Fairest of All is a dark, steamy M/M romance between a tough, detached bounty hunter and a sweet, damaged beauty with a heart of gold in the Fallen Fairytales series.

Zane DeWitt is the poster child for traumatic pasts. He’s also the epitome of selflessness, resilience, and determination. Now that he’s finally away from the ones who hurt him, it’s time to reclaim his family’s good name. And seek revenge, of course.
Holter Todd would rather forget everything that brought him to this point in life. He doesn’t need friends or family. He’s good at what he does. If a few of his jobs take him across the line of morality, so be it.
Holter is hired to kill Zane, but he quickly switches his focus to the most deserving target. What happens next leads the two men on a twisting path toward healing and retribution. With the help of their found family, they find their happily ever after along the way.
Fallen Fairytales is a dark M/M romance, multi-author series. Each book may be read as a standalone, but go ahead and load up your Kindle, kick back, and enjoy sexy men, shenanigans, and deliciously dark fairytale retellings.

Escape into addictive, sexy, emotional M/M romance.

A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing teens, and wondering how she and her husband of over two decades haven't driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.

She loves chocolate, hot tea, sweet wine with friends, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don’t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.

A.D. uses she/they pronouns.

Great story

I absolutely loved this story. That said please mind the trigger warnings. This is a dark MM retelling of Snow White with a lot of twists and turns. I absolutely adored Zane and I just wanted to hug him. I was so happy to see him with Holt. This was an amazing story that I couldn’t put down.

Twisted Snow White retelling

Zane and Holt have both suffered through traumatic childhoods but that's where the similarities end.
Zane is strong, resilient, has kept a tender heart and kindness for others.
Holt has become distant, cold and bitter in order to protect himself.
When Holt accepts a bounty to end Zane he quickly realizes that he's caught in a web of deceit.
Together they turn the tables on the bad guys while helping the good ones.

I loved Fairest of All by A.D. Ellis. It's part of the Fallen Fairytales series. I loved Holt and Zane. I loved how slow and patient Holt was with Zane in their bedroom activities. I loved Zane's drag queen persona Mira-Mira. I loved what happened to his evil stepmother, Hillary. Overall, I thought it was a great mm adaptation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

To be fair, this isn't the type of book that I would usually choose to read. But the Publishers Description grabbed my attention. This is a dark version of Snow White and it is beautifully written. This is the story of Zane DeWitt and Holter Todd. Zane and Holt meet in an alley where Zane is almost beaten to death and Holt helps him. The unusual part is that Holt was hired to kill Zane by his step mother. Holt immediately realized that there was more to the request than meets the eye. He decides to aid Zane and what a great decision that turns out to be. I loved how Holt's seven other roommates all bond together to help Zane. Even when Zane tells them his plan for revenge and retribution, they are still all in. I loved seeing the relationship between Zane and Holt slowly grow. After all the hell that Zane has been through, it was great to see him have a little happiness and freedom for a change. I also liked that Zane was encouraged to seek counselling for his trauma. Your heart will break when you hear about the hell that he has lived through. In spite of that, he is still a kind and warm person to others. This is their story. I really loved his book. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I am not usually a "dark story" person but this book was very well written and easy to read. This book has set the bar fairly high for the rest of the Fallen Fairytales series.

Not-so-Dark Fairytale

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024

I’ve put off reviewing this book for a bit because I’m extremely torn. The book, by itself, being a fairytale retelling is sweet with some really dark aspects thrown in. However, this was advertised as a “dark fairytale,” which is what I was expecting; and that’s not what I got. I was expecting gritty and dangerous, with some downright evil thrown in (to the main plotline), but the revenge seemed to fizzle out, and Holt softened up like butter.

Yes, there are terrible things the author deals with in decent ways, so pay attention to the TWs if you’re a sensitive reader. But, I didn’t find this any darker than some of my other crime-based books that deal with sensitive subjects. I was hoping for Ariana Nash's dark, but what I got was fairytale sweetness. I guess that’s to be expected, so I digress.

The story itself is based on the aftermath of the dark deeds of the evil queen and the people’s hands she puts Zane into, as well as the abuse Holt witnessed as a child influencing his decisions and actions as an adult. Holt becomes a bounty hunter/hitman trusting no one, while Zane ends up a survivor of past assault/trafficking at the whims of his step-mother until he’s almost murdered by Holt on his 25th birthday by order of the queen (step-mommy-dearest). Once Holt brings Zane back to The Woods and introduces him to the seven interesting men he shares an apartment building with, it’s decided revenge is the course of action to be taken.

Unfortunately, if you’re in it for the “dark” fairytale aspect like me, that’s about where that aspect ends. We start seeing Zane rebuild his life through his new job and drag persona, which are both amazing, so don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy the rest of the story; it just wasn’t what I was looking for when I picked this book up, so it was a bit of a letdown. There is a bit of discussion of the past abuse throughout, as well as a scene where substance abuse is attempted as a crutch for seduction; so as I said, heed the TWs. Oh, and one memorable present Holt sends the stepmother as proof of Zane’s death.

As with all fairytales, our couple finds their happily ever after. It comes after a torture session and sending a bunch of bad guys to the cops (yay darkness!), but what Zane doesn’t know doesn’t hurt him. As I said, there were some dark elements and aspects thrown in, but I can’t in good conscience call this a “dark” fairytale. It is an enjoyable adaptation of Snow White.

Happy reading!.

An Amazing Dark Romance!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 3, 2024

In Fairest of All, we meet Zane DeWitt, a young man with a terrible past. When his evil stepmother who controls his life decides she needs him gone, Holter Todd is tasked with ending Zane’s life - but will Holt be able to carry out this heinous crime?

This is my first MM romance and one of my first retellings - and I LOVED IT!! Ellis’s writing style is amazing, she drew me in from the very first page and the storytelling is so poetic it felt like I was just reading a slightly different version of Snow White. I absolutely loved Zane and Holt’s relationship, their complete trust and ability to scare off their demons was honestly inspiring. I ADORE Mira Mira and her personality, she has 1000% convinced me I need to go to a drag show!

At 194 pages long, this took me just over two hours to read. I highly recommend it to any romance fan. Please note, that there are several adult scenes containing sexual acts and mention of off-page sexual assault, r*pe and drug use.

9/10

I really enjoyed this dark fairytale retelling, Holt was so perfect for Zane and Zane was so special, sweet and strong after everything he’d been through, I loved the other guys and how important family was to them, I’m really glad that all the bad guys got what they deserved especially Hilary.
