"Promises of Gold" by Serena Clarke is a retake on the fairytale of Rumpelstilkin. I was kept reading because I just had to seen how it ended. I really did like it.  This is a love story with heroes and evil villains. I think the ending will surprise most readers. It did me but it was a sweet surprise. I think I would like to read more retakes of the fairytales if Serena Clarke decides to write any. This story is different from the original version but it still covers the gold from straw, guessing the real name of the hero and etc. 

I recommend this book to readers who likes fairy tales with a twist. 

I received a complimentary copy and these opinions are my own.
