Stalking Cinderella is a dark, sexy and fun retelling of the classic fairytale. I love the vicious wonders series, how the leading lady isn't just saved but grows in her own power with the help of her supportive yet naughty male counterparts. Turning the fairy godmother into a demon offering a Faustian bargain, and the prince into an adoring but dark alternative was so good. There's even a sprinkling of bully to lover in this, which usually isn't my jam, but it was written so well I loved every bit of it.
Definitely check out the trigger warnings before reading.

My Spice Rating - 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Spice ratings -
1 🌶️- May include hands, more kissing, "fade to black" scenes. No open door spice.
2 🌶️🌶️ - Spice happens, but it isn't often. May include open door scenes but they're infrequent or rare.
3 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Spice happens more often and it is more detailed, Spice is part of the plot, or the book is 50/50 spice to plot.
4 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ - More spice than plot, may contain kinky themes.
5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Absolute smut. Very little plot, sex heavy. The spicy scenes are very explicit, may contain triggering or dangerous themes, Dark romances and erotica.
