You all know the story of Cinderella, but did you ever wonder what happened after the fairytale ending? Well we know. Not all afters end up happily, sometimes the real adventure starts much later...
Halia’s nightmare has come true. Her best friend has been abducted. With the queen still missing, and Madam having all the tools in her hand to make her deadly move, everything is stacked against Halia.
Will she manage to warn the king in time? Will she rescue the queen and the other abductees? Or will she have to watch on helplessly as Arcadia falls in front of her eyes?
Born in Leeds, I lived a very normal life until I got bored one day and decided to travel the world. Since then I've worked on a Banana Plantation, cleaned ACDC's dressing room and been a professional clown. I climbed to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and the top of Kilimanjaro. Nowadays you'll find me being a climbing frame for my two young children, working in a school, and renovating my home. Did I also mention I wrote some books? I hope you enjoy them!

I was gifted this box set by the author as an ARC. This is a great story of family, friendship, love, mystery and suspense all wrapped in one! Two orphans are on their own once they reach the age of 18, and have to figure out how to make it on their own. While learning what being an adult is all about, they find their world is rapidly changing and not for the better! They must find a way to fix this, and along the way they find love, deceit, and MAGIC! I loved this box set! The first book I literally could not put down! It was pretty much the same with the next three books, because I was in suspense. I had to know what happened next! If you want to find out what happens AFTER Happily Ever After, I would definitely recommend giving this box set a try!
This was one of the best retellings of cinderella that I have ever read. Halia is an amazing character and she grew a lot during these four books. I hope she will find out everything she has to know and I can not wait to start in the next books of this series.
The mystery continues in Goddess of Harmony as to where the queen is and what is happening to all the people that are missing. Where are all the people? Now Halia’s best friend Tia is missing as well. Halia is still doing her best to find Tia, the queen and all the missing people. Her one best chance is still the singing competition and getting an audience in front of the king.
Goddess of Harmony kept me on my toes page after page guessing as to what has happened to all the missing people and to the reason they are missing. Once I learned the answers to all my questions I was surprised to say the least but on the other hand I thought I should have know that this one person was involved as it was sort of right under my nose the whole time. I don’t know how I could have missed it like that.
But there was one big surprise waiting for me at the end that I never could or would have guessed. Yeah Goddess of Harmony had a few surprises up its sleeve that I never saw coming. All the twists and turns and secrets kept me hanging on and guessing right up until the last page. I can’t wait to read more about all these wonderful characters and this world in future books.
I do highly recommend Goddess of Harmony to all fantasy fans. I would like to suggest that you one click yourself a copy today! I would also like to suggest that you pick up copies of the other three books in this Cinderella re-telling story and they are Queen of Song #1, Heiress of Harmony #2 and Throne of Symphony #3 so one click yourself those copies today to begin this enchanting journey.
The singing competition is coming to the big finale, and so are the plans of Madam and her accomplices - now is the time for Halia to act, to step into the role and claim her rightful place. Fear and magic cannot stop her voice and her determination, her desire to protect her country and newfound family. Yet the evil does not want to give up easily.. This was a truly epic conclusion to the miniseries, full of action, passion, romance, and intrigues. It was nice to see Halia become the strong woman she was always at heart, and find her side by side with those she loves. The only disappointment for me is that Victor did not get any conclusion and it is only left to speculate if he's to play any role in the future or if he was simply forgotten, and the ending (related to the general arc of the ultimate quest across all series) was very rushed, wrapped in barely a few sentences. Other than that, a great book, and a great closing of another awesome mniseries.
The finale of the Cinderella series is here. Halia's best friend is missing, along with the queen and many others. She still has to make an appearance at the singing competition if she wants to have a chance to talk to the king. She overcomes the obstacles thrown at her to remain in the running, but she is desperate to find Tia. Following the sisters will pay off, but Halia has to trick Mikka and defy Lorenzo to save Tia. Now the finals for the competition have arrived and Halia will have to play big or go home. Can she save the queen and the kingdom from Madame's wrath?
I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.
Halia is joined by all of her friends again. She is still in the running for the win in her singing competition. The ugly sisters are still trying to get her eliminated from the competition using anything they can to thwart her progress. Ella is still missing and beings are being kidnapped for evil purposes. I found frustration, evil, jealousy, hope, love and concern still keeping me reading through to the end. This book gives us the answers we were waiting for but it leaves the ending wanting to know what happens next. I have loved reading this series and I am sad that this is the last I feel we will hear about Halia. I loved this book and I recommend this story.
This book did an excellent job of bringing together all the threads left dangling in this series as well as pulling in a few threads from previous stories in the Kingdom of Fairytales. That made for a very faced-paced, action-filled book that is very hard to put down. The romance really heated up too - got downright steamy in parts (but stayed PG/fade to black).
There were a few parts that seemed rushed or a bit too easy but plenty of good twists and complications as well. As with previous arcs, the immediate threat was contained, but the bigger problem is still to be conquered. And another golden eyed teen is off to join the team.
In this final installment everything is coming to a head. Halia has always wanted a family, loved ones, a real home and with Arcadia falling apart this competition is her last chance to achieve her dreams. Saving the queen, Arcadia and claiming her birth right is within her grasp if only she can stop Madam, her daughters, and the leader. However, some endings are just the beginning and with this bittersweet conclusion it is something you do not want to miss. Get this book you won’t regret it. I received a free advanced copy and enjoyed every minute.
Goddess of Harmony is the final book in the Cinderella arc by J.A. Armitage and Margo Ryerkerk.
Halia's best friend Tia have been kidnapped by Madam and this one is closer to have all that she wants to take over Arcadia. And the Queen is still missing.
Halia's need to find a way to warn the King, the best way to see him is still to continue the singning competition.
I really love the conclusion of this serie and can't wait to read more in the Kingdom of Fairytales. I have received an arc of this book from the authors.

