From New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery comes a dark and twisted retelling of the beloved fairytale, Cinderella; Fragments of Ash.

My name is Ashley Ellis…

I was thirteen years old when my mother – retired supermodel, Tig – married Mosier Răumann, who was twice her age and the head of the Răumann crime family.

When I turned eighteen, my mother mysteriously died. Only then did I discover the dark plans my stepfather had in store for me all along; the debauched “work” he expected me to do.

With the help of my godfather, Gus, I have escaped from Mosier’s clutches, but his twin sons and henchmen have been tasked with hunting me down. And they will stop at nothing to return my virgin body to their father

…dead or alive.

Contemporary Romance. Due to profanity and very strong sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

My Review – 3.5 Stars

I’m a huge fan of fairytale retellings, which is why I jumped at the chance to review Fragments of Ash and to take part in the blog tour. This book is a wonderful read and I completely engulfed it. My only problem was the main character, who I didn’t like very much. Ashley had a rough life growing up, she wasn’t allowed to make her own choices and her step-father was a true monster. At times she is way too naive, and I felt like she just sat back and let someone else “protect her”.

Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a woman who wants to be a good wife for her husband and who wants to cook and clean all day. But it has to be her choice, and I felt like it wasn’t completely Ashley’s choice to be that. She was raised to be the perfect wife. She’s allowed to want other things, and in the back of my mind, I wanted her to have the choice.

That’s also what made this book so beautiful and impactful. Ashley didn’t have a choice, yet she was still a strong woman who took what she had and made the most of it. Her journey is filled with suspense and romance and Regnery crafted a beautiful fairytale.
