The Shadow in the Glass by JJA Harwood

Rating: WARTY!

"A gothic retelling of Cinderella perfect for fans of Erin Morgenstern" so ripping-off another author's style, huh?! The plot is predictably tired: "Ella dreams of escaping from life as her stepfather’s overworked maid — so when a mysterious fairy godmother offers her seven wishes, she readily accepts. But soon Ella discovers this seemingly perfect gift comes at an awful price." Nothing new here. There's only one thing this story lacks: originality. Even the title is grossly overused.
