I started reading this collection from the 3rd book and I absolutely loved it but I thought that because I knew what would become of the characters I wouldn't like this one. Boy was I wrong. I have loved every second of it. I love the first perception that Blanche has of Bear and how that changes in a kind of beauty-and-the-beast-what-makes-you-love-someone-is-what's-inside way. It is just so great. I love this author. I wish she would publish more books because she is so talented. I like the mystery I like the vibe, I like the relatable, real, honest romance... I loved it all.

Barely any plot, almost no character building, poor writing. Reads like a middle schooler wrote it and feels like an attempt to make a children's moral story relatable to teenagers but fails horribly. don't read.

Written by a Catholic and set in NYC, this book takes the plot of a fairy tale and weaves it into a contemporary story.

This was recommended by a friend, at true to her own review, it was a nice, innocent retelling of Snow White and Rose Red. The book is starting to sound a bit dated, but the character building stays strong. Sometimes their innocence got a bit on my nerves, but the pace was good and it really picked up towards the end! This is a great recommendation for teens with strict, religious parents, who want their teen to read something less violent than "Those Hunger Games". There is definite Christian references and the language is kept clean. The violence and drug references are part of the plot, but nothing over PG.
