Amy | 12907 comments There is always a risk of reading something that's extremely new and already highly touted. Ratings show this newly released book to have a rating 3.97. This was absolutely not my cup of tea. But I have seen it happen before when I have greatly disliked a book that others have treasure. Recently, I told someone I was disliking the book, and began to describe the basic plot. She said, that my plot description was straight up her alley. See if its straight up yours.

A Cinderella -like figure in Mexico, a young woman living in her grandfather's house, opens an unusual box in her grandfather's bedroom. The box contains bones, which summarily turn themselves into a man. Then the man/god whisks her away and kidnaps her, drawing her into his legend, and attempt to regain power and form. Nope, not my cup of tea.

Joanne (joabroda1) | 12562 comments Oh, so sorry you did not like it! I am half way through and I am really enjoying it! I love the era it is written in, I love Casiopia and her relationship with the god! Pretty sure it will hit at least 4 stars for me. I agree though, unless you are a fan of the fantasy genre it will not sit well in your cup (of tea ;) )

p.s. your header for the book needs to be edited-It should say Jade, not Shade-:)

Jason Oliver | 3040 comments Not my cup of tea either. Sorry you didn't like it and Joanne, I'm glad you do. I probably won't pick this one up though.

Amy | 12907 comments Smart move Jason! Joanne, I knew it! They are going to be those who are going to love this thing. For me, swept out with Cinderella’s ashes.
