Happily Never After

Do fairy tales really end with a happily ever after? For Ella, her happily ever after came to a screeching halt when her incompetent fairy godmother botched her wish. Without a mask for the ball, Ella’s evil stepmother recognized Ella as she waltzed the night away with Prince Charmaine. Ella’s happily ever after swiftly became a happily never after when her stepmother threw her out of the house after smashing her glass slippers. Relying on old and new friends, Ella must learn to become a Lady while avoiding her fairy godmother’s attempts to correct the bad wish as Ella works to find her happily ever after.

Reviews

A delightful tale by Sonya M. Black, author of The Twisted Files about poor Ella, her nasty step-mother, and a not-very-effective fairy godmother. A quick and fun read.

The twist on Cinderalla ...

I like unusual love stories and like the twist on Cinderalla finding 'her' prince charming. It was very cute.

Not worth the time

The story itself was disappointing, she took a great Cinderella classic and turned it into a mess. I love Cinderella based stories, I love the different ways authors are taking the stories. This was a waste of time

Fun Alternate Version of Cinderella

The story is fairly short, and the romances that occur develop rather quickly. However, I like the emphasis on discovering yourself and what you want (and to be careful what you wish for). I would suggest this story is geared to a younger crowd than is stated (9-15 year olds, rather than 12-18 year olds), but I'm an adult and still enjoyed it. It was a fun, quick read that's appropriate for younger readers, too. (There aren't any swear words or inappropriate comments.)

I was intrigued by the description of this book. I always enjoy a not-so fairy tale kind of fairy tale, if that makes any sense. The idea that the classical Cinderella fairy godmother failing to provide her with her happily ever after, even after the ball with the prince, is a great plot to trace. I enjoy the cute romance between the main characters, including the supporting characters' involvement.

I was rather disappointed because of the predictability of the story line. Some of you might suggest that the Cinderella story is quite predictable to begin with. However, with the twist that the author gave, I expected there to be more intrigue and conflict development. I was able to predict the resolution after reading 28% of the book. The story would also stand to be longer. Although, if the author intended for the story to be short and sweet, it is a success.

That being said, I quite enjoy the cute story. It's something that I enjoy as light reading.

Amazing

This was a wonderful story. Loved . How you went into detail of how Ella lost her dad. Love the story of her funding her happily ever after and how she did it. Can't wait for more of your stories.

Cinderella with a twist

Wonderful Cinderella story for young adults with a different twist. Very enjoyable read with very fun characters. I love how the fairy godmothers are portrayed differently than they normally are and how Cinderella learns that sometimes who you think is your prince might not actually be your prince.

Nice, quirky little tale, of the girl who was cursed by her fairy godmother's interference. I did like the idea of the business which had been set up to repair the damage caused by fairy godmothers!
