Reviews for Midnight For Morgana
"Ms. Martin weaves a tale of a new take on Cinderella. Instead of living happily ever with her prince, the two evil sisters have something different in mind for Morgana. Something not nearly as pleasant. The beginning is much like the Cinderella story where the wicked sisters go off to the Fair and leave poor Morgana at home to do their bidding. An interesting take on this once popular fairy tale. " - Reader reviews, Amazon
