Review: Slippers And Thieves Special Edition

Slippers And Thieves Special Edition by Christina Bauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It has been years since Elle’s parent’s died and she ran away from her stepmother to live her own life in New York City.  Elle tries her best to forget about what she went through and she even attends West Lake Prep, a high school where regular humans and Magicorum study side by side.  Elle knows she is a Cinderella template and that she is destined to not marry her true love.  When Elle falls for Alec, she quickly discovers that her stepfamily already has plans for one of the stepsisters to marry Alec and he is off-limits.  It is even thought that if Alec and Elle so much as kiss … a group of witches and wizards would go to war.  They try really hard to stay friends, but with curses and prophecies in the mix, who know where they will end up.

Slippers and Thieves is the fourth book in the Fairy Tales of the Magicorum series.  Although there are overlapping storylines and characters with the other books in the series, this tale can be read and enjoyed all by itself.  With that said, if readers go back to the other stories, they may have some spoilers.  Bauer has once again created a story that was fun and fast with some backstabbing and friendship building throughout.  I enjoyed this book and can’t wait for Bandits and Ball Gowns, slotted to be released in November 2020.
