So Intriguing!!!
This story was so intriguing it had me reading from beginning to the end. The cast of characters keeps you interested to continue reading to see what will happen next. The growth of Katania throughout was so fulfilling to see given everything she has gone through. When Valentin enters the picture it just keeps getting more fascinating. This truly is a interesting twist on Cinderella. I'm very much looking forward to book 2 given the events that occurred near the end. Please don't leave us in suspense to long. Highly recommend this book, you will not be disappointed!!!
