Mira could never understand why princesses should have all the fun—why can’t fairy godmothers enjoy a Prince Charming? Unfortunately, that affair costs Mira both her job and reputation. Cast out of the fairy realm, she’s reduced to working as a tooth fairy, waiting 99 years for her chance at redemptions. She’s so close to reaching her goal when all of a sudden, a bogeyman starts haunting her. Desperate for a good night’s sleep, Mira takes drastic measures, even dating the Prince of Darkness, Aden.

This entire book was such a breezy read. It was funny and, at the same time, engaging, keeping me interesting in solving the mystery. Admittedly, the plot points were fairly obvious; there weren’t any shocking twists. There was also some repetitiveness going on, which slowed down the pace at times.

Still, the story did keep my interest. I think mostly due to the unique voice the author used for Mira. I found her to be a very likable character. She’s kind toward the poor children she encounters in her work, often going the extra mile to help them. Also, she just keeps doing her best to move on and to get her place back, proof that she is worthy, but at the same time, she’s holding herself back.

I think that’s a universal phenomenon. Especially when we focus on fear, which is exactly the focus of this book. We all feel we need to suppress these fears and not pay attention to them. But what if we did? Can our fear help us overcome our problems? Would accepting our fear help us defeat it?

Interesting stuff.

I also enjoyed the side characters, from the ‘Prince of Darkness’ Aden, who is actually a decent and kind man, to bogeyman Jack, who keeps showing up in her dreams and at her work. Sometimes the bogeyman seems nice and caring. Other times he uses his magic to terrify her as a form of therapy. The other tooth fairies were also a good addition to the story, all with their own personal traumas they had to overcome.

All-in-all it was a very imaginative and fun story. If you’re looking for a break from the more serious high fantasy books, I think Wrath of the Toothfairy is a great read, even if the writing could’ve been a bit better and less repetitive.

Wrath of the tooth fairy is a fun read with a twisted tale on tooth fairies and boogeyman. I enjoyed the book very much and look forward to reading more by this author

Wrath of the Tooth Fairy can be classified as a romantic fantasy, but the romance is not as developed as I would like in my romance novels. Fortunately, the romance isn't the draw of the book. Mira's journey is what kept me reading. Mira loved her job as a fairy godmother and was on the way to holding a prominent position before falling in love with Prince Charming. She is determined to regain her fairy godmother status. She has a soft heart and bends the rules to help her clients beyond her teeth collecting duties even if being found out could lead to losing her job--becoming a toilet fairy does not sound fun. While she tries to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, the small ways in which she rebels against the system made her someone I rooted for.

The world immediately drew me in. Although there are different dimensions, the world we spend the most time in is the one that overlaps with human the human world and operates much like it as well. Individuals fulfill occupational roles ranging from bogeyman to Santas and Easter Bunnies. Joining Mira on her journey felt like it could be just another day at work: a lousy boss, incessant complaints, and commiserating with coworkers. Different world, the same problems.

As much as I liked the setup of the novel and Mira's journey, the pacing of the book had me checking how much more I had to go before the middle mark and then how much more until the end. It's repetitive with Mira working, the bogeyman showing up many times over, and Mira trying to figure out what to do about him. It felt like so much happened, but also nothing happened at all. But, I felt well rewarded when I finished the book. Overall, Wrath of the Tooth Fairy was an enjoyable read, and I would definitely recommend it. (3.5 stars rounded to 4 stars)

I quite enjoyed this story. Mira used to be a fairy god mother.. until a scandal between her and prince charming let to her being demoted to a tooth fairy. While all she wants to do is become a fairy god mother again, she does an awsome job of helping the children whose teeth she collects. While she does spend alot of time worrying about possibly loosing her wings, or being demoted to being a toilet fairy I really love how much Mira cares about the children she sees every night. She goes out of her way using her own magic and money to help them in anyway she can. I also loved seeing her realize that she actually does have friends, and could possibly fall in love again, even after the betrayal she suffered from Prince charming.

In the midst of Mira trying to study to become a fairy god mother again, making friends, and finding love again. She and her fellow tooth fairies uncover a plot that involves their direct supervisor and may go even higher up the ladder. Its up to the tooth fairies to find evidence to take him down, its a good thing Mira knows a boogeyman who can gather information for her.

