This is the second book in the Victorian Fairy Tale Retelling series and although I am sure you can pick up and read it and be fine I found that by reading the first one I recognized the characters and knew where the storyline was going. They do correlate with each other and it's almost continuing where the first one left off although this is uniquely its own. I'm not going to tell you too much so I don't ruin it for you but trust me when I say that you will definitely enjoy it. It has a good amount of intrigue and mystery that keeps you reading. I kept trying to put the pieces to the puzzle together but to no avail.

The characters were great and you will definitely be enthralled with them. Ada is a lovely character and you feel bad for her as her brother just intimidates and treats her like she is meaningless. You will fall in love with the Duke of Girard!! He is a really good hero in this story. I will say there could have been a bit more romance between them. Don't get me wrong there was but it could've been a bit more prominent.

This definitely was not your typical Cinderella retelling. If you enjoy Victorian era stories, you will definitely enjoy this one.

I received a copy of this book through Prism Tours. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
