I liked Ash and her need for independence. It reminded me a lot of the soap operas of Dynasty or Dallas - only there is a lot more (kinky) sex and violence. The Constantines are one powerful family so as soon as Ash and Winston enter their bargain, the drama ensues. Part of the appeal of the Midnight Dynasty Universe is that there are major families dueling to rule New York City. The rest of the trilogy ties in lose adaptations of the classic fairy tale but things are a little darker and twisted. In a bid to escape to college, she winds up working and catching the attention of Winston Constantine. Ash has found herself on the outs of her family now that her father has married a wealthy, prominent doctor who has 3 sons herself. This series is a modern, dark retelling of Cinderella. They’re intended to be read in any order because each series focuses on two characters at a time but there are chronological events and character interactions throughout the universe. The Midnight Dynasty Universe is a collection of books (series and standalones) by different authors but feature the characters from a collective world. So, I stopped reading that book so I could start from the very beginning of this universe with this trilogy. Only when I tried to read another book ( Triple Threat) that sounded a little more interesting did I discover that this series was the first in the Midnight Dynasty Universe. I stumbled upon this series when I was browsing Kobo Plus Series I could read with my trial subscription. Publication Dates: October 2020 – April 2021
