Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Book 1) by MK Harkins – Review by Callie LaMarche

Ashes is a Cinderella retelling of the classic fairytale story we all know. Ashley has been uprooted by her stepmother, Veronica, after the death of her father with her two step sisters. Veronica spent the inheritance on opening up a funeral home where Ashley takes care in preparing the dead bodies. Ashley has to survive one more year to graduate high school and get the money left behind by her dad to go to college.

Harry is a famous singer that burned down his previous high school with his best friend and is on probation at Ashley’s school. The first time they meet it turns out that they have more in common then they think.

I loved Ashley for being a strong character even with all the negative around her. She sticks up for herself and her friend. Harry is misunderstood and his past is not quite what it seems. The point of view switches between Ashley and Harry and helps to reveal their past. They have to deal with the controlling people in their lives while falling in love and trying to make their new relationship work.
