Yes, the witch in this book is so evil, that is what she threatens the hero with. That's different. I never saw The Frog Prince as a potential dinner before.This was a really cute take on the fairy tale, with some Cinderella thrown in (and maybe a bit of "The Silence of the Lambs".). Fast read, fun, very enjoyable.What I liked:Luc - for a spoiled brat prince, he was pretty cool.Chloe - bright and tough and really likeableStella and Georgine - yes, the sisters are evil, but that makes it fun. Especially when Chloe starts putting them in their places ("remember,  I know where you sleep"...mwahahahahaha!).What I wasn't crazy about:Sometimes Chloe (16, then 29) spoke as if she were a 45-year old woman living in 19th century London, not a young adult living in 21st century Beverly HillsAlbert - quite the occasionally very clueless father. Needed to be smacked around a bit.The reasons for keeping the MCs apart for 13 years. It was just wrong.The royal family's last name was Mercury. Sorry, only Freddie gets to have that last name. Forever.But all in all, lots of fun, glad I read it, and happy to have discovered a really good author.