I would love to read more books set in this world, especially following Jack and Mira.. I would love to find out more about his past and how he became a boogeyman.

Really enjoyed this book and found it such a cool idea to read a plot based on tooth fairies. I really liked how the author included other fantasy and paranormal creatures within this.
I loved the tension and really rooted for Mira, feeling so sorry for her! I felt sorry for her that she fell in love, but was treated like an outcast because of this.
I will admit, while the ending was a twist, I did get a tad confused about who was who. But I think that could be because I was glued to the book and stayed up until like 2am to finish it!

First time reading something from this author, and interested in checking out more of her work!

*ARC provided from Netgalley for honest feedback*

There's a lot of potential in this series and some ideas are great. Unfortunately I didn't like the language and the story fell flat.
Not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Nope. Unfortunately, this didn't do it for me, and I couldn't finish it. Between infantilizing word usage one minute, and feeling like this was a YA novel, to explicit sex scenes the next, it felt like it couldn't decide who it was aimed at, but it wasn't aimed at me on any level, which is a shame, I REALLY liked the concept.

Mira used to be a Fairy Godmother until fell in love and then was caught having a ‘moment’ with a Prince Charming. Labelled a pervert Mira is demoted to Tooth Fairy for at least one hundred years. She must now also live in the human world and take a Fairy Godmother correspondence course so that at the end of her 100 years she can hopefully get on the Fairy Godmother apprentice programme and start climbing her way back up.

However, this becomes harder and harder to do when Mira starts getting haunted by a Bogie-man. In a desperate attempt to get rid of the Bogie-man, Mira starts dating the Prince of Darkness and it’s not long before she is uncovering signs of corruption at work.

================

This book was so much fun to read and full of political intrigue! I love fresh retellings of fairy tales and this book really embodies that. I had never considered the idea of a corporation behind fairy tales so that was rather unique.

Certain elements were a little predictable, however overall this was a great read, with engaging characters and the pacing was spot on. I really hope that this is the first in a series because there were definitely a couple of things that did not feel properly tied off at the end.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This wasn’t one for me, I’m afraid. I thought the concept was a good one (disgraced fairy godmother becomes a tooth fairy and uncovers corruption) but I found the writing let it down.

There was lots of infantilisation “beat the poop out of someone” which made it seem like it was written for younger children, but then mashed up with explicit sex scenes clearly aimed at adults. So I was confused at where it was pitched.

Could have been great but ended up being a bit farcical. Fun story, some good characters, poor writing.

Rating: 4/5

This is my first book from Sarina Dorie. I'd forgotten the description of the book and dove right in so that I could get my review done.

My first thoughts upon the initial scene, oh my, this is definitely not a kids story as it's a bit racy. This is definitely a different take on the concept of fairy godmothers and a twist on what's "known" about Snow White. Mira definitely seemed superficial, not necessarily the kind of character I'd like as a friend. She clearly cares about her tooth fairy clients with the extra help she tries to give them though so even at the start she's got redeeming qualities.

This is a fantastical version of the struggle to overcome one's own fears in order to stand up to inequality and corruption in the corporate world. The fairy tale-esque setting was unique and refreshing for this type of plot, and I loved that the author gave the fairies the same first world problems many humans have and added some comic relief here and there. This book started out slow for me though, and I have to admit I thought about giving up a few times during the first half. The main character went through the same daily routine a few too many times without enough new information being added, and there were just so many things that didn't add up and I wasn't sure I was hooked enough to find out if everything would be reconciled in the end. But the plot really picked up after the first half when everything started to be explained and all my questions were eventually answered.

I have to be honest. I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book.
It gave me major SJM vibes, which anyone who knows me knows I hate SJM’ writing.
I wasn’t invested in the story and I felt like the characters and the relationship fell flat.
The writing wasn’t my favorite and I had to really push myself to finish this.
All in all it wasn’t horrible and I can see other people enjoying it, it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

This was a fun read and an interesting story. I felt things were a little rushed maybe? But if you’re into being entertained, this is a good place to start.

The plot of this title was so fun! I really enjoyed the development of the plot and the suspense that came with figuring out the mystery. I think the romance was slightly underdeveloped and there may have needed some clarification on which boogie man was a which, overall it was a fun contemporary paranormal romance.

