Almost There (A Twisted Tale): A Twisted Tale
The 13th installment in the New York Times best-selling series asks: What if Tiana made a deal that changed everything?
Sometimes life in the Big Easy is tough. No one knows that better than Tiana, though she also believes that hard work can go a long way. But when the notorious Dr. Facilier backs her into a corner, she has no choice but to accept an offer that will alter the course of her life in an instant.
Soon Tiana finds herself in a new reality where all her deepest desires are realized: she finally gets her restaurant, her friends are safe and sound, and most miraculous of all, her beloved father is still alive. She's got everything she's ever wanted. . . .
But after a while, her hometown grows increasingly eerie, with new threats cropping up in unlikely places. Navigating through this strange new New Orleans, Tiana must work alongside Naveen and Charlotte to set things right―or risk losing everything she holds dear.

The story kept my attention from beginning to end! Loved the additions of realism vs what was shared in the film and the overall message.

Magnificent! Awesome! Superb! The superlatives could go on as to how thoroughly I enjoyed Farrah Rochon's twisted tale of my favorite Disney movie, The Princess and the Frog. I couldn't put it down, so I was awake until the wee hours of the morning reading until I finished the story. Kudos to Farrah Rochon; she did it again!

I stayed up late last night and read this all in one sitting! I loved seeing Tiana and Naveen fall for each other all over again, and Dr Facilier was truly scary! The stakes are high in this one, and it really put things in perspective as far as historical accuracy goes. You can tell that the author put a lot of love and research into this book, and it really shows. I've only read one other twisted tale, and not to knock that one down but this was so much better. I really hope the author continues to write for the series, as well as any future Princess and the Frog novels!

I have loved The Princess and the Frog my whole life, so of course I was a bit hesitant to step into this. There could have been many ways my favorite princess would be ruined, but I still had to get it, so as to support her and the author. Let me tell you, I did not at all regret it! I absolutely loved this book. You could tell the author loved the source material, as she very carefully weaved in bits from the movie that worked seamlessly with the plot. And there was such care put into representing the New Orleans we didn’t get to see in the movie, as well as care in representing what true Vodou was. I loved the inclusion of discussions surrounding racism, sexism, and classism—all things I personally thought the movie lacked. It was handled beautifully and painfully and, at many points, nearly brought me to tears. I love, love, love The Princess and the Frog, but even more than that, I love Tiana. And this book, this author, captured her in a way so authentic, I could hear every sentence in her voice. An absolutely beautiful book! I cannot wait to reread.
