Ashes By M.K. Harkins Review By Cheyenne Huffman

Ashes by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ashes is a bittersweet, modern retelling of the classic fairytale Cinderella.

And what a charming read it was! Putting a modern spin on classic fairytales can go either way, depending on how it’s done, but this book delivered very well!

You follow Ashley Adams who is just trying to make it through high school, graduate, and get away from her stepmother and step sisters. When her father passed away he left a trust fund to her, however, her stepmother has put some stipulations on her receiving it. Ashley must graduate on time, work at the funeral home, and much more!

Insert Harry, the prince- or prince of pop in this story- sent to Redmond High for part of his probation he is instantly drawn to Ashley from the moment he sees her, and Ashley.. well she finally has found someone she relates to. Things are about to get interesting. 😉

I don’t want to give any spoilers so that’s all I’m going to say, but definitely worth the read if you’re a fan of retellings.

I found it was a sweet, swoon-worthy take on a classic and the romance progressed more naturally than most fairytales which was a bonus! The cute plot, great characters, and an overall great retelling.
