What happened after the happily ever after?
You all know the story of Cinderella, but did
you ever wonder what happened after the fairytale ending? Well we
know. Not all afters end up happily, sometimes the real adventure
starts much later...
Halia dreams of a better life, one where she
doesn't scrub toilets for the tyrannical Madam at a boarding house
with creepy guests. All Halia wants is to make a decent living doing
something she enjoys without her employer constantly putting her
down.
However, when her friend tricks her into
attending an open mic night, Halia gets much more than she bargained
for.
Lorenzo, the bar owner, is convinced Halia has
what it takes to become a star, but to do so she must stand up to
both Madam and her possessive boyfriend Victor.
Can Halia find the strength she needs to change
the course of her life?
My Review:
Halia and her best friend share a room at the
boarding house where they work. To make their work days go faster
Halia sings in the halls while they are cleaning the rooms. The guest
at the boarding house likes to hear her sing so they cover the halls
just to hear her sing. Halia is very shy with her singing, she
doesn’t like singing in front of an audience. Halia doesn’t think
she is very good even though her best friend tells her everyday how
good she is.
Halia doesn’t believe that she could make a
living with singing she just dreams of a day when she can walk away
from the boarding house. She hopes that her boyfriend will ask her to
marry him. Halia’s boyfriend is sort of a control freak. He wants
things his way and has an idea of how a person should act and behave
and live. Halia does not agree with him but she believes that he is
her best hope of getting out of the boarding house.
Her best friend tricks Halia into going to open
mic night at this bar. Halia is nervous about singing in front of a
crowd but goes ahead with it anyone. Everyone at the bar really
enjoys Halia’s singing. Halia would like to take the job but she is
afraid that her boyfriend may not like the idea. If Halia is to live
her own life the way she wants then she must stand up to and face her
boyfriend. Can Halia face her boyfriend? Does she have what it takes
to make her dreams come true?
Queen of Song is a great little introduction
into a brand new world of Cinderella, a Cinderella re-telling. Queen
of Song is a very enthralling and enchanting story that will pull you
in from the first page. The twist on the Cinderella story in Queen of
Song is great and works so well. I can’t wait to dive into the next
story Heiress of Melody for more in this fairy tale world of Halia’s
Cinderella re-telling.
If
you like the fairy tale re-telling stories then I believe that you
will fall in love with Cinderella’s Queen of Song. One click your
