Product Information

There were no happy endings, that much I knew. Whatever I faced after this would surely lead to my death. I need her to love me, but I had waited nearly ten years for someone to come along with enough reason to learn my true name. This creature, she wished to be free, and if she wished hard enough, she might just set me free too." In addition to the spice, we also see both Casamir and Ella face their misgivings about love. Neither like being vulnerable and they resist fully opening up to each other. However, with all that chemistry zapping around, it proves difficult. "She makes me feel like it won't matter if I have a name or not. So long as I know her, I will know myself."

No one spoke, but as I drew near, the people of Elk moved—some ahead, some beside, some behind, caging me. The villagers spilled into the center of town like phantoms. They kept me within their ghostly circle, surrounding the well, which was open to the sky and only a cold, stone circle that went deep into the ground. I approached and looked down, the bottom dry as a bone. Whatever the cause, a villager of Elk was always chosen to end each curse—some as simple as a case of painful boils, others as devastating as a harvest destroyed by locust. It was said to be a random selection, but everyone knew better. The mayor of Elk used the curses to rid his town of those he did not deem worthy, because in the end, no villager could break a curse without a consequence. My muscles grew more rigid, my jaw more tense, my mind spiraling with flashes of memories bathed in red as the blood continued to drip.Elsie was pale except for her cheeks which were rosy red. Her coloring made her eyes look darker, almost stormy. Her hair had come loose from her We know how the story will go; this is a fairy tale retelling; there is a happy ending.

She grounds it things we’ve heard about and then takes it away from there to something magical and horrible at the same time.

Nothing is gentle and pretty; beautiful things are cruel, as is expected of them.
