Mira loved her job as a Fairy Godmother. The luxuries and status of being assigned to the prominent Charming family was a pretty nice bonus too. But all that wealth and reputation came crashing down on her pretty, purple wings when she was caught getting hot and bothered in a closet with Prince Charming.
Demoted for the affair and labelled a sex-addicted, degenerate Charming-molester. Mira has been keeping her head down, working as a common tooth fairy for the last ninety-nine years.
This certainly is an interesting and original concept. Every fairy tale creature you could think of, from Frog Princes to cupids, dwarfs and bogeymen, and of course tooth fairies and Fairy God Mothers, all work in bureaucratic office-like jobs, complete with the typical identical cubicles and strict uniforms differing on their Division. In a modern world where one wave of a wand could magic your problems away, is still subjected to the relatable stifling rules with no rhyme or reason, and plagued with corruption.
Wrath of the Tooth Fairy explores all these subjects and has fun doing it too. The downside however is that Mira is stuck on the self-pity train that made her a little hard to connect with. When she does, thankfully, start to come out of her world and see the issues and people around her, it was a sigh of relief. From then on, the story started to gain some much needed traction to move through the plot towards this story’s conclusion.
All in all, this was a fun, imaginative and noteworthy read, filled with self-discovery, friendships and romance. Where Wrath of the Tooth Fairy leaves off paints a far more compelling continuation to come and I personally am looking forward to seeing Mira in her new role with her fresh outlook on life.

Mira could never understand why princesses should have all the fun—why can’t fairy godmothers enjoy a Prince Charming? Unfortunately, that affair costs Mira both her job and reputation. Cast out of the fairy realm, she’s reduced to working as a tooth fairy, waiting 99 years for her chance at redemptions. She’s so close to reaching her goal when all of a sudden, a bogeyman starts haunting her. Desperate for a good night’s sleep, Mira takes drastic measures, even dating the Prince of Darkness, Aden.

This entire book was such a breezy read. It was funny and, at the same time, engaging, keeping me interesting in solving the mystery. Admittedly, the plot points were fairly obvious; there weren’t any shocking twists. There was also some repetitiveness going on, which slowed down the pace at times.

Still, the story did keep my interest. I think mostly due to the unique voice the author used for Mira. I found her to be a very likable character. She’s kind toward the poor children she encounters in her work, often going the extra mile to help them. Also, she just keeps doing her best to move on and to get her place back, proof that she is worthy, but at the same time, she’s holding herself back.

I think that’s a universal phenomenon. Especially when we focus on fear, which is exactly the focus of this book. We all feel we need to suppress these fears and not pay attention to them. But what if we did? Can our fear help us overcome our problems? Would accepting our fear help us defeat it?

Interesting stuff.

I also enjoyed the side characters, from the ‘Prince of Darkness’ Aden, who is actually a decent and kind man, to bogeyman Jack, who keeps showing up in her dreams and at her work. Sometimes the bogeyman seems nice and caring. Other times he uses his magic to terrify her as a form of therapy. The other tooth fairies were also a good addition to the story, all with their own personal traumas they had to overcome.

All-in-all it was a very imaginative and fun story. If you’re looking for a break from the more serious high fantasy books, I think Wrath of the Toothfairy is a great read, even if the writing could’ve been a bit better and less repetitive.

Wrath of the tooth fairy is a fun read with a twisted tale on tooth fairies and boogeyman. I enjoyed the book very much and look forward to reading more by this author

Wrath of the Tooth Fairy can be classified as a romantic fantasy, but the romance is not as developed as I would like in my romance novels. Fortunately, the romance isn't the draw of the book. Mira's journey is what kept me reading. Mira loved her job as a fairy godmother and was on the way to holding a prominent position before falling in love with Prince Charming. She is determined to regain her fairy godmother status. She has a soft heart and bends the rules to help her clients beyond her teeth collecting duties even if being found out could lead to losing her job--becoming a toilet fairy does not sound fun. While she tries to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, the small ways in which she rebels against the system made her someone I rooted for.

The world immediately drew me in. Although there are different dimensions, the world we spend the most time in is the one that overlaps with human the human world and operates much like it as well. Individuals fulfill occupational roles ranging from bogeyman to Santas and Easter Bunnies. Joining Mira on her journey felt like it could be just another day at work: a lousy boss, incessant complaints, and commiserating with coworkers. Different world, the same problems.

