    A new twist on Sleeping Beauty

    Jenny N

    10 months ago

    This is the second book in the Twisted Tales series by Maureen McGowan. It's a stand alone read and is a twist on another fairy tale we all know. Sleeping Beauty, aka Lucette has been cursed ever since she was a baby by the Vampire Queen, Natasha. The curse is that after turning 16, if Lucette pricks her finger she will fall asleep during the day and can only wake during the night when the rest of the kingdom asleep. So with the curse upon her and with the ever increasing vampire threat, Lucette not only has to protect her parents but also find a way to break the curse.

    For most of her life Lucette has been protected in every way possible. After finding out about the curse, Lucette knows that she must learn to fight and protect herself so that's exactly what she does. With her mother's help, she trains to be a vampire slayer. Along the way she meets two boys: Tristan, a fellow vampire slayer from a neighbouring kingdom and Alex, Queen Natasha's son and the vampire crown prince. Tristan was a bit bland and too perfect for me but Alex was my favourite character.

    Compared to the Cinderella story this was a darker story what with vampires and vampire slayers you're bound to have lots of fighting and some sort of bloodshed. If you like fairy tale retellings or vampires in general than you'll probably like this book.
