The romantic aspect was a nice addition to the bleakness of the story. I enjoyed seeing the bonds between the sisters and how they coped and responded to situations. One thing is though, I wish a certain character wasn’t so predictable. If someone shows an interest, it’s for our money. I didn’t expect it to be creepy, but I’m glad it was even though I had to stop reading when it’s too late in the night lol! The story pulled me in right from the beginning with the murder mystery aspect. The setting was atmospheric with a dark and eerie feel. The masks and paste jewels, the whisper of silks and tulles, the promise of handsome dance partners-they’d all dazzled me until I was blinded to my true purpose. I came out on the other side completely dazzled.Īfter so many years of staid blacks and tepid behaviors, the balls were invigorating. I know it’s a fairytale retelling of Twelve Dancing Princesses which I’m not familiar with, so I went into this one blind. This book first caught my attention with the somewhat depressing title and intriguing cover. She must find the answers or risk succumbing to the rumored family curse. But her quest for closure was sidetracked by enchanting balls and an equally enchanting man, Cassius Corum. After the latest death, Annaleigh Thaumas was convinced her sister was murdered. Unfortunately, tragedy kept visiting the family and left them with only the last eight girls. On the remote Salten Island, lived a family of a Duke with his twelve daughters.
