    on What if Cinderella was a handsome Jewish man and the prince was a determined and beautiful heiress?
    I remember enjoying this one. And you’ve reminded me that I have an arc for the third book.

    I haven’t read this one but I got sucked into vampires early, probably around 2nd grade with a kids series...
