I came across this lovely little book in a charity shop a while back, and it lingered in the TBR pile for a long while.
A relatively short read, coming in at less than 200 pages. This slow starter rapidly became one of those books that I struggled to put down.
Scarlett has felt different for a long while, but seems to develop her magick powers naturally without any guidance. Scarlett is your typical 21 year old, enjoying living away from home, in the big city, looking for love, finding a job after finishing school, managing finances and having fun with friends, oh and being a witch! That was until the night of the break in. After that Scarlett started to notice odd little things, would lose train of thought, or moments in time. Until one day when it all came together in an intriguing climax.

The first in this series, I would happily purchases the rest.

Silvia Undine is used to shouldering the blame for everything happening around her; people tend to be suspicious of what they don't understand and they definitely don't understand her kind.
The one place she might find acceptance is her home, the ocean from which she's been banished.

Never had she imagined that her return might start a war and what she most certainly hadn't expected was to find Kings willing to fight for, against, and over her.

So after being disappointed in Cinderella I was weary going into this one. I was pleasantly surprised it was much better than Cinderella and had more depth. I was still very confused in some parts I felt like she was throwing everything at the book and sometimes important things got a little lost. But definitely an improvement and definitely a reason to continue with the series. Although the epilogue threw me and didn't quite make sense!
