Summary
A
Cinderella who spends her nights as a wolf. A prince with a taste for blood.
Seventeen
year old Cydney struggles against her werewolf nature, trying to keep everyone
around her safe. No way will she risk exposing the beast at the prince’s ball,
no matter how her two cousins try to persuade her. As she attempts to carve out
some semblance of a life, Cydney can’t forget the boy she loved three summers
ago — or what she did to him after losing control.
Turned into
a vampire to save his life, the prince refuses to live up to his royal duties.
He just wants to find the girl he loved and lost...the werewolf girl who bit
him. But his father, the king, commands him to attend a ball where he must
choose a wife. Can he find his Cinderella before he's forced to marry another?
He doesn’t even have her real name, much less a glass slipper.

Review
It’s short
stories like this one right here that just makes me wish that it were longer. I
was saddened by how fast I polished off this quick read because of how much I
enjoyed reading about Cydney and Remy. They were just too cute.
I think
short stories are far more difficult to write than the average length books
because there is only some much time for the author to squeeze in the
introduction of the characters, set up the plot line, and wrap up all the loose
ends. Now, if the book is a bit lengthier then the author has enough leisure
the do it with enough time. Short stories are to the point, and they can’t lose
you attention for a minute. Personally, I think that this particular short
story was very well proportioned. Proportion in the way that the intro didn’t
take too much time or the climax was too short. It all fit. The plot itself was
unique, I thought. The country that they live in is the only one to harbor and
protect the super naturals. I loved how it seemed like that average thing, no
big deal. Remy and Cydney were the perfect combo of attitude and love and
sarcasm and all the rest befitted as roles of main characters. I thought it was
great altogether. From 1-10? It’s a definite 8.
