Cover Reveal: A Dream Not Imagined

Today I am doing my first cover reveal for, 'A Dream Not Imagined' by Shantelle Mary Hannu. I was given the opportunity to read and review it.

My review.

I love retellings, but they can be a challenge to write and bring something unexpected to the reader. Fortunately this novella does just that, Shantelle manages to weave a tale, using threads that keep true to the story we all know and love, but she also puts a fresh spin on the classic Cinderella. Making it relevant, and unique. Leaving you with strong female lead to root for, and enough new twists to keep you guessing. 

A MAID, a PRINCE, and a DUKE. A GARDENER, a STEPMOTHER, and a secret...

     Ellie Abbington, a beautiful yet unassuming young woman, quietly longs for her life to change. Too privileged to associate with the servants—too underprivileged to associate with her own family; she dreams a dream of a prince and a happily ever after.

     But it could be that her own stepsisters, conniving Dezmarie and easily-influenced Adelaide, are dreaming the same dream...of the same prince.

     In the end, are dreams even all they're made out to be? Especially with deep and long-hidden secrets about to be unearthed?

A Dream Not Imagined is a non-magical fairytale novella based loosely on the classic tale of Cinderella.

Tentative Release Date: June 2015
