Meet the Grimm Sisters - Sabrina and Daphne

Orphaned after their parents mysteriously disappear, sisters Daphne and Sabrina Grimm are sent to live with the grandmother they've never known. They had been told that Granny Relda was dead, when in fact she was very much alive and living in upstate New York. Granny introduces the girls to the unusual assortment of characters who inhabit Ferryport Landing, a town on the Hudson River were many strange and mysterious crimes have been occurring. In Ferryport Landing, Sabrina and Daphne learn that they are descendants of the famous Grimm Brothers and that those famous fairy tales were actually histories of a magical parallel world. Their first cases focus on Jack and the giant who is rampaging through town, smarmy Price Charming, who as mayor of Ferryport Landing has broader political ambitions, and a plot to kidnap Granny Relda.

My Review of The Sisters Grimm 

I had no idea exactly what I was in for when I picked up Fairy Tale Detectives, the first book in The Sisters Grimm series. The cover looked cool, I was intrigued by the fairy tale angle and it was time for a new series. Wow! I was in for a treat.

The characters of Sabrina and Daphne are multi-dimensional and strong. Despite her princess fascination, Daphne isn't a wimpy girl, and Sabrina's troubled mind and heart keep her from walking a predictable line. From the first story, they learn to take their weird new world in stride as people turn into pigs, witches toss forgetful dust and a giant kidnaps their grandmother.

"Terrific, head-spinning series...Rich in well-set-up surprises and imaginatively tweaked characters."

Sabrina or Daphne? 

Sabrina is the "grown-up" of the pair and is highly suspicious of everyone (and everything) that crosses their paths. She tends to make the decisions - however brashly - and feels the need to protect Daphne at every turn. On the other hand, Daphne is open, gullible and loving to everyone they meet. She adores their new life in Ferryport and is excited by every new Everafter they meet.

    I LOVE PUCK!!! I can't wait till the sixth and seventh books. Unfortunatly I'm not allowed to buy them on Amazon. I can't believe Sabrina hates Puck, OK so he's a bit mean to her but oh well! He's just so lovable! If she doesn't want him, he's mine! His pranks are so funny especially the buttermilk thing that makes their hair stick up!

    I also agree. Puck maybe a little gross and immature at times, but I love him!!
    He is so lovable, and I would love to be in Sabrina's place. Puck is my
    soulmate, and I hope they pick a good actor for the movie. He is awesome.
    I LOVE PUCK!!!!!

    I TOTALLY agree with you Sabrina gets on my nerves! Expecially when she yelled histerically at Puck when he kissed her in book 3! I could have killed her for that! I would have been soooooo happy if i were in Sabrina's place on pages 144 -145 in The Problem Child. Or just take her place for the whole series! Puck may be dirty and mean and anoying at times, but he seems to care at times when people need someone caring in their lives! I would give anything in the world to be with someone who cares for me the way Puck feels for Sabrina! <3

    I love Puck. Just reading the books made me want to live in Ferryport Landing! Puck WILL be my second husband! I'm sorry but Sabrina has to die. I think the Scarlet Hand should kill her off in the next book and I should come in instead. I can also act so if there is a movie for it, sign me up (although I'm a red-head). I will beat any one who comes in my path of Puck.
