The Piper's Pursuit - Melanie Dickerson

First off, my apologies for being so late with this review.  It was a busy holiday season, and we had an amazing time with family visiting.  They were here for almost a month, and we had a great time!  Now that everything is back to normal, there's time to read again!

This is part of Melanie Dickerson's fairy tale series.  This one relates to the Hagenheim family and is a retelling of the Pied Piper.  If you're curious about how this book relates to her others, see my post HERE.

Steffan wants to redeem himself before heading home to face his parents.  He's made some mistakes, and the guilt is eating him up.  When he hears about a beast tormenting the nearby town of Hamlin, he sees it as an opportunity to prove that he's not the same person he used to be.  He's intrigued by the mayor's daughter, but she doesn't seem interested.

Katerina's been hurt in the past and doesn't trust anyone, especially men.  She sees Steffan as just another arrogant man who has his own agenda.  But when he saves her from the beast, she's forced to rethink her opinion of him.

Katerina is a bit of a shrew at times - the one particular instance I'm thinking of is toward the end, but I won't give anything away.  I liked most of the characters throughout the book, but my opinion of her was a bit of a roller coaster.  Overall it's a good read and I enjoyed it.  I'm not sure where this series is going, but we don't have a story for Adela yet, so I'm hoping to see something about her in the future.  Good Book!
