Don't Do This To MEEEEEEEEE: An Interview with Kim Barden

📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖This week we're joined by Kim Barden who just finished her Finding Ever After Series joins us for a talk about the bittersweet moment of finishing her sweeping fantasy, Bring Your Own Book, and Space Em or Embrace Em. And yes, we tortured her with the options. BUY IT HEREOnce Upon a Time meets Grimms dark fairytales in this tale about vengeance, curses and love. Eveline Rafter has a gift. Not only can she hit every target with her twin golden knives, but she can find lost things. When Princess Snowfall of Bellatorre goes missing, Eveline is hired by the mysterious Huntsman to find her. With enough medallions to ransom a king, she knows she can't resist. But when she's thrust into a power game with old and terrifying magic, Eveline can't ignore the brewing unrest, or the shadows, or the secrets fighting to break free. When her dark past begins to catch up with her, Eveline begins to question the one thing she trusted most: Herself. Confused by her desires for the Huntsman, Eveline tries to navigate her curse, her fate and her friendships. But with a bloodthirsty Queen out to eat their hearts, Eveline and her companions soon find that not all stories have a happily ever after. Set against the dark forests of old fairy tales, in a kingdom ruled by an evil queen who consumes hearts for their youth and power, The Gilded Mirror is a YA dark retelling of the original Grimm's fairytales. GoodReads reviews:'This was a wonderful fairytale rendition of epic proportions.''The Gilded Mirror was an action packed, super fun read, full of adventure.''This fantasy elegantly blends a story based in fairytales seamlessly with an effortless flow.''The Gilded Mirror is an epic YA Fantasy read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I laughed out loud, feared for the hero and her motley crew and even rooted for the amazingly in-depth villain.''This is the most glorious ride through the familiar land of fairytales.'We volunteer as tribute--repeatedly.
