Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Book 1) by MK Harkins – Review by Beverly Finnie

Ashes by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ashes was cute! Another twist on “Cinderella.” I’ve read this author before and I like what is done with the fairytale we are used to. The spin the author puts on it. I encourage everyone to check this author out. Now for a little back story.
Ashley, your girl next-door type. Unfortunately she has an evil stepmother and two evil stepsisters. Still a minor and left in her stepmother’s care whe. Her father passed, Ashley is just trying to get through her senior year. This way she gets her trust, leaves for college, and never has to return to the wretched funeral home run by her stepmother. Seems easy, right? Not so fast because stepmonster Veronica wants to get her hands on Ashley’s trust. Only for her to be successful at that is sabotage.
Harry, a fallen rockstar, who has been banished by the courts to finish high school in a secluded Washington State town to make up for crimes past. Never did he expect to meet the one person who would turn his life upside down. Ashley is a breath of fresh air, unfortunately nobody wants them together. It’s even been as far as to be court ordered as a stipulation of his probation.
Will Ashley and Harry survive?
Does Veronica succeed?
Like I said early on, this author does a nice job of putting twists on the everyday fairytale. This book as well as the others written are highly recommended!
