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!
