A few things readers should be aware of before they pick up the book: It makes me think a lot of Mating the Huntress by Talia Hibbert, which is a major compliment. It is definitely the most original use of the format I’ve seen since Fables. It uses a world built by fairy tales, but don’t expect adherence to canon. There were three fatalities.” If your sense of humour is mature and elegant, this will absolutely not work for you. It has spectacular sarcastic banter, a heroine that is both compassionate and a massive bitch (why are there not more bitchy heroines?), explosive fights and non stop, bone dry, foul mouthed, raunchy humour. To whit, some of the doctor’s notes, which precede every chapter: “Today in group, we tried a team building exercise. Shenanigans begin page 1 and do not cease for a moment. The pace of this book is completely outrageous. Go Tuesday Share Circle! Shenanigans ensue.
Her team? A Big Bad Wolf, a wicked witch, a bridge ogre, and an evil prince.
Maybe you can’t judge a book by its cover? Scarlett is planning on escaping the asylum and proving to everyone what a POS Cinderella actually is. Only it turns out Cinderella is a huge dick and that Scarlett and Drusilla aren’t what the stories about them say and there are other folks in the asylum that aren’t all that Bad either. Plot: In a kingdom far far away, Cinderella is about to marry her prince while her evil ugly stepsisters rot in an asylum for the Wicked, Ugly and Bad for their mistreatment of her. If you LOVE paranormal urban fantasy, the second book in the series will work better for you. Fluffy paranormal urban fantasy? If you like the ideas in paranormal urban fantasy stories but are frustrated by the iffy (if existing) consent and soap-level angst that stalls out the action for chapters at a time, this book is a gift to you.
