About this ebook

Cinderella retold: Fae, vampires, shifters, and a Godmother who’ll grant you any wish—if you pay the price.

For human slave Elle, it’s just another night of breaking her stepmother’s rules and sneaking out. Another night of using her unique skills for clients who want to ... forget.

Get the job done. Get paid. Move one step closer to legitimately buying a wish.

But when Elle runs face-first into a charming and handsome faerie—and then ends up in the clutches of a vampire—her usual fly-under-the-radar plans are knocked off course.

In a world of fae, vampires and shifters, where wishes can be bought and bargained for, Elle is human, bound to her stepmother by a slave charm. Her only hope at freedom is to wish for it. But the Godmother rules the illegal wish trade, and the price she demands is steep. Is Elle willing to pay it?

Mediocre I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for a review, and to be perfectly honest I've still dreaded posting this. all due respect to the author.. as a writer myself, I know how challenging it can be to so much as get through and get it all on the page. But As a reader, I felt this world was incredibly flat. world building and descriptions were mediocre. don't get me wrong, this is an incredible idea. I've never seen a high fantasy twist on Cinderella quite like this. with another round of rewrites, this book could have been legendary in the fairytale re-telling genre. I will be reading the rest of the series and much love to the author! 5/10

I was excited about the blurb, but I'm not as much of a paranormal reader as a fantasy. Any doubts were quickly erased though as I was captivated by the story, and quickly found myself wanting to know more about the characters and their lives! I really loved Dex and his friends, and enjoy Elle's fascination and reluctance around them. I also enjoyed Elle's relationship with Sienna her step-sister. I really enjoyed the writing and world-building, and am excited to read more, especially after that ending leaves the next one wide open! I'm enjoying the magic system so far, and hope it's explained more as the series continues. I also like that the retelling includes fae, vampires, and shifters, and I'm curious to see how the shifters fit into the story, and to learn more about the different sides and the Alliance's true aim!
