I just love fairy tales. And in this book you have everything you need for a good story. Princesses, a charming prince, magic, a step mother, the sea, and Gods. And it all is wrapped up in curses, murders, and twists, that keep you on the edge until the end. Oh, we shouldn't forget the romance that might lead every fairy tale to a happy ending...

Excellent, beautifully detailed story told with good pace and drama. I had to stop listening at work because I was paying more attention to the story than my job. Fantastic book!

This was the best read I’ve had this month. The starting was slow paced. But as the story matured, I was at the edge of my seat. I loved how Macabre the whole theme is, how twisted the tale became as the mystery unfolds. Overall a great story. Love love it.

Absolutely loved this book. So many twists and turns, this book will keep you on your toes. The narrator is also phenomenal. Can’t wait for book 2!

Loved this!

More romanticized and fairytalish than it is gothic. It’s OK, but the writing seems more wired for starry-eyed teen and YA readers. It’s not the kind rich prose and well-rounded novel that a discerning bibliophile would enjoy.

I think I would have enjoyed the book more with a different narrator.

I loved it so much. It pulled me in from the start.

Great premise, sadly lacking in delivery. It was just an ok read.

This book was thoroughly entertaining, i feel like the conclusion came on very quickly, but overall I really enjoyed it.

I altogether enjoyed the book though, it was a little unnecessarily wordy at times. It seemed like the author dragged out descriptive details when it wasn’t necessary. But what I really liked was the narrator! She did an amazing job!

Fun book to read , it had everything!
