Sinful Cinderella

Dark Fairy Tale Queen, Book 1

De: Anita Valle

Narrado por: Caitlin Kelly

I'm not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That's what I want them to think. Because then they won't suspect what I'm really up to.

The ball, the prince - it's all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don't know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself. They can't see that my heart is black as midnight, rotten as a poisoned apple.

They're about to find out.

Interesting Twist on a Classic

Sinful Cinderella is quite a departure from the original story that is so known and loved. While the story was good and the characters were well-developed, I found myself having a hard time with the darkness in both Cinderella and the Prince. It wasn't particularly because of the moral issue at hand (especially the prince) but more because it was so disappointing that those characters had evil traits! I found Cinderella to be far too vain and narcissistic and the Prince was just unlikeable from his first word to her. I'm anxious to see where the author goes with the next book.

Twisted!

So it was obvious that this novella would put a spin on the traditional story. I was expecting it to simply make everything happen the opposite way of the original story. However, Anita Valle makes the characters fluctuate between good and bad decisions. It's not until the very end that you realize the twist hasn't truly been revealed.

I think this was a cute story. I'd recommend it if you're between books and need a quickie to keep you going.

Short but good

Surprisingly short and dark but I loved it! More of a brothers grim version a little more realish. I enjoyed it and plan to listen to the next one right away!

A Good Listen!

I listened to it in one sitting. It was surprisingly good! I would recommend it.

Playful Twist on an old Classic

This was great for a short trip as it was a quick story and it was a great twist on an old classic. Audible 20 Review Sweepstakes Entry

Amazing!

Amazing! Really well written! If you love fairy tales you’ll love this! And the voice acting is fantastic!

Different take on the book from my childhood.

I enjoyed the book which was very different than the one my Grandma read tp me. everyone has a dark side and “Cinderella did what she did to get some revenge and good for her” I would have done worse. Not just sinful but EVIL.

Nice twist and a great tie in

I bought this first book on sale. It's pretty short so I would be disappointed had I spent the full price audible credit. That being said, I really enjoyed the story line and the tie in to what I can only assume are the other books in the series. I really enjoyed the narrator for this audible book as well.

Fun Short Listen

This was definitely a dark Cinderella story. LOL it was fun a listen though.

Can't really say much about it or there will be spoilers, but everybody knows the Cinderella story this is just a darker different version.

As for the narration it was very good. My first time listening to this narrator and she was perfect for this book. She did a good job on all the different voices.

So So

Kinda short for my taste but it was a gud story nonetheless. Also predictable... Hope it has another book