As much as I liked the setup of the novel and Mira's journey, the pacing of the book had me checking how much more I had to go before the middle mark and then how much more until the end. It's repetitive with Mira working, the bogeyman showing up many times over, and Mira trying to figure out what to do about him. It felt like so much happened, but also nothing happened at all. But, I felt well rewarded when I finished the book. Overall, Wrath of the Tooth Fairy was an enjoyable read, and I would definitely recommend it. (3.5 stars rounded to 4 stars)

I quite enjoyed this story. Mira used to be a fairy god mother.. until a scandal between her and prince charming let to her being demoted to a tooth fairy. While all she wants to do is become a fairy god mother again, she does an awsome job of helping the children whose teeth she collects. While she does spend alot of time worrying about possibly loosing her wings, or being demoted to being a toilet fairy I really love how much Mira cares about the children she sees every night. She goes out of her way using her own magic and money to help them in anyway she can. I also loved seeing her realize that she actually does have friends, and could possibly fall in love again, even after the betrayal she suffered from Prince charming.

In the midst of Mira trying to study to become a fairy god mother again, making friends, and finding love again. She and her fellow tooth fairies uncover a plot that involves their direct supervisor and may go even higher up the ladder. Its up to the tooth fairies to find evidence to take him down, its a good thing Mira knows a boogeyman who can gather information for her.

I would love to read more books set in this world, especially following Jack and Mira.. I would love to find out more about his past and how he became a boogeyman.

Really enjoyed this book and found it such a cool idea to read a plot based on tooth fairies. I really liked how the author included other fantasy and paranormal creatures within this.
I loved the tension and really rooted for Mira, feeling so sorry for her! I felt sorry for her that she fell in love, but was treated like an outcast because of this.
I will admit, while the ending was a twist, I did get a tad confused about who was who. But I think that could be because I was glued to the book and stayed up until like 2am to finish it!

First time reading something from this author, and interested in checking out more of her work!

*ARC provided from Netgalley for honest feedback*

There's a lot of potential in this series and some ideas are great. Unfortunately I didn't like the language and the story fell flat.
Not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Nope. Unfortunately, this didn't do it for me, and I couldn't finish it. Between infantilizing word usage one minute, and feeling like this was a YA novel, to explicit sex scenes the next, it felt like it couldn't decide who it was aimed at, but it wasn't aimed at me on any level, which is a shame, I REALLY liked the concept.

Mira used to be a Fairy Godmother until fell in love and then was caught having a ‘moment’ with a Prince Charming. Labelled a pervert Mira is demoted to Tooth Fairy for at least one hundred years. She must now also live in the human world and take a Fairy Godmother correspondence course so that at the end of her 100 years she can hopefully get on the Fairy Godmother apprentice programme and start climbing her way back up.

However, this becomes harder and harder to do when Mira starts getting haunted by a Bogie-man. In a desperate attempt to get rid of the Bogie-man, Mira starts dating the Prince of Darkness and it’s not long before she is uncovering signs of corruption at work.

================

This book was so much fun to read and full of political intrigue! I love fresh retellings of fairy tales and this book really embodies that. I had never considered the idea of a corporation behind fairy tales so that was rather unique.

Certain elements were a little predictable, however overall this was a great read, with engaging characters and the pacing was spot on. I really hope that this is the first in a series because there were definitely a couple of things that did not feel properly tied off at the end.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This wasn’t one for me, I’m afraid. I thought the concept was a good one (disgraced fairy godmother becomes a tooth fairy and uncovers corruption) but I found the writing let it down.

There was lots of infantilisation “beat the poop out of someone” which made it seem like it was written for younger children, but then mashed up with explicit sex scenes clearly aimed at adults. So I was confused at where it was pitched.

Could have been great but ended up being a bit farcical. Fun story, some good characters, poor writing.

Rating: 4/5

This is my first book from Sarina Dorie. I'd forgotten the description of the book and dove right in so that I could get my review done.

My first thoughts upon the initial scene, oh my, this is definitely not a kids story as it's a bit racy. This is definitely a different take on the concept of fairy godmothers and a twist on what's "known" about Snow White. Mira definitely seemed superficial, not necessarily the kind of character I'd like as a friend. She clearly cares about her tooth fairy clients with the extra help she tries to give them though so even at the start she's got redeeming qualities.

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.

I have to be honest. I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book.
It gave me major SJM vibes, which anyone who knows me knows I hate SJM’ writing.
I wasn’t invested in the story and I felt like the characters and the relationship fell flat.
The writing wasn’t my favorite and I had to really push myself to finish this.
All in all it wasn’t horrible and I can see other people enjoying it, it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

The Wrath of the Tooth Fairy is a fun concept -- the bureaucratization of a fairy world that we only know about it in fairy tales and myths. Our "favorite" characters aren't that nice. Fairy godmothers can be fired. And stigma exists even here where magic can make all kinds of things possible.

For the most part, I really enjoyed this book as an entertaining, fun read. Mira is stuck in her own trauma and fears, even after 100 years -- so much that she doesn't have friends (or thinks she doesn't), doesn't date, and obsesses over past mistakes and a future return to "glory." That she's a hot mess is relatable. That she found (questionable) love and friendship in the midst of that is satisfying. And the ending is what you'd expect from a fairy tale story.

