Thank you so much to Nerd Fam and Amy Patrick for access to this ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

Once I started the book and got into it, I got sucked in. It’s a Cinderella, The Selection, mixed with magic and two hot brothers. 

I will be reading book 2 because I got this ARC. I’m not sure I would’ve picked up this book if it was not for Nerd Fam. 

Things I docked points for:
- The ending wasn’t as shocking or cliff hanging as I would’ve expected. I also think the boys could have more development as characters. 
- I wish when we were in Stellon’s POV developed him as a very desirable MMC. I do think the bones are there. I’m more interested in his brother hahah. 
- insta-love trope 

Things I liked 
- the miscommunication or secrets weren’t a main driver of conflict which a lot of these books do.
- a villain to hate and a FMC to cheer on. 
- I actually appreciated the plot moved quickly and got to the point. 

Overall, I highly recommend giving this book a try!
