Jodi Walters tries to help the magical fit into this world, and she is excellent at managing to find them work in Hollywood. She bridges the gap between the worlds which makes her the go to girl for any magical problem. Unfortunately, a problem comes her way that she wants no part in fixing, but the Fairy Tale Stalker is giving them bad publicity and she is the fixer. Against her better judgment, she goes to see Bluebeard. After all, the Fairy Tale Stalker is mimicking his life, and she can not only gain insight from him, but also ascertain his whereabouts for the incidents. However, Jodi did not count on finding him so attractive nor discovering a much deeper dilemma. Will Jodi find the Fairy Tale Stalker before he escalates to killing? Will she figure out a way to break the curse before she becomes the next victim?

Bluebeard hates what his life has become. He was once a sought after prince, but too many wives murdered by his hand has him laying low. He drowns out the memories of the past and pushes people away by overindulging in alcohol, not bathing, and refusing to talk to women. Checking into rehab seems to be the perfect solution to his problems with the added benefit of not having to deal with the public. However, Jodi storms into his life with information about another man going through the horrible curse that he has lived and is still living. Unfortunately, she awakens something in Blue and she has become a target. If they cannot find a way to break the cycle, she will die like all the others. Will Bluebeard remember something from his past that will help? Or is he doomed to live forever hurting those he cares about?

Kristine Grayson brews an intoxicating potion flavoring it with the bitterness of curses and deceit, tempering it with the sweetness of hope and love, and topping it off with a sprinkling of fairy dust. She addicts us with the first spicy sip, plies us with the delectable nectar to keep us hooked, and leaves us groveling for more of her wildly imaginative tales. Jodi and Blue have a dangerous web to untangle, but they are not alone. There are numerous cameos from other famous folks, and the help comes from some rather unexpected places. I am caught up in the fairytale craze, and I absolutely adore Ms. Grayson's adaptations. CHARMING BLUE is a marvelous story that will keep you glued to the pages wondering what else the original tales left out. I am certainly clearing out a place on my keeper shelf for Ms. Grayson's creative fairytale series.
