Publisher's Summary
A deliciously gothic story of wishes and curses - a new dark fairy tale set against a Victorian backdrop full of lace and smoke.
Once upon a time, Ella had wished for more than her life as a lowly maid.
Now forced to work hard under the unforgiving, lecherous gaze of the man she once called stepfather, Ella’s only refuge is in the books she reads by candlelight, secreted away in the library she isn’t permitted to enter.
One night, among her beloved books of far-off lands, Ella’s wishes are answered. At the stroke of midnight, a fairy godmother makes her an offer that will change her life: seven wishes, hers to make as she pleases. But each wish comes at a price, and Ella must to decide whether it’s one she’s willing to pay....
A smouldering, terrifying new spin on Cinderella - perfect for fans of Laura Purcell and Erin Morgenstern.

Enjoyable read
The core idea is very good. Sometimes I lost patience because things seemed way too slow. Nonetheless, the overall idea worked very well.

I have very mixed feelings
This book began slowly and it took a bit for me to become interested in the story. It also felt slow and repetitive. I don't know why the author felt it necessary to make the same point over and over again. My main issue with the book was that I could see where it was going and it felt anticlimactic. It was a good premise and it could have been a really good book. For me it was just o.k..

Terrible
This story drags on and on and then comes to the climax and ends. Leaves you feeling like you wasted your time.

Very slow plot-wise
The premise was very interesting, but I felt like there was a lot of unnecessary filler that slowed the pace of the book. I was bored.

Great read!
If you are looking for something unlike the typical fairy tale, this is it! well written and narrated, with an ending that, to me, was quite fitting. I won't spoil it, but this is a DARK fairy tale, after all!
