Cinderella returns to continue her bloody revenge. While at the Ball, she reunites with her evil stepsisters, and discovers that the Prince has some secrets of his own that are far from charming.
MY REVIEW:
A great ending to a great beginning. the author did not fail to keep the story intact and make us wonder that yes, this can be possible. this book is the sequel of zombie cinderella 1 to which i already reviewed. it was a great book and this book is a great ending.
it has violence and reveals the dark side of everyone we ever loved as a child, but it is a must read. if you have read the first book, then i would suggest you to finish it, you wont be disappointed.
in the end, what i want to say is that sometimes one should wake and see the world than just sleep and dream of an inexistant world. i love kevin richey's fairy tales in zombie version and i would suggest one and all to go for it!
happy reading, do comment!
I RATED IT A WHOLE 4.5 POINTS
and so 5 FLOWERS:

SYNOPSIS:
“My name is Isabel Cruz, and I’m nineteen years old, almost
twenty. I go to Lincoln University where I’m majoring in English. I’m a
straight-A student, and I know what I’m doing with my life, but things weren’t
always that way. Or rather, I’ve always known what I wanted, and it just hasn’t
always gone along with society’s views. In high school, I had an affair with my
swim coach. I wanted him, and I took what I wanted. We were together until I
graduated, but he had a wife and kids, and I left him behind to come here. I
left everything behind to come here. At least that’s what I thought.”
Isabel was never like the other girls at her school in the sleepy town of
Hillside, California. At sixteen she fell in love with Tom, a married swim
coach at Royal Oaks High School; their exhilarating and sultry affair
continuing in secret for several years. Finally, Isabel realized that her own
future had to come first, but even after relocating to Washington, D.C. to
study at Lincoln University, she finds herself still wracked by guilt
"Outsiders" is a young
adult story about a small town that invites a group of foreigners, to
the town, to teach them about their way of life in America. However, the
newcomers aren’t all they appear. The main character, Hannah, falls in
love with one of the "outsiders", and finds herself in compromising
circumstances due to this forbidden love. Once the horrible intentions
of the outsiders are revealed, Hannah must find the courage and strength
to save her town
Isabel Cruz was fifteen years old
when she met Tom Stevens. She was 15 when they started dating, and 16 when she
lost her virginity to him. By the time she turned 18 and went to college,
everything had fallen apart.
This hadn’t been an ordinary love, though. Not a love between two dear friends,
or even high school sweethearts. This had been the most taboo sort of love
there was: a relationship between a student and her teacher. Isabel started her
high school career as a normal student, but set her sights on Tom Stevens as
soon as she met him, and pursued him with an intense – and sometimes reckless –
fascination. When he finally approached her after swim practice and told her
that he shared her feelings, it was the start of a forbidden and dangerous
relationship.
Join Isabel as she makes her way through this dark love story, hiding from
teachers, lying to her parents, and defying the authorities to make a life with
the man she loves. Watch as she discovers the wonders of love and romance, and
the terrible betrayal of jealous friends. And cry with her when she learns the
hard truth about life and the people in her world.
Sweetest Taboo is inspired by the true and tragic stories of students who fall
in love with their teachers, and live with the hard truths of forbidden
romances. In a world full of after-school specials on sexual predators, this
touching book seeks a different path, casting both student and teacher in a
gentle light, and showing that true love may lie at the base of even the most
illicit romance
MY REVIEW!
LOVE
the
most unpredictable and inexplicable emotion in the entire world. It is
said
that love happens and doesn’t care to whom. You don’t know with whom you
would
fall in love with or from where that person belongs, love just happens
and one
has no control over it. Well it is as true as the fact that “sun rises
in the
east”. But the biggest problem that the human kind goes through is that
we are judgmental. We care about others affairs and don’t stop passing
comments or
judging people on what they do. And that is what this book deals about
The
story is most common and IT happens in real life across the globe, and this
fact cannot be denied. Teenagers fall for people older than them, and they
might even be their teachers. But not all the relationships are true, and that
fact cannot be denied. But, no one even wants to see it in a way that maybe
just maybe it’s a true love. The past encounters of older people “using”
younger girls for their satisfaction has clouded the mind of the society that
when it comes to a relationship between and older guy and a younger girl, it is
illegal and the girl is being taken advantage of. But it does not necessarily
work like that, and that is what this book deals with.
I
really enjoyed the book very much, it threw light on the most important
topics
about which people just made up their mind already and are not willing
to
change at all. To be honest, while reading I was being judgmental
towards the
actions and what Isabel actually did too. And i probably wouldn't have
done the same as she did. Some of her actions didn’t suit me as
for my mind rejected the very idea of what she was doing, stating it to
be
illegal or forbidden. This book forced me to change my point of view on
the
topic. Made me wonder, why not? as “what is world if not for the way you look at it”.
I
loved the book, it is simple great, just great and I would strongly recommend
it for teenagers and even others, as it really gives an outlook on a topic
people seem to ignore.
I WOULD RATE IT A 4/5 POINTS
and 5 flowers because I loved the book very much!
