ADVERTISEMENT {REVIEW}
I received this book as a review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. A big thank you goes here to Scholastic Australia.
From her lonely childhood, to her iconic fashion choices, to that fateful car crash (you know the one), Cruella tells all in this marvelous memoir of a woman doomed. Even the cruelest villains have best friends, true loves, and daring dreams. Now it's Cruella's turn to share hers.
This latest novel by the author of the wildly popular and darkly fascinating Villains series brings readers a tale told by the Evil Thing herself--a tale of the complicated bonds of female friendship, of mothers and daughters, and of burning, destructive desire.
After all, nothing is as simple as black and white.

This cover couldn't have been chosen any better. It perfectly reflects the whole mood of the story.
Serena Valentino's writing style is stunning as always. With her words, she paints a perfect evil portrait of one of my all-time-favourite villains: Cruella De Vil. This story has been spellbinding, emotional, surprising, and adventurous. The author also chose a great pacing for this story. This book is easy to read and easily suitable for younger readers as well as older Disney lovers.
The characters instantly felt familiar and exactly like I remembered them from the movies. Their broad variety of character traits always compelled me and I loved the feeling of keeping them company on their journey.
I can absolutely recommend this book to all you Cruella De Vil fans out there. Evil Thing by Serena Valentino has been an absolute reading highlight for me and I can't wait to read more from this author.
