Slippers and Thieves. Fairy Tales of the Magicorum, #4

Years ago, Elle ? never call her Cinderella ? escaped her evil step family in order to build a new life for herself in Manhattan. Today, Elle's awful past is a distant memory. In fact, Elle even attends West Lake Prep, an exclusive high school where regular humans mix with members of the Magicorum, such as fairies, shifters and witches. Although she still must live in hiding from her evil step family, Elle always has found ways to get whatever her heart desires.
That is, until Alec Le Charme. Sure, Alec is the heir to the Le Charme dynasty of high-end jewelers, but he's also kind, charismatic, and has a knee-melting smile. Long story short, Elle has fallen for Alec, hard. Unfortunately, thanks to Elle's evil step family, the Le Charme heir is absolutely off limits. In fact, if Elle and Alec so much as kiss, it could start a magical chain reaction that would end in powerful factions of witches and wizards going to war.
As a result, Elle and Alec vow to stay friends, no matter what. Then West Lake Prep holds a masquerade ball. Identities get mixed up and forbidden kisses are finally shared. Time for the Magicorum to go to war, and for Elle to confront her hidden past in ways she never thought possible."I've been a huge Elle+Alec fan for a while now. My expectations for this novel were blown out of the way as Christina Bauer went above and beyond all the other books in this series.
I could not have enjoyed this book more!" - LinnilandFairy Tales of the Magicorum SeriesA series of modern fairy tales with sass, action and romance1. Wolves and Roses2. Moonlight and Midtown3.
