With the final piece of the weapon lost to her, Cin’s only hope of reclaiming it is by keeping her promise to the sea witch. But, will the cost be too high of a price for her to pay? As Cin attempts to forge a friendship with Ondine’s son, the stakes for not only Briardale but also herself have never been higher. The whole city is depending on her to make the right decision, but can she do what’s … what’s needed without breaking Coltan’s heart in the process?
The new world awaits the citizens of Briardale, but there’s still one obstacle Cin must overcome before it can be released from the curse: the angel of death. By defeating Suri, Cin can finally free the people of Briardale and end Suri’s threat to humanity once and for all.

A fantastic conclusion to a wonderful spin on our classic fairy tales! This book hooked me from start to finish! The author did superb job in spinning the classic fairy tales into new and exciting images. Many twists and turns kept me guessing as to what will happen next, right to the end!
I really hope she is finished with this new world she created.
What a wonderful finish to this series. Having to find all the pieces to create a special weapon to save everyone/ everything around them. The characters are well formed and you really care about what happens to them in this unpredictable series.
Such a wonderful spin on this fairytale S.J. West has done such a wonderful job with this series. Cin has grown so much she has two men trying to compete for her heart so Rum thanks but honestly Coltan already has it . Cin and Coltan have the best chemistry is that is so magical it will make any girl fantasize LOL. On Cin Journey to defeat her mom there ends up being the best twists I it I won’t give it away for anyone it was so sad to see the Series end but thank you for an amazing adventure!
What a way to end an amazing series!! I’m so sad that this is the end. I loved seeing how much these characters have grown!
Great ending to this story! Cin learns alot in this book. Rum is a sweet guy but clueless at times. This story makes you mad and sad. Ending came quickly for Suri and Cin but glad it turned out the way it did.
This is the 4th and last book in this series…..
What a great ending to a different take on our classic fairy tale characters….
I love how Cin grew into the person she was always meant to be.
The ending is bittersweet, because I’d LOVE it to continue….
However, SJ West does tend to write spin-off’s…. PLEASE?????
A perfect conclusion to a great and original series. I laughed, I cried, and I got mad. Isn’t that what a great book does, takes you through a gambit of emotions? I know it’s over but I kind of hope we get a spin-off. I’d love to see how they’re lives have changed and what happens with the other characters.
The fourth and final book in the Cin d’rella series was an intense one. The battle for saving her home from her mother’s evil plans mirrored the twisted plan that the Sea witch laid out for Cin. The themes of sacrifice and bravery were evident throughout the story. I love that the character of Rum was developed and I enjoyed the twist he brought to the series. This book brought me tears of joy and sadness. I hope SJ West continues to develop this world she created, as I really enjoyed learning about Cin and friends.
Why does this have to be the end of this story? I have seriously enjoyed the journey with Cin and her gang. This final book in the series answers so many questions that I had. I love how everything came full circle in the end. Of course I laughed, cried and smiled all the way through this book. I knew there were bound to be some big things to happen seeing as this was the end of the series and I was not disappointed. I am happy with the way things ended. I feel like we got the full story West wanted to tell. This has been by far my favorite retelling of fairy tales.
I absolutely loved this series and am sorry to see it end. She turned the princesses we grew up with from someone who was just supposed to marry a prince into honest, brave young women who have to make some very tough choices to save their world. Cin does get a very romantic story line with Colton which is sigh worthy but it’s not the main story line but very much a part of the book. There’s adventure and laughs and tears in the pages in this last book to keep you turning the page!
I can’t believe this is the last book in the series. I’m going to miss all these amazing characters. The last book is a tear jerker but also happy. Cin and her sisters are amazing. Prince tingles is a better man than most. Pick up the first book. You will be on an emotional roller coaster ride of your life and you will be begging for more.
Such a wonderful conclusion to the series. It is not a safe ending tho. There is a lot of unexpected sadness. I cried the last few chapters a lot. Some were tears of joy so dont worry lol. I’m sad to see this series end. I think it would make a epic TV series. It is bitter sweet watching/reading Cin grow into the most amazing woman. Like I’m proud of her. And this has got to be hands down one of my top three couples ever! Cin and Coltens love is one to rival that of Romeo and Juliet. I know it seems like im talking about real people but the author has a gift for making these characters so realistic. Hoping for more from the series. Maybe even some shorts or a spin off…or two. So many good characters with great possibilities.
I can’t believe it is the end of this series! I loved Cin, Coltan & the gang. This brought so much more than expected. I fell in love with all of them. If you are looking for a YA Fairytale twist with lots of action, get this series today!
This is the final book in the Cin D’Rella series and the ending was perfect. The story continues where book three left off Cin still needs one final piece of the weapon to stop Suri from destroying Briardale. With Suri closing in and regaining her power they are running out of time. This series is full of adventure, twists and turns, is fast paced and action packed. I cannot say enough about this writer and I highly recommend her books.
S.J’s twist to our classic fairy tale definitely didn’t disappoint! And what an amazing ending it was!
The final journey of Cin in order to save Briardale is full of danger, adventure, twists and turns, there’s plenty of humor and romance. The characters… so well written, the chemistry and interaction between them all seems so real. S.J’s has a fantastic way to draw you into this world where it seems like you are there watching it from the sidelines and not out of a book! This unique telling of one of our favorite fairy tale is definitely a must read! I’m sorry to see it end, but the ride was fabulous! A job well done and I can’t wait to see what else S.J. West brings!
The last book in this series is edge of your seat exciting! The story never stops moving and my heart pounded. There were times I wanted to put down the book because I didn’t like where it was going – but of course that is not possible! There are some events that saddened me greatly – but in true form, our author wrote an exquisite retelling of my childhood fairy tales. The stories behind Ms. West’s fairy princesses is very moving. She definitely thought outside the box.
I’m very sad to see this series end. It was the best retelling of a fairy tale I’ve read. Beyond all doubt, this book kept my attention.
Thank you S.j.west for taking us on an amazing journey though the original fairy tailed such as Sleeping beauty, snow White, and Cinderella.
I hate it’s the last book of the series. There’s still so many adventures left. Hopefully, one day there will be more to come. Love these characters and the story.
What an amazing conclusion to another fantastic series! Cin is facing her final missions to free Briardale, and has to make some hard choices.
This was such a great take on twisted fairy tales! I love the “girl power” aspect of the thorns protecting Briar Rose, vs. the typical prince saving the day.
I’ve tried to write fifteen different things without including a spoiler…I keep having to delete and start over! I’ll just leave it here…DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. SERIES!!
I absolutely love this book and all the others! I love Cin and her squad of friends/Thorns and I love Coltan! I however was not prepared for the tears both happy and sad! I really wish that there were more of these books! Briar Rose, Snow White and Rapunzel are frickin awesome too! S.J. West did an AMAZING job with these fairytale twist books! These are a must read set! So go ahead and one-click these books today! Great job Sj west! I also wasn’t expecting Rumplestiltskin to be in this book but it all turned out Absolutely Amazing!
