This is the second book in the Fairy Godmother Series. This is a delightful sequel and an excellent twist on the fairy godmothers, as well as a great Cinderella retelling.

Big thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the chance to review this book pre-release. This is the second book in a new series, though Netgalley and the publishers aren't presenting it that way. Once I realized that, I had to pick up the first book so I didn't feel lost. I really enjoyed the first book, and once I got to this one, I liked it even better than the first. I loved the fresh take on the classic fairy tales, and the character twists.

Gorgeous cover art and what seems like excellent world building.
DNF at ~5% because I did not realize that this was a sequel and I need to have read the first one (nothing in the title or marketing here on NetGalley indicated a sequel, so I was very confused when I started reading).

Spell of the Sinister is the second book in the Fairy Godmother Series which turns the entire idea that those godmothers are sweet beings just waiting to grant wishes to downtrodden humans right on its head. The Entente, as the group of magical fairy godmothers are known, have been ill used by humans and are out for some revenge. Farrow and her mother Hecate have one plan, while Bari and her group have another. The book is exciting and engaging. There is mild violence and scenes of peril, sweet romance, but nothing to keep this from being a nice middle grade book.

I received an advance reader copy. All opinions are my own.
