Once upon a time…is not like I remember it. Cinderella does marry the handsome prince, Armand, but her real name is Danielle de Glas, and her stepsister’s are out to get their revenge on her for stealing their prince. Danielle soon discovers that Armand has been kidnapped and his mother, the Queen, enlists the help of two other princesses to bring Armand back.

Danielle’s servant, Talia, is forced to reveal that she is actually Sleeping Beauty when Danielle’s stepsister, Charlotte, comes to the castle and attacks her. Talia is a skilled fighter and defends Danielle, but Charlotte escapes. She then takes Danielle through a secret passageway to the queen where she encounters the princess, Snow White.

Danielle, Talia and Snow go to Fairytown in search of the prince. The political climate does not support their presence there and strong magic is being used to keep the prince’s location hidden. They need Talia’s physical prowess, Snow’s magic and Danielle’s connection to the prince to help them find the way. There are enchanted trees, goblins and all manner of creatures trying to prevent them from ever finding him.

The Stepsister Scheme is an amazing twist on the tales of the three princesses I grew up with. Each girl’s story is woven in great detail as we discover what became of each “happily ever after” fairytale and their not-so-happy endings. Being a princess is much more difficult than I ever imagined, and there were some fun twists in turns in this story that kept me thoroughly engrossed. I laughed often, found myself sitting on the edge of my chair, and even shed a tear or two. I’m thrilled to know that two more books are on their way and will be watching for them. It was beyond my expectations, and I absolutely loved it!