Being a huge fan of fairytale derived literature, I jumped on this book! I love the ideas behind everything in this sub-genre. How would fairy hierarchies work? How much of your traditional fairy tales are propaganda? What was Snow White REALLY like?

Questions like these are dealt with in the Wrath of the Tooth Fairy, where our Tooth Fairy in question is a former Fairy Godmother, demoted for getting romantically involved in with one of the Prince Charmings. Fabulously entertaining and fun. Unfortunately, the stereotypes promoted of the poorer people and immigrants in society are pretty terrible - how hard she has to work to 'cure' the poor children of lice, or bites, or heal them from bruises or scratches or call child services. Terrible stereotypes. I wish these had have been caught a modified/edited out - I understand the author trying to make her a sympathetic and caring character, as well as one of the incidents involving her boss needing the difference in wealth, but it was too much - the storyline was fun, but a lot of the anti-poor tropes should have been caught and culled in editing.

This was such a fun and entertaining story. I loved the different take on several fairytale characters like Snow White and Prince Charming.. Mira is a hilarious character that keeps the story entertaining, especially her banter with the bogey man. The pacing of the story was great. There was the perfect balance of action, romance, and comedy to keep me turning the pages. If you’re looking for a fun, light read I highly recommend trying this one.

An interesting take on a different kind of fairy tale creature. The cover and blurb grabbed my attention, and I was excited to dive in.
Unfortunately, when I did get to read, it was a lukewarm feeling at best. I don’t know what exactly I was looking for, but this wasn’t it. Most of the story seemed to drag, and it really weighed down the experience.
Overall, it wasn’t a bad read, but it really wasn’t for me.

After messing around with Prince Charming, fairy godmother, Mira, is left distraught, angry, and broken hearted. Working through a 100 year sentence of being a tooth fairy, on the 99th year, the bogey man shows up, Aden. After being robbed by Aden, her careless and strict boss shows no sympathy, thus making Mira take matters into her own hands.

A for effort for this book. While the story line and concept of the book was brilliant, the execution lacked heavily. While Mira carried a heart full of compassion and love, the way the author portrayed so much within this book was heart breaking. The author showed no real knowledge of low class and different races lived. Her lack of sympathy towards those stereotypes was a game changer for me. Basically, a large amount of the book was just *cringe*. The book have used another round of editorial work as most of the book could have been cut out. It should not have been so lengthy with all of the repeating nonsense. The short enemies to lovers feel lasted for all of about two pages(?), and even then, the characters did not mesh well.

I enjoyed this well enough, pacing was good but I did feel it was similar to so many other Fae books out there, only its a tooth fairy instead...

Mira is a fairy godmother whose indiscretions with Prince Charming get her in trouble. She’s heartbroken, mad, and demoted to a tooth fairy. Fast forward 99 years and she’s working through her last year as a tooth fairy before she can return to the Fairy Realm and start her life fresh as a fairy godmother once again. During one of her nightly shifts gathering teeth she meets a shadow man. A demon. A bogeyman. After running in fear from this shadow man, Mira realizes that he stole something important from her. After this encounter, this bogeyman haunts Mira’s dreams.


I feel like Mira stated how she was disgraced in the Fairy Realm a bit too much. She mentioned it a dozen times in the first couple of chapters. The world building and magic system was wonderful and unique. The story itself was a great concept, but the execution fell flat. It had a lot of potential. The way the author portrayed the ‘poor’ family living in a trailer was classist and honestly one of the worst parts of this book. She stereotyped people living in trailers poorly, no pun intended. The family had a bunch of children all crammed into two small bedrooms and lice ridden. I get that Mira was supposed to be this kind tooth fairy, coming to the rescue of poor, impoverished children, but honestly, that characteristic and story line only took away from the book. And then her portrayal of the ‘immigrant housing’, Y I K E S. To add to those, the way the author wrote accents was appalling. At least a third of this book felt like filler. The timeline doesn’t seem to add up either. The love story aspect also had a ton of potential, but felt very forced. This bogeyman literally stalked this fairy and then what, she fell for him? He manipulated her. And there was very little love story to follow. The characters did not feel relatable.
