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.

"This book is probably what you can imagine it would be. So basically, the book follows Tiana as if she made a deal with the Shadow Man and what those repercussion would look like, as well as how her life would change if she took the deal. It does very much read like the movie as far as the adventure and her friends but it is a very different storyline than the movie, as well as a different adventure and a different problem to overcome overall. I think it’s a good, quick read— I read it in 3 days, it was interesting though, I’ll probably buy more from the collection. I think there’s 13 books in the series, again they are all unrelated and recreate either the ending or the whole story based on the princess/ villain/ or story. I would recommend if you’re not looking for anything too deep, again it feels like I was just reading a Disney movie continuation. I love Disney so it wasn’t a problem for me but it was a way less mentally taxing book"
"I might be biased, because The Princess And The Frog is my favorite Disney movie, but this is the best/my favorite Twisted Tale book. I love how much the characters were fleshed out, how the setting was used, and even how a lot of the subjects were brought up. The stakes were palpable, the tone was right, and it was a very well-acted book. 10/10"
"Very cute story, enjoyed the multiple pov storylines! Made me fall in love with The Princess and the Frog all over again"

"Almost there is a great what if to continue the story of Tiana's adventure. A deal that would cause both loss and joy and the consequences that follows. This book excells at showing how Tiana's characteristics of goodness, hard work, and independence, give her the courage to tackle any situation. But it also focuses on the fact that accepting help does not make you weak and provides a different kind of strength. <br/>It was an overall great read."
