The Charming series, written under the Kristine Grayson pen name, puts a modern spin on fairy tale romance. The books feature characters drawn from classic stories, living in the present day with all their magical abilities intact. The Charming Way kicked off the series in 2010, and the most recent entry, Charming The Devil, appeared in 2023.

Each book stands on its own while sharing the same magical world. The tone is lighter than Rusch’s science fiction or epic fantasy work, leaning into romantic comedy with supernatural twists. Readers who enjoy fairy tale retellings with a sense of humor will find these entertaining.
