Description: The fanged fairy of Emily Corwin's collection asserts and sings with short rhymes and glitter-spells, and just as you've followed her into the darkest part of the woods, you're asked to "run away together/and promise to never/do this heart-skipping thing / with anyone else." Don't be surprised when you find yourself answering yes, yes, yes.
