Devastated by her father’s sudden death, Stella barely protests
being shipped off to live in a secluded forest encampment with the mother she
never knew. Upon arrival, things go from bad to downright creepy. Everyone in
the cultish community stares at her like she’s a mutant, including the two
sisters her father failed to mention in her fourteen years, and her mother
promptly locks her in the attic. Her only companions are a mouse and fantasies
of befriending her own sisters.
Desperately lonely, Stella watches from the window as her family leaves for a night each month to attend mysterious “lunar meetings.” While they are gone to one of these meetings, Stella escapes the attic, only to discover why her mother has kept her locked up her since her arrival—the entire community is made up of werewolves. Intensely protective of their privacy, they would do anything to keep their secret from outsiders…outsiders like Stella. Once she knows their secret, she must fight for her freedom...and her life.
My Thoughts…
I am a fan of
fairy tale retells which is what I thought I was getting with Unlikely
Magic. There were some similarities to
Cinderella but it wasn’t exactly a retell.
There were a mother who wasn’t always nice, sisters who were different,
the death of a father, and chores other than that there wasn’t much Cinderella
like about the story.
Yet, I could
not put the book down. I was pulled
into the story, interested in the characters, and anxious for Stella to be
okay. The shape shifter part was
wonderful. I love a good shape shifter
story and Unlikely Magic is just that.
It was also nice that there were numerous twists and turns within the
story. As I started to get a feel of
where the story was heading Lena Mae Hill would throw something unexpected into
the story I was would feel the need to read even more.
If you are a
fan of the paranormal I would recommend picking up your own copy.
Thank you
Heather Hildenbrand for the recommendation and Lena Mae Hill for a copy of her
book in exchange for an honest review.
