What if Cinderella was a vampire with a thirst for revenge? Elle Cinder didn’t ask to become a vampire. Someone murdered her parents before turning her against her will. In order to survive, Elle is forced to serve a highborn vampire family, and they’re cruel beyond belief. But Elle wants revenge, and she’ll bide her time, no matter how long it takes. When she discovers an invitation to a masquerade ball hosted by the monster who stole everything from her and left her for dead, Elle is determined to attend. But there’s one problem. Lowborn vampires aren’t invited. Elle is going to need to use all her wits, guile, and fighting skill to gate crash the ball and make her sire pay with his life. She'll also need the help of a renegade faerie godmother, her vampire hating brother, and a powerful witch with a sharp axe to grind. Revenge comes at a high and bloody price, but is Elle willing to pay it? Glass is a gritty and suspenseful dark fantasy fairytale retelling. If you can't get enough of murder on the dance floor, unhappy ever afters, and vengeful vampires, you'll love Glass.
Reviews with the most likes.
Glass by SW Millar is Cinderella but not like you've ever seen her before.
No swooning damsels. No handsome Prince Charming. No fairy godmother transforming pumpkins into carriages.
There is magic, and of course mayhem, but of the darkest and most brutal kind. You know you're in for a vicious ride when our dear Elle attends a public execution, one of her closest friends is killed in front of her, then she witnesses both her parents slain before she is dispatched of.
This is like the brothers Grimm had a love child with Anne Rice and decided to upend the fairy stories we grew up with.
Numerous other beloved characters make appearances – Tinkerbell, Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Thumbelina – but not as we know them.
Be prepared to have your stories and memories upended, as you dive into an extremely adult world of fairy tales.
It's viciously dark, relentless, twisted and brilliantly sinister, and it's only the beginning of his plans to warp all we knew and loved.
I can't wait for the next in the series!
