So, after sending in the typo alert for Before Midnight's Amazon description, I finally got to finish reading it.  All I can say is........ wow.  I was not expecting that!  Talk about reworking the classic fairy tale.  Cinderella meets Beauty and the Beast meets new age Lycan/Were love story.  I wouldn't have expected three disparate ideas to work so well together but it had a beautiful flow!  With a wonderfully wicked stepmonster, a blessed *cough* cursed princely beast, a wildly loving and unusual King and Queen (who growl quite well when needed,) a beautiful but downtrodden maiden, and all the twists and turns of any modern day paranormal romance.  Throw in a quirky groom, a pixie with a magic wand, a vampire with a warning, and a few berserker uncles and you have a true odyssey.  The only characters that seemed flawed in any way were the step-sisters.  They just didn't flesh out for me.  That being said, their lack of full bodied character development in no way detracted from the fullness and lushness of the story.  Kudos for a fresh twist on an old tale or four.
