Resumen del Editor

This was supposed to be her happily ever after....

It's a familiar tale: A kind and beautiful young girl, reeling from loss. A doting father, frantic to bring a mother's love back into his daughter's life. And the selfish, cruel woman who insinuates herself into that family - a woman so unfeeling, so cold hearted, that when her new husband dies, she makes the girl a servant in her own home. But who is that evil stepmother, that icy lady of the house? How did she become so closed off that, in the face of a child's grief, she thought only to seek wealth and power for herself and her abhorrent daughters?

Before that fateful ball, before the glass slipper and the prince, there was another story - a story of love and grief, of hope and of dreams dashed. It is the story of Lady Tremaine. Even the coldest of villains are sometimes wives and mothers, women who loved and lost and hoped for something grander for their lives...once upon a dream. The latest novel in Serena Valentino's deliciously devious Villains series introduces the most famed and hated wicked stepmother of them all - but turns everything you know about her on its head.

The story was wonderful

But I still preferred Lucy Rayner to read the book
But never the less Billie brown did a good job
I just prefer Lucy Rainer to do the books she bring the story to life

amazing story

I never thought I could feel bad for Lady Tremaine. But I felt for her so much.
This also made me realize, I would definitely be a villain. If I went through any of what this poor woman went through, I would be one Hades of a villain
Must Read.
Serena Valentino did it again.

another great book

I loved it.
I didn't agree with the end, I felt bad for Lady tremaine because she actually didn't deserve her fate, she tried really hard...
she was drove into being Cold Hearted.

Great character development

This is a great story showing how the step mother in Cinderella got to be so cruel. I enjoyed the narrative as well.

Great book

Loved the book. A lot of twist and turns in the book. I just wish the ending was different but glad it was truly a happily ever after ending.

Oh! The injustice!

Holy. Cow!!! I never thought I would totally “get” where the evil step mother was coming from, but after this retelling, I do! This was another installment of the wonderful villain series, and well worth the read/listen.

Mediocre

It’s not my favorite in the series. I will say this narrator’s voice is much better than the that if the first few books as it’s less screechy. I did like the hints at the Hook book though. Doubt I’ll listen again.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book, but it only kind of intertwines with the rest of the series. The narrator does take some getting used to if you've listened to the first 6 stories with Lucy Rayner, but Billie Brown does well. I liked the ending, but have mixed feelings about Lady T's outcome. Definitely a good read/listen!

Amazing

I absolutely love all of these books! This series is the best. It allows you to understand how all these characters became what we know as “Villains”. I need more. Never Never here I come.

Epic

This series just keeps getting better and better. I was never a Cinderella fan but this made me think on the story.
