A spicy retelling of the Nutcracker with magic and mischief sounded right up my alley. This book was not for me. While the spice was delightful, the audiobook narrator did not do much to reflect the differences in the main character's voices. It felt very easy to forget who was supposed to be narrating. The MMCs felt much more fleshed out and interesting, but the Clara and Louisa, despite their differences, feel flat for me. Maybe the sequel will be better?
