Sinful Cinderella (Dark Fairy Tale Queens Series)

Sinful Cinderella (Dark Fairy Tale Queens Series)

And you thought the stepsisters were wicked.... 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.

I hope you enjoy these "Grimm" fairy tales retold from a darker point of view. "This book will keep the readers glued till the end to find out the inevitable as well as shocking climax of this story." -Amazon Reviewer " Ms. Valle has written a delicious alternative to the sanitized Disney version of Cinderella. This girl knows how to make her world work for her." -Amazon Reviewer " Countless authors have written darker versions of the Cinderella story, but this one stands out for the sense of inevitable tragedy that comes from jealousy and the lack of love." -Amazon Reviewer "The twists and turns in this book are fantastic and unexpected! So different. I loved reading this and had a hard time putting it down." -Amazon Reviewer "This is not your typical Cinderella fractured fairytale. This well-written and magical story had many twists that I never expected." -Singing Librarian Books I've sometimes wondered about Cinderella. How could she stay so sweet and cheerful when she gets nothing but abuse from her family? I think even the most good-natured person would become bitter and vindictive after a while. In this story, I wanted to show a more wounded side of Cinderella, the side that is hurting from being unloved. Love brings out the best in people, but hate brings out the worst. So... about me: I live near Poughkeepsie, New York with my husband, three boys, and no pets. I have a hard time getting my boys to stop playing video games and read more books. My house is often a mess because I'm either out at my day job, or helping my kids with homework, or trying to squeeze in some writing and drawing. Yet I get frustrated when my house isn't clean. Other than strangers on the internet, I almost never tell anyone I know that I write books, because I have a weird insecurity that they won't take me seriously. But I never feel happier than when I'm working on my projects. If you have a few spare minutes, would you do me a favor and write a review? That really helps to give the book credibility. Also, please consider checking out my other books. Most of the time, I'm working on The Nine Princesses, a fun series about a family of teenage princesses. The first book "Maelyn" can be downloaded for free. Thanks so much for supporting an indie author. God bless you.-Anita Valle Anita Valle lives near Poughkeepsie, New York with her husband and 3 rambunctious boys.
