Description

<b>She wishes she could fit in. But if humans discover her secret, her life will be no fairytale.</b>
Ellery “Elle” Milford needs to keep her fairy heritage undercover. But after her wicked stepmother refuses to let her go to the royal ball with the fully human kids, the sixteen-year-old half-breed defiantly parties with her smoke sprite bestie… who promptly gets arrested. And the only way to rescue her is for Elle to cut a deal with her fairy godmother: All the magic necessary to infiltrate the palace in exchange for assassinating the prince.
Determined not to harm a hair on the heir’s noble head, the reluctant hitwoman’s mission goes sideways when she falls for the very guy she’s supposed to kill. And after uncovering a plot to destroy every single supernatural creature, Elle is torn between the desires of her heart and the needs of her magical friends.
Can the headstrong half-fairy juggle a budding romance with a daring prison break before it all vanishes in a puff of smoke?
Cinderella Assassin is the first book in the charming Glass Slipper Adventure YA fantasy series. If you like spirited heroines, clever takes on classics, and unique blends of tech and wizardry, then you’ll love Allie Burton’s spellbinding story.

  • Unexpected surprise

    I downloaded this book because it was free, I had the time and I like fairy tale retellings. I wanted to have a book that wouldn’t stick me to it so I could multitask. I got the wrong book. Even though I’ve moved on from YA and the drama and hormones, this book was engaging. It wasn’t high prose but the spunky attitude of Elle, the world-building and the coming-of-age story captured my interest unwittingly. It’s a fun premise in a new world even if the teenage love drama can get a bit much.

  • A Must Read Fairytale Retelling

    I love fairytale retelling so when I saw a book that would be a Cinderella retelling I just had to read it. This first book in The Glass Slipper Adventure series is a delightful read. It has most of your normal Cinderella elements with a few new surprises. Our protagonist, Elle, is your typical Cinderella or so we thought. Elle will learn that her heritage is not what she thought it was. You see her father didn’t tell her everything about her mother and throughout the story Elle discovers the truth. I won’t tell you what that is as I don’t want to spoil the story for you. Elle is a very likeable and believable character. She will meet her prince, Rye, as all Cinderella’s do but don’t expect the same happily ever after for them (oops that could be a spoiler sorry). It is possible that they will get their happily ever after in book 2 or 3 but as I haven’t read them yet I can’t be sure. I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series. It has everything a fairytale retelling should have, the main premise of the story of Cinderella with a completely different storyline and a little bit of romance. If you enjoy fairytale retellings or fantasy books then this book is for you.

    While you think this may start as any other Cinderella story it isn't. There are twists intertwined in the story. There were a few grammatical errors but that didn't effect my enjoyment of the book. After reading book 1 I look forward to more in the series.
