**This book was provided by the author to Nerd Girl in exchange for an honest review**

An intriguing, exhilarating dark ride. Liz takes you on one very sinful dark fairytale type adventure. A twisted and sinful version of fairy tales gone dark side. She incorporates beautifully the reality of everyday hardships, trials and tribulations into an adult version of a fairytale.

I love the unique writing style she has. She captures your attention and hold it. The characters are extremely well written and easily related able. The plots were entertaining and captivating. You got my attention and I couldn't put the book down! I would highly recommend this book! Can't wait to read more by this author.
