Not your typical Cinderella story…
If she thought college applications were complicated, just wait until she catches feelings for the newest celebrity in town.
Ashley Adams doesn’t have time for haters. Already too busy dealing with dead
bodies after her stepmother purchased a mortuary, she is ready to put the lid
on her judgmental peers and finally bury her high school experience. But her focus
is shattered when a charming pop-star-turned-student needs her help evading his
crazed fans.
The last place heartthrob Harry James wants to be is back in school. Sentenced
to finish his senior year after a case of accidental arson, the singer longs to
return to the stage. But he never expected to meet a girl who could see through
the fame to the real person inside.
Surprised by the chemistry between them, Ashley is shocked when Harry gives her
the cold shoulder. But with his publicist forbidding him from dating her, Harry
must choose between fame or love.
Can Ashley and Harry survive the turmoil threatening to tear them apart?
Ashes is a fun and snarky standalone YA romance. If you like captivating
characters, emotional twists and turns, Fairies and Cinderella retellings, then
you’ll adore MK Harkins’ fast-paced tale.
*Recommended for readers 13+ (Some mild swearing and off-page violence)
Reviews:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I’m no stranger to
retellings of fairytales so my expectations were high. The story is beautifully
written with a fresh and modern take on the characters, whilst retaining the
true essence of the story.” Goodreads Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A delightful mix of finding love in the modern
world, with a bit of Fairytale magic mixed in. I thought the novel was
beautifully written. There really weren’t any plot holes that led to confusion.
The elements of a Cinderella retelling were masterfully placed, but not necessarily
made the center of the story.” Goodreads Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “What a great read! Everything about this book made me
want to keep reading! From the great characters, great story line and a
Cinderella twist!” NetGalley Reviewer
Why Should You Read This?
I loved that the book began with a playlist. I have been seeing it in several books now, however, I still appreciate the creativeness of authors who include it in their books. I, especially enjoy characters who I want to root for. Ashley and Harry sound so good together, that I wanted them to end up together. The plot is filled with twists and turns, and keeps the reader engaged. It is a definite recommendation for readers who prefer light reads and fairytale retellings.
