Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross
4.0

Mirabelle has always lived with her two godmothers. Although they have an endless list of rules that are meant to keep her safe, she knows that they love her. But what Mira really wants is see where she comes from, she knows her parents are gone but she's never even got to see where she was born. So before her sixteenth birthday she runs away to Beau Rivage where she was born to find her parents. But things in the town are not what they appear to be, there are curses and fairy tales and Mira herself is wrapped up in one. But when she falls for Felix she finds herself wrapped up in a whole other more dangerous tale.

If you're looking for a spin on fairytales with a bit of the darker edge this book is perfect for that. All the fairy tales being thrust upon at birth and the markings matching up to someone of a similar one rather than a single person does make this one different than others. I re-read it mostly for nostalgia and a curisotly on how it held up to passing of time.
