De La Cruz enchants is with a flowery opening of a gathering of all in the kingdom to a fete to meet the new princess. Well, all except for one. I love the small hints of unease that are scattered here and there that lets the reader know that something is not quite right.
The switch from fantasy to reality is slightly confusing in the beginning. I wasn’t sure if what I just read was relevant. But it is, so I digress. Filomena is a wonderful character that may be easily relatable. It’s hard to imagine a child like this being bullied but kids can be cruel to those who are different. Filomena is looking forward to reading the final chapter in a long series only to learn it’s never been written. Her disappointment is obvious but how does this change her life? With all her fandom memorabilia and frustration she leaves the bookstore only to be followed by a guy in black. De La Cruz has me hooked from here. Now I just have to wait to see how the story unfolds.
