Description

Cinderella retold: Fae, vampires, shifters, and a Godmother who’ll grant you any wish—if you pay the price.

For human slave Elle, it’s just another night of breaking her stepmother’s rules and sneaking out. Another night of using her unique skills for clients who want to ... forget.

Get the job done. Get paid. Move one step closer to legitimately buying a wish.

But when Elle runs face-first into a charming and handsome faerie—and then ends up in the clutches of a vampire—her usual fly-under-the-radar plans are knocked off course.

In a world of fae, vampires and shifters, where wishes can be bought and bargained for, Elle is human, bound to her stepmother by a slave charm. Her only hope at freedom is to wish for it. But the Godmother rules the illegal wish trade, and the price she demands is steep. Is Elle willing to pay it?

    Author does great work but does the same thing other authors do right now. They make the full book into a short mini series. I hate this new trend and refuse to read or buy books when authors do this.

    This book is one of the best books I have ever read and that is saying a lot because I have read a LOT of books. I could not put this book down from the moment I read the frist chapter.

    Wow this book is even better than I thought ! R.M really pulled out a whole new character while keeping the essence of the real Cinderella. 10/10 would recommend.

    City of Wishes 1: The Memory Thief is an urban fantasy twist on Cinderella and it introduces us to a whole new reality of fae, humans, vampires, and shifters. In this world, however, humans are considered second-class citizens and lots of them are even enslaved to the other races. Our heroine Elle is a slave to her evil fae stepmother and stepsisters. At least in this retelling one of the stepsisters is a decent being and helps make Elle’s existence a little more bearable. Our Cinderella is not just an ordinary human girl though; she has the power to remove memories from people’s minds. She uses her gift in exchange for fae Essence, the currency she needs to purchase a Wish and finally gain her freedom. During one of her clandestine nighttime excursions, she meets dashing fae Dex and that’s where the story starts to get even more interesting. Rachel Morgan has done it again: the first City of Wishes installment is a great introduction to a thrilling new fantasy world! The characters and the pacing are great! I can’t wait to read the next episode!

    This was a creative and fun retelling of a classic fairytale. The author has a way of writing that kept me captivated so that I could not put this story down (can I have the next one please also lol). The story was clear and entertaining with strong characters. I received an ARC for an honest review
