Cinders: Necessary Evil

Oh, you think you know Cinderella? She loses a shoe and in exchange gets a prince...

Here's a double book that tells all - the stepmother's tale vs. Ella's diary of the events. This is a dark fairy tale adaptation for a more adult (18+) audience in the vein of Sarah Pinborough’s Charm and Jackson Pearce’s Sweetly.

With a restaurant to run, Ella to boss around and a cannibalistic witch to befriend, Grace seems to have made the bargain of a life-time. If it wasn’t for one estranged husband, the lying mirrors and Ella’s teen romances getting completely out of hand. Also, there seems to be a part of the bargain Grace might be forgetting, while her son’s third birthday is approaching. Fast.

Ella used to love fairytales until she was in one - with all the chores, she has no time to even write in her diary!

Can Grace be the necessary evil that gets Ella her dream? What did she get in the bargain? And why are guardian angels and the Fae Queen involved? Again.
