Cinderella’s Inferno (Cinderella, Necromancer #2)
F.M. Boughan
Synopsis
Purity cannot abide the darkness.
It’s been two years since Ellison defeated
her stepsisters and sent her evil stepmother back into the Abyss.
Though she’s learning to control her dark
magic and has spent time traveling with Prince William and bringing peace to
the kingdom, one fact remains. She is a necromancer and he is a paladin of
light. And so, the king refuses to give his blessing for them to marry.
To appease his father, William has begun to
avoid her. But when even her younger brother Edward grows distant, Ellison
learns her mother’s spirit has been visiting Edward in secret, threatening to
overwhelm him with her own loneliness and longing. When Ellison accidentally
touches her mother’s spirit, her tainted touch condemns her mother’s spirit to
eternal damnation.
Ellison resolves to descend into hell to
save her mother’s soul and bring her physical body back to the world of the
living. William hopes this good deed will bring Ellison into favor and finally
allow them to be wed.
But the journey through hell is fraught
with peril. Temptations abound and the demons Ellison sent back to the Abyss
are thirsty for revenge.
Evil cannot be defeated without
sacrifice—but when that sacrifice means choosing between the ones Ellison loves
and her very own life, how far is she willing to go to make her family whole
again?

When I found out F. M.
Boughan was bringing out a sequel to her Cinderella re-telling I'll
admit I was a little excited. It didn't disappoint. I'll start by saying
this is a fantasy retelling with magic and a dark twist. Ellison has
met the prince and defeated evil. Now she's ready for her happily ever
after, but it obviously is not that simple. Ellison has her father and
brother back but magic is haunting her family happiness. Her engagement
to the prince isn't going as smoothly as she would like. In fact,
Ellison finds herself behind bars. All is not as it seems. Darkness and
magic are at the heart of this story. True love will win in the end, but
the journey will take us to hell and back.
This is a gritty read that is true to its core. The good, the bad and the ugly. It's hard to explain a book with so many twists without giving anything away. If you liked the first book this one will not disappoint. 4 stars out of 5.

Other Books in the Series
Cinderella, Necromancer is Chime meets Anna Dressed in Blood and was inspired by a real medieval grimoire of necromancy from 15th-century Germany.
Ellison lost her mother at an early age. But since then, her father has found love again. He's happy and doesn't quite notice that Ellison does not get along with his new wife or her mean daughters. When Ellison discovers a necromantic tome while traveling the secret passages of her father's mansion, she wonders if it could be the key to her freedom. Until then, she must master her dark new power, even as her stepmother makes her a servant in her own home. And when her younger brother falls incurably ill, Ellison will do anything to ease his pain, including falling prey to her stepmother and stepsisters' every whim and fancy.
Stumbling into a chance meeting of Prince William during a secret visit to her mother's grave feels like a trick of fate when her stepmother refuses to allow Ellison to attend a palace festival. But what if Ellison could see the kind and handsome prince once more? What if she could attend the festival? What if she could have everything she ever wanted and deserved by conjuring spirits to take revenge on her cruel stepmother?
As Ellison's power grows, she loses control over the evil spirits meant to do her bidding. And as they begin to exert their own power over Ellison, she will have to decide whether it is she or her stepmother who is the true monster.
