A fast paced, action packed, cat chasing the mouse tale, having this reader not wanting the story to finish for all the right reasons. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the vividly depicted happenings in each of the chapters. The strong leading characters of Arabelle and Marius were breathtaking to read. A story with sneaky, shocking twists and sentimental, heartfelt moments. Thrilling reading full of surprises and extraordinary characters. The secondary personas only added further depth to an already stunning read. A story not to be missed.

The Black Lily will grab your heart and hold it with a vice grip from the very first words. It's also an utterly fascinating retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale unlike anything I've seen before. A vampire prince, a peasant girl, a ruler with a conscience, and a revolutionary.

The Black Lily ties paranormal romance with historical romance - my two favorite genres. Add the tie in to the classic fairy tales I loved growing up without being a literal re-telling of Cinderella, and it's the perfect combination. Juliette Cross writes exactly the kind of stories I love to read. I will always read whatever she writes!
