I didn't know much about this one going in, which is how I like it. I think it took some crazy turns I did not expect and I couldn't put it down all day. I am intrigued to read more from this author.

This was a surprise 5 star for me. I went into it without hearing much about it and was expecting just a silly little YA romp. I was so so so wrong. I couldn't recommend this book enough, just perfect.

Did you grow up with the classic piece of cinema, Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses? (i.e. did you have taste?) Then this is the book for you. I kept picturing the characters as the characters from the Barbie movie so that was the only distracting part...

Wow this was really good. Wish the darker tone was present more  and that the story went for being more of a retelling but yea wow

I bought this book based on the cover alone and I’m glad I did. The book started a little slow, but picks up and just speeds you right into the ending. I read for pure enjoyment and I purely enjoyed this one.

I really enjoyed this book, as I tend to enjoy books that play with reality and leave you questioning what is real and has actually happened and what was not. It definitely went in a direction that I did not expect. The creepy vibes throughout it were just enough to make it interesting without making it scary. It was a little slow in the beginning, but that didn't bother me because I ended up staying up really late to read the entire second half of the book because I had to find out what happened. I absolutely loved the main romance between Annaleigh and Cassius. I did have trouble keeping the sisters straight at the beginning, but the further I read the easier it became to remember the names and ages. The writing was what really fell short for me. It was nothing spectacular, with multiple moments that I noted while reading that were just not good. For the most part, though, it did not take away from the story and reading experience, although had it been better it could have added to it.
