Cinderella with a twist or two
I thought I knew what I was getting into with this book - girl named Ella with a widowed father? Cue the pumpkin! But from the beginning, it is clear there are a few twists. First of all, they are werewolves. Second, Ella isn’t alone - she has a brother, and neighbours next door who care about her, and that’s just the start of things! There were enough little changes that I honestly didn’t know how the story would end. You would think this was worrying, but I trusted the author to get us to a happy ending as I was not disappointed.
I would’ve liked a little more about the werewolf side of things, perhaps an ending that wasn’t so pat given the twists to get there, but that may have spoiled the clean lines of a charming little tale.
If you want a fairytale retelling that is a little different but still has that dreamy fairytale quality, give this book a go
Four and a half moonlit stars
I received a copy of this story from the author through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
