“A Bite’s Tale” by Veronica Blade is a unique retelling of the classic Cinderella story with a paranormal twist. The novel introduces us to Cydney, a young girl who is also a werewolf. Blade’s fairy tale world is populated with warlocks, witches, vampires, and humans who take all these paranormal inhabitants in stride.
The story unfolds as Cydney meets and begins to fall in love with a boy named Jack, who is actually Remy, the crown prince in disguise. As their relationship progresses from friendship to something more, Cydney hits puberty, which for a wolf means shifting to wolf form with often deadly results. In this case, Cydney bites and almost kills Jack.
A few years lapse, and we find our heroine now motherless and coping as best as she can with her overwhelming fear that she will never be able to control her wolf. Losing control is not an option for her, so when everyone else is getting ready to be presented to the prince at the ball, Cydney stays home.
The rest of the fairy tale takes a wild turn as you must imagine a prince who has been turned into a vampire, wolves attempting an assassination, and Cinderella morphing into a wolf during the ball. This gives a glimpse into the fun ride that “A Bite’s Tale” promises to take you on.
