This was so wonderful! It’s definitely the most unique Cinderella retelling I’ve ever read—absolutely magical!
If you’re wondering how Ella dying and becoming a ghost can still follow the same beats, I won’t spoil anything, but you’ll be so surprised and delighted by the unusual HEA, just like I was.

There’s magic, a cursed prince, a stepsister who is the worst version of one, 3 nights of balls, and a foreign princess with sorcery. And it all ties together in a queer love story and an exploration of what it means to live.

Highly recommended!

Never in my years on Earth… Did I ever expect someone to write a retelling of Cinderella as a f*ckin’ house 😭😭😭 I know I’ve always complained about retellings not being actual retellings if you just follow the same storyline, but this? P L E A S E ☠️
As hilarious as it sounds… It’s actually not camp. The first few chapters when the step sister went Wreck-It Ralph in the room was omg lmfao.

This was a queer, gothic romance. Imagine Monster House, but she wasn’t able to fight back…
But she’s also a ghost?
I don’t know how to explain it. This was great though. Esp for a novella!! Usually I struggle w/ short stories being there isn’t enough details - it’s way too rushed, but this was one done really well.

Overall, I enjoyed this!! It gave us a VERY unique ☠️ spin forsure, but it also wasn’t just one aspect that made this so different. Which is why I applaud Freya Marske 👏🏽 She really gave us an actual RETELLING.
Anna Burnett did amazing narrating!!