That being said, there is definite room for improvement. The repetition of Mira's stress, fear, and angst about what she's lost and wondering if she'll ever get back to the Fairy Realm weighed down the story in the middle. Different subplots felt rushed -- out of nowhere, we learn about a cupid's arrow and go through five minutes of Cupid bureaucracy but it's never really explored. Her boss's harassment is dealt with but it's unsatisfying at the end as it all happens behind the scenes. She finds a group of friends at work after (presumably) ignoring them for 100 years -- is she so great they all liked her even when she avoided them??

The boyfriend and bogeyman storyline is interesting, but it seems to gloss over the lying and stalking part of things. I'm here for a happy ending, but Mira should have been a lot angrier than she was, regardless of how things ultimately end up. That being said, I thought the plotline about dealing with her greatest fear was interesting, although that felt like one more detail jammed into a giant book.

I appreciated what Mira wanted to do for her tooth fairy "clients" -- I wish we could have seen what happened after her work was discovered by higher ups. Maybe an epilogue?

Overall, I would read more from this world as I think there's a lot to be explored. Like...how did Jack Charming end up as a bogeyman? Why is Snow White so awful? What's it really like down in the Low World? What kind of drama and hijinks do the Cupids get up to? There's so much to explore from this world, and I think if the plots and pacing were tightened up a bit, it would be a great series to dive into.

This was a fun read and an interesting story. I felt things were a little rushed maybe? But if you’re into being entertained, this is a good place to start.

The plot of this title was so fun! I really enjoyed the development of the plot and the suspense that came with figuring out the mystery. I think the romance was slightly underdeveloped and there may have needed some clarification on which boogie man was a which, overall it was a fun contemporary paranormal romance.

I was so excited to receive this ARC from Netgalley. I liked the first few chapters of this book and then the story just started to go south from there. I wasn't liking the characters and the plot was not as captivating as I hoped it would be. I sadly had to DNF because I was just not enjoying my self at all. I wanted to love this book, but I am sad to say I don't.

This is a great easy read. In a market full of high fantasy fae romance this was a nice change of pace. There were many interesting concepts that I only wish had been elaborated on a little further. I think my biggest issue was the repetitiveness, especially in the first half. It felt like Mira, our main character, could not stop telling us about an incident that we had already saw. We know what happened to her and we knew why she was a tooth fairy but she never missed a chance to tell us. Over all this book could have made more use out of showing and not telling. I was very seldom left to make my own conclusions. Our main character essentially told us how to feel and repeated facts ten times over like we weren’t expected to remember anything. It did make the pace a little slow at times. It was a pretty glaring problem BUT I still enjoyed the journey. I liked how Mira was so empathetic to the kids she saw and it was interesting to see how class bias effected the supernatural realm as well. It could have been handled with more tact, as there seemed to be quite a few moments of stereotyping.

I also enjoyed many of the side characters and our love interest in the sexy boogey man, I thought they were funny and if you don’t go into this book expecting it to be as serious as some of the other very big fantasy romance series out there I think you will enjoy it as much as I did. It feels like the equivalent of a cozy mystery in the world of thrillers. You go in to enjoy a slice of fantasy, a dash of spice and an interesting cast. I will probably read any further books in this series to see if perhaps this suffered from world building first book syndrome and just to have a nice break between serious, heavy books on my tbr list. A solid 3 out of 5 stars.

Being a huge fan of fairytale derived literature, I jumped on this book! I love the ideas behind everything in this sub-genre. How would fairy hierarchies work? How much of your traditional fairy tales are propaganda? What was Snow White REALLY like?

Questions like these are dealt with in the Wrath of the Tooth Fairy, where our Tooth Fairy in question is a former Fairy Godmother, demoted for getting romantically involved in with one of the Prince Charmings. Fabulously entertaining and fun. Unfortunately, the stereotypes promoted of the poorer people and immigrants in society are pretty terrible - how hard she has to work to 'cure' the poor children of lice, or bites, or heal them from bruises or scratches or call child services. Terrible stereotypes. I wish these had have been caught a modified/edited out - I understand the author trying to make her a sympathetic and caring character, as well as one of the incidents involving her boss needing the difference in wealth, but it was too much - the storyline was fun, but a lot of the anti-poor tropes should have been caught and culled in editing.

This was such a fun and entertaining story. I loved the different take on several fairytale characters like Snow White and Prince Charming.. Mira is a hilarious character that keeps the story entertaining, especially her banter with the bogey man. The pacing of the story was great. There was the perfect balance of action, romance, and comedy to keep me turning the pages. If you’re looking for a fun, light read I highly recommend trying this one.
