this story was a creative play on this fairytale and i really enjoyed how everything tied nicely together. i was not entirely satisfied with the ending, and i didn't really like the romance all that much, which impacted the plot and it took me out of the story a little bit. overall an enjoyable read, just some things that didn't work well with me.
thanks to netgalley and the publisher for providing me with the digital arc in exchange for an honest review.

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.

Overall I thought this was extremely creative and appreciate that nothing was left unexplained. However, I was not entirely satisfied with the ending. After everything the protagonist went through to get there it still felt like she was judged by her past. I found the romantic relationship was lacking as well, which further took away from the ending. The romance was somewhat significant to the plot, but I also felt weird (for lack of a better word) about it. Not only did Mira's boyfriend start by regularly stalking and harassing her - no matter how noble his true intentions were - most of the relationship building happened off-page and when the couple was together things were (although understandable given the circumstances) often rocky at best which left me unable to feel the love when it was supposed to be there. This was still a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes strong female characters, fairy tale-style fantasy, and happy endings.

My rating: 3.25

I don't know what I was expecting when I requested this ARC but I certainly wasn't expecting what I found in it. Books with “Tooth Fairy” in the title are usually meant for children but NetGalley made it very clear that this was a romance-fantasy. I guess I was intrigued to read for myself what the author had attempted. The end result is what I should have anticipated – mixed feelings.

Mira is demoted from her job of being the fairy godmother to Prince Charming after she is found in a compromising position with him. Her new profile has her as the designated tooth fairy for the poorer regions of America for a penalty period of a hundred years. Now, in the very last year of her punishment, she finds herself suddenly haunted by the bogeyman, and facing sexual harassment through her reporting head. If she wishes to be reinstated as a fairy godmother, she needs to start taking action.

The blurb promised a more fun story but I found the book quite dramatic. It was quite heavy on romance, no doubt. But the fantasy part of it is very weak, only restricted to the various fantastical creatures who are the main and secondary characters in the book. I wanted more of a legitimate fantasy and a fairy godmother standing up for herself, but this turned out to be a romantic drama with fairies & other creatures instead of humans. The plot had an interesting but weird amalgamation of urban human life and fairy fiction, what with the fairies using Google to find information.

If I had felt at least some attraction to the characters, I might have enjoyed the book more. But I simply couldn’t connect with Mira or the other fairies (Harmony was the only one I liked for the way her character was etched out). I didn’t get the romantic association between Aden and Mira. I also feel that the title of the book is quite unsuitable to the story. The wrath part doesn’t reveal itself till about 90%, so there flies your main emotion out the window. The Tooth Fairy part too gives the incorrect idea, as I mentioned earlier, that the book will suit a younger audience. Also, the cover contains one really big spoiler about one of the characters of the story. I didn't understand why that plot point was kept under "cover" for such a big part of the story when the cover depicts that character clearly.

I was completely disappointed by the first half of the book, not just because the story was completely other than what I had anticipated, but also because it meandered too much without making sure that the plot was supported by the twists and turns. The pacing was quite slow, the chemistry between the characters was almost zero. Another big disappointment was that the big reveal about Aden (Mira’s love interest) and the bogeyman is quite guessable. Only after the 70% mark did I regain some interest in the direction finally taken by the narrative and the ending was more or less a good conclusion to the story. But it was a case of too little too late.

The ending almost tempted me to give a high rating to the book but that would be an unfair representation of the overall book. So a 2.5 stars for the first half and a 4 for the second half makes it a 3.25.

Thank you, NetGalley and REUTS Publications, for the Advanced Review Copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Fairytales meet modern days in this delightful fantasy romance.

I haven't read anything by Ms. Dorie before, but the book description sounded interesting. While there were a lot of characters to meet, I didn't feel lost at any point in the story. It flowed well and kept me entertained from beginning to end.

Mira has had a rough time of it since she was caught with Prince Charming. Demoted to Tooth Fairy, she works tirelessly to regain her Fairy Godmother status. It's too big a part of who she is to give up. Mira has a big heart, always looking out for those in need, and even if it will get her in trouble and possibly cost her the future she desperately wants, she can't help but make sure the children are taken care of. I loved her character!

The Bogeyman wasn't at all who he seemed to be. Creepy, stalker-ish, and evil are the ways we typically view the Bogeyman, but Ms. Dorie put a different spin on this story. I won't spoil the surprise, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you discover who he is and what he's been doing.

