And you thought the stepsisters were wicked....
I'm not who they think I am. A docile girl who meekly obeys her stepmother and stepsisters. Some kind of sick angel who cheerfully bears their mistreatment. That's what I WANT them to think. Because then they won't suspect what I'm really up to.
The ball, the prince - it's all part of my plan to come out on top. Stepmother and her demented daughters will pay for every floor I have scoured, every sneer I have borne. They don't know about the white magic, how I use it to enhance myself. They can't see that my heart is black as midnight, rotten as a poisoned apple.
They're about to find out.

Sinful Cinderella: (Free Fantasy Book) (Dark Fairy Tale Queen Series Book 1)By Anita Valle Review "This book will keep the readers glued till the end to find out the inevitable as well as shocking climax of this story." -Amazon Reviewer"Ms. Valle has written a delicious alternative to the sanitized Disney version of Cinderella. This girl knows how to make her world work for her." -Amazon Reviewer"Countless authors have written darker versions of the Cinderella story, but this one stands out for the sense of inevitable tragedy that comes from jealousy and the lack of love." -Amazon Reviewer"The twists and turns in this book are fantastic and unexpected! So different. I loved reading this and had a hard time putting it down." -Amazon Reviewer"This is not your typical Cinderella fractured fairytale. This well-written and magical story had many twists that I never expected." -Singing Librarian Books
From the Author I've sometimes wondered about Cinderella. How could she stay so sweet and cheerful when she gets nothing but abuse from her family? I think even the most good-natured person would become bitter and vindictive after a while. In this story, I wanted to show a more wounded side of Cinderella, the side that is hurting from being unloved. Love brings out the best in people, but hate brings out the worst.So... about me: I live near Poughkeepsie, New York with my husband, three boys, and no pets. I have a hard time getting my boys to stop playing video games and read more books. My house is often a mess because I'm either out at my day job, or helping my kids with homework, or trying to squeeze in some writing and drawing. Yet I get frustrated when my house isn't clean. Other than strangers on the internet, I almost never tell anyone I know that I write books, because I have a weird insecurity that they won't take me seriously. But I never feel happier than when I'm working on my projects.If you have a few spare minutes, would you do me a favor and write a review? That really helps to give the book credibility. Also, please consider checking out my other books. Most of the time, I'm working on The Nine Princesses, a fun series about a family of teenage princesses. The first book "Maelyn" can be downloaded for free.Thanks so much for supporting an indie author. God bless you.-Anita Valle

30 of 32 people found the following review helpful. An Interesting Dark Story, but not Conclusive By Bel I'm a bit conflicted about this story. On one hand, I love the changed perspective-- a Cinderella that isn't perfect and all good. But there's a reason that this story is usually so positive-- fairy tales need a moral at the end. The problem with this story, for me, was I didn't feel like there was a conclusion or a moral. Cinderella started off as not that bad. Perhaps a little bratty and bitter, but redemption was in view. Then... she got worse. Not really a fan of that plot. Fairy tales usually have a positive ending, because events happen that cause character development. For this "dark" story, it wasn't a moment that brought her into darkness and she pulled against it bravely. It was just a sort of "meh-- I'm pretty much a bad person". Cinderella had no real redemption or transition to evil. It's not a book that you finish and fell complete, or feel sympathy for poor misunderstood Cinderella. The conclusion is just that she's pretty much a bad egg, not particularly passionately evil, just casually meh. When you look at this book, it's probably best to consider the difference between a dark fairy tale (where there is a beginning, middle, and end of the character's darkness and you are left with a moral and a feeling of compassion), and a story with a dark fairy tale character (where the character is basically bad through and through).SUMMARY: When Cinderella's dear father died, she was stuck with her stepmother and two stepsisters. Visited by her fairy godmother, she found that doing good deeds and behaving kindly earned her some white magic-- magic that gave her power to change her appearance, change animals to other animals, object to other objects. But Cinderella's heart festered with bitterness. She does good, but only with the end goal of evil. Her prize, the prince, may not be the easy and happy ending she searched for. The prince has his own darkness. And true darkness is not pleasant.the not so best parts: I guess my main problem was Cinderella started out a bit vindictive and bitter. But in all honesty, she wasn't that bad. She even had moments of genuine kindness. I would have preferred to see development of her compassion, than see her slowly dissolve into bad habits. This truly is a negative story. There are a few pinnacle moments of badness, but they don't have the proper motivation to inspire compassion in the reader, or to make you think that there is possible compassion in the character. The result makes you think the character is shallow and very one dimensional.the best parts: the magic is interesting, the step characters are realistic. The line between malicious but not ridiculous was perfectly toed with all step characters. The prince was a fresh surprise, well written, and it was interesting for Cinderella to basically see herself reflected in this faux-amazing man. A refreshing change of pace, and an interesting read.All in all, the writing was good. The story was fleshed out, the characters sharp. A good novella. I just didn't like that this story didn't have a resolution or even real development of character. A novella shows, in my mind, important snipers of a story to bring a full picture. This felt like the beginning (of the end). The dark edginess might just not be my thing. For certain, I'm not eager to reread for a character that I just think will never change-- especially because she had so many opportunities for goodness-- and isn't particularly emotion provoking. If you're looking for something new and with a dark feel, this might be it for you. If you're looking for a dark fairy tale, or different fairy tale with a solid conclusion and moral-- this just doesn't have that structure. I liked reading this, and found it interesting food for thought-- but I didn't feel like I really wanted to see more of Cinderella. This just doesn't have THAT MOMENT-- the one where you cry for that transition to evil, or you cry cause you see the inner pain. This just felt like you wanted to shake Cinderella.If you want to see a different Cinderella, this is your novella. If you want a full tale revolving around a dark Cinderella, where you see a clear ending and you feel sudden understanding and compassion towards an evil Cinderella, this isn't for you.
7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Creative and Interesting, but not without flaws By Lichenut This was an interesting, creative new take on the story of Cinderella. Cinderella is bad, but she isn't evil. The step-family is bad, but not wholly evil (step-mom becomes more evil toward the end). The prince is not as he seems (Spoiler: He is evil).I found it hard to sympathize with the characters. The only character I actually liked was the youngest stepsister, and I stopped liking her at the end. At least the dysfunctional family is consistently dysfunctional. I get that this is a dark retelling, but there should have been at least one likeable and good character that remained likeable and good. Even a very minor character!I was not a fan of the ending. It's sort of left hanging. Yes, Cinderella does some bad things, but she doesn't deserve the ending she gets. And while life isn't fair and people don't always get what they deserve, the ending wasn't satisfying. I want to learn how Cinderella's fate affects her as a person. Does she slowly become more and more bad to the point of being evil? Does she find justice? Does she escape? Now, there is supposed to be a sequel (about the prince's daughter, I think), so hopefully Cinderella's story gets a little more wrapped up then.
