I never thought that the retelling of Anastasia Romanov would have me so thrilled that I literally couldn’t put my copy down until after I read the Epilogue. And because I’m a 90s Disney baby and an avid fan of historical documentaries, this book got me so hooked the moment I learned that it’s a retelling of Anastasia. It was so captivating that it had me singing Journey to the Past in my head!
I loved how the story revolved around the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. It was really interesting how the author came up with a plot inspired by Anastasia. This dark retelling is the perfect homage to the story woven from the history of the real Romanovs.
Dominic and Angel had the perfect push-and-pull romance. As the story unravels, you cannot help but be totally invested in them. Dominic may appear to be a gruff con man, but underneath that hardened exterior, you will find the devotion of a man who will protect the one he loves. And Angel’s character was so enigmatic that you can’t help but sympathize and love her. Amidst all her traumatic secrets is a girl full of courage and grit.
I loved how each of the plotlines was so intricate that at the end of the day, even if you know when the biggest twists are going to be revealed, you can’t help but still be surprised at the unexpected turns.
This is one hell of a book from the Sinister Fairy Tale collection and it’s one of the best ones out there. I’ve read quite a few of them at by far I can definitely say that this belongs in at least the Top 3!
