Ain't No Fairytale

Welcome to Ain't No Fairytale with me Christina! Every Tuesday I bring you the nasty, the gruesome, the spooky, and the unsolved. The cases nobody wants to hear or things you probably didn’t need to know. I’m not the brightest crayon in the box and will mispronounce words like crazy, but I will always apologize. I’m a girl who loves her beer and wine. I guarantee I will be having one to get us through these cases. Grab a bite of the poison apple and stay alive! See you on Tuesdays.
