My review is for "Ella and the Alien Prince" by Margo Bond Collins

I haven't read any of the other books in the Alien Bride series and found the setup a bit rushed. "Earth under attack, surprising help from aliens, now let's go to the story..." It's a very short story, so this is only a minor complaint because in the end, everything important was mentioned. Same for the Characters. To be fair, I can't remember when I've last read a short story without knowing the characters from the main series before, so I might be picky here and expect too much of such a short story.
All that aside, I enjoyed the story and would have liked to read this in a more detailed, longer version But again, that's just me and the fact, that I did expect a full-length book. I'll definitely check the entire fairy-tale series, because I love re-tellings and now I'm prepared ;)

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
