Never After: The Stolen Slipper Vol. 2

"Never After: The Stolen Slipper (Vol. 2)" by Melissa de la Cruz is a reimagined fairy tale adventure that follows Filomena Jefferson-Cho and her friends as they embark on a quest to find Cinderella's elusive glass slippers—only to uncover dark secrets about the classic story. The once-believed innocent Cinderella is revealed to be manipulative and power-hungry, with her stepsisters, Hortense and Beatrice, actually being the true heroines of the tale. Alongside allies like Jack Stalker, Alastair, and Gretel, Filomena faces unexpected challenges and a prophecy that could change the fate of the fairy-tale world. As Filomena and Beatrice are imprisoned in the Beast's dungeon, the stakes grow higher. With a twist on the traditional happily-ever-after, Filomena must decide if she can rewrite the ending for Cinderella's stepsisters and secure a true, un-twisted resolution.
