Cinderella retelling, but make it horror-obsessed. This book is WILD; it started with a bang and kept my attention the entire time. I devoured this book in one day. There are always two sides to a story. This dark and twisted reimagining of Cinderella is told from her stepsister's POV. Eunice lives her life by three simple rules: One, always refer to Cinderella as family. Two, never let Cinderella gain access to rats or mice. Three, never look upon Cinderella between the hours of twelve and three a.m. Cinderella has dark and terrifying powers. As her stepsister, Eunice is expected to care for her and keep the family's secret. For years, Eunice has faithfully done so. Cinderella is truly UNHINGED in this story and a very unlikeable character, but she was also highly intriguing.
The audiobook is great; the narrator did a great job. She was easy to listen to and kept me entertained throughout the story.
