This was a fun take on the Twelve Dancing Princesses story, also combining the Beauty and the Beast and the myth of Hades and Persephone. What first caught my attention was the fact the "savior" of the 12 princesses is a 13-year-old girl rather than the traditional older male soldier, although Haske...
Reveka is a 13 year old girl who after being raised since she was very young in a convent has recently been reunited with her soldier father, who is the kings gardener to the Prince of Sylvania.

4.5 stars... that will turn into a five star rating, once I have the sequel in my hands...That is not to say that this ends with a cliffhanger. No, the story in this book is mostly properly resolved, especially the part about "The twelve dancing Princesses" retelling.As for "Beauty and the Beast"?We...
I've been searching for a good 12 Dancing Princesses retelling. I loved Wildwood Dancing and it's a fairy tale you can take in so many directions. The Princess Curse is an interesting blend of the 12 Princesses, Beauty and the Beast and the story of Persephone. It isn't the totally amazing retelling...
WARNING! This review has a few spoilers. Due to a few issues, I felt I could not give Princess Curse more than three stars. And even that's generous. Not to say it's a bad book. I'm merely saying that I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. First of all, I could not picture anything in my he...
So, my deep dark secret is that a few years ago, I was writing a Twelve Dancing Princesses retelling, and then I frogged* it for several reasons. But during that time, I didn’t read any of the multitude of TDP retellings that were being published. The Princess Curse is the first I’ve picked up since...
For once a book that screams sequel and yet there appears to be no sequel in sight. I loves stories with smart, strong, resourceful girls who aren't waiting for Prince Charming to come and rescue them. Thirteen year old herbal apprentice Reveka wants to find out why 12 princesses spend each night d...

This book was really good and really cute. It retells part of the 12 dancing princesses, part of beauty and the beast and part of the Hades and Persephone myth. I really liked it. Reveka is the main heroine who is 13 years old and is an herbalist apprentice in the castle where the 12 dancing princes...
