This book is a Cinderella retelling. I've never read the original book but I have watched the movie several times. Because this is a retelling it was somewhat predictable but at the same time I was still drawn in and wanting to find out how things played out.

This book was fast paced and to me a lot darker than the original Cinderella fairytale which I actually really loved. There was so much more going on then just the typical Cinderella story.

Some of you know that I have a love hate relationship with cliffhangers. If there's a cliffhanger at the end of the chapter I am all for that because it makes me want to keep reading the book however when they are at the end of the book that's when things get iffy for me.

If the book ends with a cliffhanger I like for everything in that book to be wrapped up. I'm ok if it's the type of cliffhanger that sets up for the next book but I still don't want to be left with so many questions about the current book.

Unfortunately this book leaves off on a cliffhanger that I am not fond of. I don't know how things turned out for some characters and it drives me crazy.

All of that being said I will be continuing on with the series and I really hope that some of my questions will be answered.
