And you thought the stepsisters were wicked….
I’m not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That’s what I WANT them to think. Because then they won’t suspect what I’m really up to.
The ball, the prince – it’s all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented … top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don’t know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself. They can’t see that my heart is black as midnight, rotten as a poisoned apple.
They’re about to find out.

Enjoyed the real life twist instead of the disneyesque “unicorns and rainbows” approach.
The story itself was really pretty good. I liked that she had to earn the magic. It was just hard for me to picture her like Cinderella.
So good, love how it turned out and the twist in the end to connect it to the next princess!!!
Glad Cinderella isn’t really do perfect…
this was a different outlook on this fairy tale. i found it interesting
Interesting spin on old characters. From a different view point than many. Dark in that it shows how abuse can change a historically/potentially good person bad.
Sequel should be interesting.
Next book is a sure seller
*****SPOILERS!!******
So everyone’s favorite characters are not as they seem as the first in the series we see Cinderella. And I loved how it made sense. She was only doing kind things so she could get magic. Yet all things come with a Price. When Prince Charming turns out to be an abusive bastard she turns into an evil witch Snow Whites stepmom actually.and even tho she was “evil” I still felt for her and her tragic ending.
Light and an interesting take
Easy to read in one sitting. This story brought a fairy tale back to real life. Some humor included. Enjoy.
A different twist on a fairy tale. Cinderella is not a goody-goody character, but reacts more like a real person might act in her situation. Will be watching for more by this author.
I love this book because it shows what will really happens in situations where someone who needs love is rejected. I’m not really a princes person but I can’t wait to read the next books.
I like how it gives the reader a lesson about how our feelings affect our lives.
Based in part of normal Cinderella story with a twist. A little too wordy for my type of reading though. Not believable I deleted it early on.
This book is a little different from what I’m used to reading. It frustrated me at times; but when I reached the end and saw where the author took the story, I really liked it.
Kind of stole a beat from the TV show Once Upon a Time
Great new take on Cinderella!
Takes almost everything from the original plot and twists it. Highy entertaining I plan to read them all
it was a nice surprising take on a very old talei
It was good and original. The one thing that I had issues with was the writing style and the formatting, and the reasons I had issues with it was because it wasn’t very…traditonal, but, I felt like it made the book what it is and made Cinderella seem more human.
This was a we approach for Cinderella! Quick read!
