Cruella's story, told from her point of view. In this book, you are Cruella as a child, teen, and adult, so you can see how she changes and becomes evil. I really appreciated seeing how she grew up and also her friendship with Anita, who we all know as the owner of Perdita. Quick read.
This book was received as an ARC from Disney Book Group - Disney-Hyperion in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
I absolutely was looking forward to the release of this book since I am a huge fan of the Villains series by Serena Valentino. All of the books so far were brilliantly written and I expected nothing less from Serena and I must say, this was the BEST villains book in the series (in my humble opinion). I loved the approach she took in focusing of Cruella's childhood and her friendship with Anita and the influence it had to the personality she had during the events with the dalmatians. I did like the roles of the odd sisters in the previous books but I loved how Serena left them out with Cruella because when I heard of the release of this book, I was figuring out in my head how their role would be and I could not come up with anything so I was happy to see that I didn't have to think about it. I was cheering, screaming, dreaming and smiling all throughout reading this book. I can not wait to buy a hardcopy for myself and add it to my villains' collection. This sure is a book that you don't want to miss.
We will consider adding this title to our YA collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
