Entwined book review

Entwined by Heather Dixon
From book jacket:
Azalea is trapped. Just when she should feel that everything is before her . . . beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing . . . it's taken away. All of it.
The Keeper understands. He's trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. And so he extends an invitation.
Every night, Azalea and her eleven sisters may step through the enchanted passage in their room to dance in his silver forest.
But there is a cost.
The Keeper likes to keep things.
Azalea may not realize how tangled she is in his web until it is too late.

I would have read this book just because the cover was so beautiful!  I loved it!  It is a delightful retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairytale The Twelve Dancing Princesses.  Youth fiction with nothing inappropriate or too grown up in it (unlike say, Twilight).  Suspense, mystery, magic, and a little romance.  I recommend it for a light enjoyable read!  I give it four out of five stars.
