ELIZABETH BLACK (Twisted Fairy Tale)  
Red climbed through the bramble, cutting her legs on thorns. She hated going to her grandmother's house. The old woman smelled of mothballs and served gruel for breakfast. She kept her teeth in a jar next to the sugar. Disgusting. 
KALLYSTEN (Paranormal romance)
