About this listen

When your fairy godmother threatens to enslave you with a curse - when a malevolent piper solves your rat problem but steals your children - when you seek revenge on the prince who turned you into a frog - who can you turn to in your hour of need? The band of scoundrels known far and wide as the Bastard Champions - the swashbuckling trio who travel a world of legend, seeking adventure and righting wrongs - as long as there's enough gold to be earned. They are Jack, the seemingly unkillable leader whose ever-present grin belies a dark past; Marie, who fights with fury but battles more fiercely to control the beast within; and Frank, the master of logistics, whose cloak hides horrific scars that are far more than skin-deep. As they slash and scheme through kingdom and village alike, the Bastard Champions uncover tantalizing clues to their ultimate quarry: the powerful Blue Fairy, who has made each of their lives a living hell.

Second Hand Curses adds a dash of sly wit and a heaping portion of action to the fairy tales you thought you knew.

Interesting story line, Drew Hayes delivers again. The performances are very well done and distinct, I heartily recommend this book, it’s subtle comedy and solid flow leaves you smiling throughout.

I simply loved this book. The concept and characters draw you in. Lots of dark humour and enough pathos to really want the three main characters to win and I am left wondering what will happen to them next.

I was pleasantly surprised at how very much I enjoyed these tales. Three companions facing danger and impossible deeds for gold. They each have an interesting backstory and burdens which have moulded them. In dealing with the worst evils they are fearless and brutal but in contrast they have morals and conscience. On one level are light hearted tales of magic and fairytales but it is also written as a modern day thriller.

A unique twist on fairytails
