Do not meddle with the Master’s daughters.
The words rattle around Jonas’s head. What is the punishment again? Death? Dismemberment? Jonas, the newest addition to the gardening staff, can’t recall the exact penalty for breaking the rule. What does it matter anyway? He would never dream of meddling with the Earl of Bromhurst’s haughty daughters.
Until he comes face to face with Lady Ariela, the eldest of the Master’s daughters.
Her elusive smile and open manner cause him to question his convictions. In no time, he’s drawn into Lady Ariela’s world of mystery and intrigue, a world where she and her sisters will do anything—including leaving twelve empty beds at midnight—to escape their father’s strict rules.
Only Jonas can uncover the truth and save them from their father’s wrath and their own folly, if he is willing to risk everything he’s ever worked for.
Midnight Sisters A Retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses eBook Sarah E Boucher
Sarah's first novel was Becoming Beauty and I adored it.When I heard through the grapevine (twitter) that she was publishing a second book I was SO excited. I bought it the night it was released and read it as fast as I could. Her story puts a twist on the traditional story of 12 Dancing Princesses.
The main character Jonas is a Gardner on the large estate and strives to please in all ways…
“Jonas—” I could see the words growing in his eyes. “You know the cardinal rule.” I wanted to roll my eyes, but kept my expression bland instead. Showing impatience had consequences for an undergardener. “Do not meddle with the Master’s daughters.” I had heard the words so many times my ears felt like they would start bleeding. If Higgins knew how pointless it was to fire them at me time and again, he’d save his breath. “Understood?” Higgins asked with one eyebrow cocked. The thought of running back to my family became more appealing with every upward slant of that eyebrow. “Yes, sir.”
-Excerpt from Midnight Sisters

Only Jonas can uncover the truth and save them from their father’s wrath and their own folly, if he is willing to risk everything he’s ever worked for.

Midnight Sisters A Retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses eBook Sarah E Boucher Reviews
MIDNIGHT SISTERS was a young adult historical romance based on the Grimm's The Twelve Dancing Princesses. It felt a little magical even though their was no magic involved. Overall, a sweet romance with a few exciting moments of danger and endearing characters.
I loved Jonas from the start, even if he is a lovesick fool. As the story is told from his perspective and his interaction with the sisters is limited, I didn't have a strong connection to his romantic interest, Ariela, although I liked her well enough. It was a unique twist on this fairy tale, as was the sisters' nightly expeditions. I really liked how the author really made this story her own and that I wasn't quite sure how it all would play out. Little twists and surprises were woven throughout, which I loved. There wasn't that instantaneous and easy relationship between Jonas and Ariela, nor was a relationship between them easily accepted, which felt realistic. The romance started rather naively (as they so often do), but gradually grew over time and then much more in the end when Jonas and Ariela depended upon each other.
In the end, was it what I wished for? This was a sweet and enjoyable read. A little on the lighter side, but with a happily-ever-after ending that left a smile on my face.
Content Some violence and slight innuendo, but clean.
Source Received a complimentary copy from the author, which did not require a review nor affect it in any way.
It's always fun to read a fairy tale retelling. I have to admit that the Twelve Dancing Princesses is probably my least favorite fairy tale and it's been re-done SO many times, I was worried going into this that I might not like it. BUT.
I love how Sarah Boucher changed this into a real life story instead of a fairy tale with magic. The story is told through the eyes of Jonas, a groundskeeper, which is also different. The story fit so much better for me. Everything felt new and different and I liked it! The twisty twists were just what I needed to connect on a better level with this story.
There are a lot of characters in this book- we really only get a glimpse of most of the sisters- not enough to really know them at all. They were just there in a fuzzy sort of way. The story really only involved a handful of people on a personal level which was fine by me.
Overall I thought this was a cute story. It's one that can be enjoyed by all ages- preteen to adult.
Content Clean- no swearing or sexual situations.
- I received a copy of this book from the author. A favorable was not required and all opinions expressed are my own.
I always feel so young at heart when I read a fairytale or a fairytale retelling. I love the magical romance, the adventure, and the moments of danger--these situations engage my imagination. I've always loved the story of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and really appreciated the differences and unique circumstances and events in this variation.
Ariela is the eldest sister and she and gardener, Jonas, form a forbidden friendship. The sisters each want independence from their overprotective father and find a way to escape for periods of time. I feel the reader gets to know Jonas best, as the story is told in first person, from his point-of-view, but we are also treated to Ariela's character. The other sisters didn't make huge appearances, but it's still fun to catch the glimpses of them and their personalities.
The mystery and peril in this story is engaging. I kept wondering how things would play out because it was different than the original. It was fun to keep guessing and more often than not, I was surprised. I guess I want a new BFF every time I read a book and would have loved to get to know the characters a little better--more in depth. If you love original fairytale retellings, then check this one out.
Content a couple of mild swear words; mild romance; mild violence.
*I received a complimentary copy. All thoughts and opinions are solely my own.*
Really enjoyed Sarah's second novel Becoming Beauty was good, Midnight Sisters is better! Her re-imaginings of these fairy tales describe people who have problems and as the story progresses, you watch the characters grow as they deal with their difficulties.. Great characters, enjoyable story, fun twists in the plot. Check it out for yourself!
Sarah's first novel was Becoming Beauty and I adored it.
When I heard through the grapevine (twitter) that she was publishing a second book I was SO excited. I bought it the night it was released and read it as fast as I could. Her story puts a twist on the traditional story of 12 Dancing Princesses.
The main character Jonas is a Gardner on the large estate and strives to please in all ways…
“Jonas—” I could see the words growing in his eyes. “You know the cardinal rule.” I wanted to roll my eyes, but kept my expression bland instead. Showing impatience had consequences for an undergardener. “Do not meddle with the Master’s daughters.” I had heard the words so many times my ears felt like they would start bleeding. If Higgins knew how pointless it was to fire them at me time and again, he’d save his breath. “Understood?” Higgins asked with one eyebrow cocked. The thought of running back to my family became more appealing with every upward slant of that eyebrow. “Yes, sir.”
-Excerpt from Midnight Sisters
But, then Jonas comes face to face with Lady Ariela .
Her elusive smile and open manner cause him to question his convictions. In no time, he’s drawn into Lady Ariela’s world of mystery and intrigue, a world where she and her sisters will do anything— including leaving twelve empty beds at midnight—to escape their father’s strict rules.
Only Jonas can uncover the truth and save them from their father’s wrath and their own folly, if he is willing to risk everything he’s ever worked for.
