Hazel’s father falls ill, leaving her at the mercy of her step-mother and step-brothers. Desperate to save her father, she makes a deal - exchanging her father’s life for her own.
It’s like a dark Cinderella meets Beauty and the Beast. It has horrible characters you love to hate and a strong feeling of sympathy for Hazel as she navigates her wicked step-mother’s abuse, while pleading to save her father’s life.
I know this book is not for everyone, and perhaps you’d even give it a lower rating. But I absolutely loved this story and its progression.
Solid 5 stars from me!
