My top thoughts:

It was great to get to Nate better! He's a character I've found interesting from the start and since he's a reaper there's a lot to unpack. I read this after reading books 2 and 3. While that worked fine, I do wish I had read it after book 1 as it has some great little tidbits both in the progression of Red and Nate's relationship, as well as future characters. So I highly recommend reading in order! 

What I liked/didn't like:

After reading Red, I adored Nate but I did not truly know him. By giving us his POV and showing us so much of Nate's history we get to see his darker side and how much he's overcome, only to leave loving him more. I don't want to spoil anything, so I will just say the secrets we thought Nate revealed in Red is the tip of the iceberg! Wow there's so much more to him -- and as a result his relationships -- than I had anticipated. It was really great having those details laid out and I'm so glad he was able to level with Tess as well. I hate when relationships are ruined by lies and secrets! 

But even better than getting to Nate's history -- getting to understand what it is to be a reaper! Holy hell y'all! Kate SeRine really has built a fascinating, complex world that just sucks you in. So many twists, turns and a few edge of your seat moments! It's a novella, but it delivers a FULL story. 

Once again, loved every minute of this world and can't wait to read more Transplanted Tales!

It is no secret that I like a good fairy tale retelling - hello, look at the blog name. I'll wait ... ;-) SeRine's Transplanted Tales has been one of my favorites since I first read Red about a year ago. I was extremely excited to get back into Red and Nate's relationship in Grimm Consequences after having spent some time with some other couples.

This story takes us back to just a couple months after the events in Red, and is from Nate's point of view. He made it abundantly clear to Red just how much he cares for her, but now we get the insight and whoa momma - the love he feels for her is nearly overwhelming! He loves her so much he is terrified of losing her to the secrets of his past. So of course those secrets come out in the most inopportune way.

What I enjoyed most of all was seeing Tess Little "Red" through Nate's eyes. After getting to know her so well, and all her insecurities, it was adorable to see her in a new light. I fell more in love with him, her, and them as a couple in Consequences than I even thought possible.

I don't know where SeRine gets the ideas to put such unique spins on such classic stories, but I really hope she keeps it up. With each new story she confirms me as a fan for life.

I love Nate Grimm :)

Kate Serine’s Transplanted Tales have delighted me, and I was so excited for Grimm Consequences. This is a novella that takes place between Red and the Better to See You. It shares the back-story of Nate Grimm the sexy reaper who won Tess’s heart. Serine brought him to life and made me swoon, shed a tear and fall deeper in love with this reaper. Mini review: Fans of the series will be deeply satisfied with Nate’s tale.

Nate Grimm is the lead detective at the Fairytale Management Authority and a part-time reaper. He is also romantically involved with kick-ass detective Tess “Red” Little. Nate has secrets, and a dark past, and all of it is about to put those he loves in danger. The tale that unfolds is suspenseful, emotionally engaging and completely swoon-worthy.
Call me crazy but I love Reapers and Nate Grimm is one of favorites. I imagine him as old-fashioned, sexy and debonair. In my mind, he resembles Neal Caffrey, from the hit television show White Collar. Now imagine tattoos and beautifully defined abs..yep. Swoon-worthy from the way, he walks to his sharp attire and finger worthy hair. From the beginning of the Transplanted Tales series, Nate’s love, respect and need to protect Tess has been evident. In Grimm Consequences SeRine reveals just how long Nate has had these feelings. She shares details about his past and I loved learning how and why he became a reaper.


Grimm Consequences was action-packed, suspenseful and had my heart racing as Nate and Tess’s fate was tested. SeRine gives us characters to loath and fear all while exposing Nate, placing Tess in danger and keeping my heart in my throat. It was brilliant and completely satisfying.

If you haven’t tried the Transplanted Tales yet I urge you to do so. SeRine takes urban fantasy, crime thrillers and fairy tale characters and creates magic. The tales currently available are Red, Grimm Consequences, The Better to See You, and Along Came a Spider. The fourth book, Ever After, will be released in August of 2014. All of the books deal with one Tale, a case and their romance.
