in some pretty heartbreaking ways, and you can’t help but root for them as they fight to save their home—and each other. The ending was bittersweet, but honestly, it felt just right for this story. Not everyone gets a fairy tale happy ending, but it’s all the more powerful because of that.

If you’re a fan of dark fairytales, mysterious forests, or stories that keep you guessing, this one’s for you. It’s like Once Upon a Time meets The Brothers Grimm with a pinch of romance and a whole lot of danger. Highly recommend this series—it’s the kind of duology you’ll want to reread just to soak in all the details!

The deathly Grimm was fantastic! I just Loved reading it. I suppose all you need to know is that it’s a cracking action-packed story with a highly satisfactory ending – I really do recommend it.

The Deathly Grimm was such a captivating, eerie adventure - I couldn’t put it down. The dark fairytale vibes were absolutely on point, and I loved diving back into the cursed forest with Clara and Axel. The tension between them, both romantic and emotional, gave the story so much heart, and watching Clara grow into her abilities while they unraveled the truth behind the curse kept me hooked. The creepy forest creatures and sinister riddles made the stakes feel higher than ever, and I found myself holding my breath more than once.

What I really appreciated was how the story didn’t shy away from its darker elements - it embraced the danger, loss, and haunting beauty of the forest while still offering hope and redemption. The ending felt satisfying and bittersweet, giving just the right mix of closure and wonder. If you love fairytales with a sharp edge, a touch of romance, and a world that feels both magical and menacing, this duology delivers. I already know I’ll be thinking about that forest for a long time!
