Originally reviewed for Tea and BookThere is just something twisted in the mind of Marina Miles and I love it. The woman has this crazed ability to take a fairytale, add some pnr, twist it all together and call it a romance.This time she based her story on Swan Lake with just a touch of The Little Mermaid tossed in.. old love vs New love. Outer beauty vs inner beauty..add a witch and a deadlock and all that is missing is a lion. Warlocke's Dance is a novella teasing us with some of the characters in her Cursed Prince Series and I promise it was beautifully done.Giselle Swenov was a beautiful and famous opera singer. Defying her well to do family she is set to Marry her true live, an impoverished minor warlock. Missing her family on this special day she leans on a local benefactor fir familial support. Except there is nothing decent about this witch. For reasons of her own she stole Giselle's voice and turned her into an ancient hag. When Giselle walked down the aisle hoping against hope that her beloved recognized her, he had her tossed out of the church.Lucian Ivanu was left at the alter by the live of his life. While his financial status has improved, he has hardened his heart and turned his back on his heritage. No longer the gentle lover he is ready to have a "traditional" marriage with no live involved. When the same hag appears at his betrothal ball he realizes just who it is. Fearing to trust his heart he refuses to accept that only he has the power to reverse the spell.Of course there is more to the plot..evil always lurks in the background.. Lucian and Giselle must chose the true power of love if they are even to have a chance at reversing the spell.Another wonderful Miles adaption of a beloved story. Great job!ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of Warlocke's Dance, provided by netgalley