This short book is a great completion to the series. I love Halia. She is smart, crafty, brave, creative, loyal, protective, determined and a bit reckless. Halia needs to rescue Tia and the queen, outsmart Madam Fountaine, sing in the competition and stay alive. She is used to be underestimated and Madam Fountaine is confident in her plan. Who will be the victor? This book has action, danger, mystery, a contest, royalty, magic, suspense, fae, demons, deception, treason, romance and more!
This is the last book in the series of the retelling of the fairytale Cinderella and it was what! Halia has her friends there to help her but some are still missing. She has to still sing and win the competition so that she can see the King. But her stepsisters are there still causing trouble. This is the last book so we do get answers to our questions but now leaves us wondering what comes now? I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
This is a wonderful addition to this amazing series! Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start. Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believeable. Greatdrama and romance with wonderful world building that adds so much to the story. Such a thrilling read that I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read what come out next! Recommend reading.

Halia's story is one of strength, selflessness, hope and just incredible perseverance! Such a fabulous character and one that would be the best role model in real life. I enjoyed this book so much and the storyline is amazing. I would recommend every book in this entire series to anyone I know. So amazing!
As always the retelling of the fairytale was on that was difficult to put down everyday. Once you start reading each segment it is hard to stop. If you like mystery and romance you have a difficult time of putting it down. I can't wait to read the next one in this series.
Things have gotten even worse for Halia and her friends. More people have been abducted and Halia is on a mission to save them all. The story was a quick fun read with action, mystery and suspense all rolled into one good story. I was glued to the end. I love this series and its different take on a simple fairy tale.
This is absolutely my favorite so far of the whole series. Halia was able to fulfill her role and now continue on with the others. This story arc was brought to a happy conclusion, which is satisfying. We also learn more as to who is behind the evil, not a great surprise!
The competition is drawing to an end, less than fewer contestants remain. And with each new challenge it becomes more apparent that the Fontaine sisters have an unlimited access to fae magic.
Halia, Lorenzo and Mikka set a trap for the Fontaine sisters and manage to find most of the missing people, all but the queen and Tia...
This is book 4 of the Kingdom of Fairytales Cinderella series. I love this series. I love the characters and the storyline. Both are well written and the story keeps you pulled in from the very start. I would recommend this series.

This finale was superb! I love that it was a happily ever after but also seems to lead into the next season of these fairytale books. I can't wait to read more and I plan on going to the beginning of all the series!
I love Cinderella retellings and this one is great. As we come to the conclusion there are some great twists, some answers, and still some unanswered questions as we get ready to follow along to the next set in the series.
The ongoing mystery surrounding the main character propelled this story. I liked the characters and how she strived to help those while still staying true to herself. The authors created a wonderfully crafted story that has been a joy to read.
This was a great end to Halia's story, I really enjoyed reading this book and loved going on this journey. The writing was great and I really loved Halia as a character.

If I had started on this part of the series, I would have gone no further. There is a reason I don't read demon/human romance novels, and these 4 books reminded me of why. Where at first each series was better than the last, they are now getting worse with each book.
The ending to this season made me both sad and happy! If you have been following Halia’s story you must see on the season ends! I can’t wait to see what happens at the end of the year!!
