OH MY GOD. Every ending is a cliffhanger and a hell of a slap in the face! Been at it for three days now and I am definitely going to binge read the whole series! ( )

The Godmother has been called and quoted her price for Ella’s release. And now Ella must figure out how not only to get her wish, but how to NOT kill the prince. This has been a really fun adventure. The main problem I have is that none of the book covers match the books. NONE OF THEM. I find it annoying. ( )

THE MOONLIGHT MASQUERADE is the third episode in Rachel Morgan’s City of Wishes serial. Elle Winter makes a deal with the Godmother to grant her wish of freedom. However, Elle does not want to pay the price.

This was another exiting addition to the City of Wishes story. The story continues to have unanticipated twists and interesting variations on the Cinderella fairy tale. Elle is a wonderful heroine. She discovers a number of interesting things about herself and others in this installment.

The tale has a nail-biting conclusion that left me anxiously anticipating the next episode. I recommend this series to people who enjoy paranormal fairytale retellings. Make sure to read the books in order. You do not want to skip an episode. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. ( )

This is such a fun series and perfect for quick reads here and there.

After summoning what appears to be her last hope, Elle now discovers the price of the Fairy Godmother's wish, and it's something she can't morally do. Still, Elle sees no other way out of her impossible situation and makes the deal. Her intention—to find a loop-hole and trick the Fairy Godmother. But it's not something which is easily pulled off.

Each of these novellas is like reading a few chapters in a continuous story, and I can only hope these are available as a set some day. The books are like biting little morsels of a delicious desert. Each book creates a fantastic atmosphere of magic, tension, secrets, romance and hope. This third installment starts off with a bang as the reader realizes what the Fairy Godmother is really asking even if Elle doesn't. At first. It's hard not to fever for Elle, since her situation is more than difficult and doesn't only involve her. It's easy to feel for her as she makes a tough decision whether or not to take the wish, and had me sitting on the edge of my seat as I hoped her plan wouldn't backfire. However, I was a little surprised that Elle ever thought her plan would work (which I'm still not sure if it does or not since it's not clear yet) and almost switched my rating down a star because of this.

This third book has gripped me as much as the first two. I'm hoping to see more of the other characters in the next book and can't wait to see what secrets and intrigue....and magic?...still lay in wait.

I received a complimentary copy and loved reading every page. So, I'm leaving my honest thoughts. ( )
