I have totally fallen in love with Teeny Weeny Tahini. The little faerie has been a part of a few previous Havenwood Falls stories, and she’s always been so much fun. I was really excited to see her featured more in one of the stories.

However, the book didn’t grab me right away. While I loved to see Tahini flit about, it seemed like it wasn’t really going anywhere. It was super light and not the usual feel I’ve come to expect from a Havenwood Falls book. But then….

Well, then it all got a bit dark when we start to figure out who Shayin Pisik is and what she’s up to. Shayin and Matt (the owl-shifter) have clashed in the past, and it’s coming back to haunt him and his family. Shayin will do anything to get who she considers the love of her life back, even the darkest of dark magic. <shiver>

I don’t know that I would have recognized this as a fairy tale retelling if I hadn’t been told it was. I hope we get to see more of Tahini in future books, she really steals the show!

Teeny Weeny Tahini lives a simple life in Havenwood Falls. Using her faerie magic, she serves up psychic readings and healing potions in her town square salon. In her free time, she collects herbs in the woods while keeping her tiny forest friends out of trouble. But trouble is exactly what the seven wee folk find when they come upon a maimed snow-white owl . . . and a mummified body nearby. 

As Teeny doctors the owl, she’s shocked to discover the fowl-shifter is her nephew Mathew, whom she hasn’t seen in ages. He’s been on the run for years, searching for sanctuary. How he became injured, though, remains a mystery—even to him. 

For two decades, Shayin Pisik has been hunting the one thing she needs to be reunited with her betrothed. Her enchanted locket guides her to Havenwood Falls, warning that she must complete the ceremony started years ago under this week’s Blood Moon, or she will forever be alone. 

A disappearing body, another attempt on Mat’s life, and suspicious stinky strangers lead Teeny to uncover the clever plans of a lovesick heart. But the winged must take on the wicked for true love to reign in this Teeny Weeny faerie tale, a quirky reimagining of Snow White. â€‹