The side characters made the story richer -- vampires, fairies, and other creatures help round out the world Ms. Dorie has created. I wouldn't mind reading more about the other Tooth Fairies and hope they'll get a book in the future.

Wrath of the Tooth Fairy was an absolute delight! Mystery, romance, and the age-old tale of good vs. evil made this a page-turning, entertaining read that I couldn't put down.

I didn't know what to expert when I started the book to be honnest. But I am definitely not disappointed.

It is a great retelling of the fairies and the realm around it. It was a easy to read, and hooked me from the beginning.

Some part of the story that in my opinion are unecessary as they are already described previously.

Otherwise I still recommend this book, especially if you like twist in the stories ! You won't be disappointed with this, I always wanted to know what was going to happen next.

I received this book for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

Well... I'm not sure how to review this book. I loved it and I loved it because it was so unique and different from other books I've read.

Three and a half
This was very different to previous books I've read by this author and for me an improvement. I liked Mira although she's not exactly perfect but is definitely working hard to not just get her old job back but actually help the children she comes in contact with.
Well who would have thought that the Bogeyman could be written as a character with many facets ? I did find his character to be a little all over the place at times which led to confusion. What was most interesting however was the scheming and corruption back at Tooth Fairy central ! That made huge sense although I do think that this book felt overlong at times.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

I was apprehensive starting this book I initially loved Ms Dorie's Womby's school for wayward witches but I loathed how the series concluded. To the best of my knowledge, this is standalone and I really enjoyed it. Mira was a likeable character and she didn't deserve what happened to her. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked. I figured out some of the mysteries but even I was supposed at the ending.


I received an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Who KNEW the tooth fairy had such a history?! You go girl! I loved this take on the tooth fairy fairy tale. This is a book I will be sharing with girlfriends.

A dark fantasy retelling of the beloved tooth fairy story

One which will haunt your dreams and you’ll never want to leave your tooth under your pillow ever again

I love a Fae tale and this will be a firm favourite quick read for a long time

I was not expecting to every be afraid of the Tooth Fairy, but lo and behold here we are.

This was something I was not thinking I would like, but overall I feel like I enjoyed this.

This paints the Tooth Fairy as a "dark fae" sort of creature, and somehow, SOMEHOW that works.

If you like dark fantasy retellings of classic childhood myths, pick this up.

This is a different type of story. Mira is a disgraced fairy godmother who has almost finished her punishment of 100 years as a tooth fairy, after falling for Prince Charming and being discovered in a closet with him.

There are demons, fairies of all types, angels, vampires, elves, Santa, the bogeyman, etc. The writing is fine, written in first person from Mira's POV. This is a long book and I would have liked it better if the plot had been tightened, because I kept putting it down and reading other books as it sometimes zoned me out. It's very easy to read and understand though and quite entertaining in parts, but probably not quite my cup of tea. There are a lot of characters our heroine interacts with at 'work' and I do think the author has a wonderful imagination. My thanks go to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-arc in return for my opinion.

A very funny and well paced book, hard to put down!

The characters were well thought out and very descriptive. I personally enjoyed this title immensely.

I received an advanced reader's copy of Wrath of the Tooth Fairy (Fairy Godmother Mysteries, Book 1) by Sarina Dorie from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was the first book by Sarina Dorie that I had read and I was pleasantly surprised to find an enjoyable new author to follow.

Overall, I felt this was a solid fantasy/romance novel and I found it to be extremely well written. The plot was engaging and not like any other book I’ve read lately.

I liked the world-building the author did and how well fleshed out the characters were (they had layers, people!). They each had their own unique personality and motivations, and it worked together well. I especially liked the dynamic between former fairy godmother turned tooth fairy, Mira, and her eventual love interest, Aden.

This novel had everything - an interesting plot, characters you like and connect with, characters you don’t like and want to see brought down, magic, action, drama, angst, and more!

All in all, Wrath of the Tooth Fairy by Sarina Dorie was a really fun read and I would recommend it for any fantasy/romance fan.

I really liked the premise of this book and the ideas for the plot were original and fun. I couldn't really get into the way it was written, however, despite really really wanting to like it. I felt like the writing was pretty simplistic and the characters rather flat. I think the author has great ideas and will look forward to seeing more from them in the future.
