Product Description

Eunice lives her life by three simple rules: One, always refer to Cinderella as family. Two, never let Cinderella gain access to rats or mice. Three, never look upon Cinderella between the hours of twelve and three a.m.

Cinderella has dark and terrifying powers. As her stepsister, Eunice is expected to care for her and keep the family's secret. For years, Eunice has faithfully done so. Her childhood flew by in a blur of nightmares, tears, and near-misses with the monster living in the cellar. But when she befriends the handsome Prince Credence and secures an invitation to the ball, Eunice is determined to break free.

When her younger sister, Hortense, steps up to care for Cinderella, Eunice grabs her chance to dance the night away—until Cinderella escapes. With her eldritch powers, Cinderella attends the ball and sweeps Prince Credence off his feet, leaving behind a trail of carnage and destruction as well as a single green glass slipper.

With Cinderella unleashed, Eunice must determine how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice in order to stop Cinderella.

Reviews/Praise

"I thought the narrator on the audiobook did a fantastic job." —Her Thrilling Reads

"EJ Lavery did a wonderful job portraying all of W.R. Gorman's characters." —Morgan B Reads

"EJ Lavery was perfect. The way she emoted made me FEEL her anxiety and fear. You could feel the doubt and false bravado in Eunice when “commanding” Cinderella." —Rachel Has No Shelf Control

"The narrator was phenomenal! Her voice difference between all the characters made the story even better. I could clearly picture everything, especially the shoe scene." —Bookmarked by Ash
