Cinders Like Glass by Clarissa Kae
5.0
Cinders like Glass is a retelling of the classic Cinderella story and the second in a series. It was my first book by Clarissa Kae but now I'm eager to read them all! I've always been a fan of fairy tales and folktales, so retellings are right up my alley.
The story is a out Ada, who lives with her adopted mother and brother, but is loved by neither. After her adopted father's death, her childhood stutter returns, making her life harder than it already was. With the Lady of the house constantly grieving and her brother off committing treason; it's up to Ada to keep the household afloat, which isn't easy as a women in those days.
When she gets dragged into the investigation against her brother, she becomes a suspect herself, having to prove her innocence towards the Dark Duke, aka the Duke of Girard. The story surprises us with one twist after the other, giving us clues to a mistery we can't yet solve.
As someone who doesn't have a loving mother and a brother I truly dislike, I understood exactly how Lady Ada, felt. Matching her with the Dark Duke was a perfect fit, if you ask me. I love it when women don't put up with a man's crap and speak their mind. Looking forward to reading the other books!
