Sierra Monroe and her sister, Cecily, never did have it easy. Bounced from one abusive foster home to another, the sisters could only rely on one thing - each other. Sierra’s only focus in her short life has been to take care of Cecily. Even that becomes difficult when a group of odd strangers appears in the corner booth of the crummy diner where Sierra works herself half to death. The strangers seem to pop up everywhere, including the middle of the forest where the sisters hunted.
Frustrated by the beast inside, Sierra wants nothing more than to rid herself of the pesky wolf, but alas, her prayers go unanswered. In fact, it seems her problems are compounded by the man who insists she and Cecily are descended from royalty and the nieces of the wicked Cinderella.
Despite her troubled life, Sierra knows when she’s met a crazy person and does her best to do what she’s always done - protect Cecily. She soon learns that might be more difficult a task with new players in the game. In an attempt to rid herself of the band of lunatics, once and for all, Sierra agrees to hear them out. However, she never anticipated their story might match her own dreams. Nor did she expect a fun, new power - burning things to ash with her touch.
As more of her past is uncovered, Sierra discovers there’s no going back to the life she knew. Before she can process what she barely believes to be true, Sierra finds herself right in the middle of a centuries-old war against evil. With danger lurking around every corner, she must make a choice - accept her role and end the reign of a treacherous queen or turn her back on them and never remember who she was.
Lives are on the line as Sierra is tasked with a huge responsibility, but as usual, she finds a way to make it work...because, being the hero of her own story is all she’s ever know.
The sequel to Snow Kissed will take you deeper into the darkness and add many twists to the already haunting tale of the Black Forest.

Language- None
Violence- PG13- normal to genre, nothing overly graphic, abuse mentioned but not in depth
Sexual Content- PG - normal cozy romance with kissing and snuggles, no bedroom scenes to warn of
I think technically these could be read on their own but I would also say they are much better and less confusing together and in order. So far book one lead to the this one very smoothly without ending on a huge cliffhanger (which I really appreciate), and book two ends with the same sort of lead into book three. I really am enjoying this very uniquely flipped fairy tale retelling that is really barely recognizable to the original stories other then some of the names. The author is fantastic at world building and bring characters into the stories that are relatable. I definitely had my favorite characters and then the villains are wonderfully twisted. In book two there's an added mystery thread in that ties the series together and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all unravels. Bottom line, if you like the fairy tale retellings and clean reads then this series is a perfect fit.
The narrator did a great job (4🌟) with the voices and was fun to listen to, I preferred listening at 1.2x speed.
**(Chapter 3/prologue & chapter 9- has some sound errors that weren't edited out, found in the digital chapters not book chapters)

There were a few places where editing failed to delete the “mistake” sections, so it was a little jarring when that happened, but I enjoyed this listen.

This is not just another Cinderella story. There are some great nods to elements of the traditional fairy tale, but like the first in this series, this is about as far from a traditional retelling as you can get and so far fractured as to be nearly unrecognizable. Conspiracies, heists, old curses and new friends all come together to create a new story that re-frames everything you thought you knew about Cinderella.
Sierra and Cecily's story is separate, new setting etc from book 1 BUT the old gang is back. Lots of familiar faces and an excursion to the Black Forest where we learn more about what ties them all together and get a bit more of how things are going for the characters from book 1 some of whom have a lot to adjust to! Highly recommend reading this series in order. It was a bit more of a difficult read for me, went darker than book 1 but stayed very authentic. Aletha Duncan did an excellent job narrating, her voice is clear and easy to listen to.
fabulous, slightly disturbing unexpected fractured

The narration is very well done by Aletha Duncan. Her dynamic voice, excellent modulation and cadence brought each of the characters to life. (There were a few places with errors that weren't edited or corrected that pulled me a bit out of the story.) I can honestly say that I highly recommend this hilarious and sweet fractured fairytale!
Enchanting!
