This book really ramped up the drama and suspense. The last quarter of the book tokes this adventure to a whole new unexpected level.

We got to see old characters return. New characters to fall in love with, and experience a whole new level to the world Santos has created.

Beware, the end of this book will leave you wanting more.

I LOVE a good fairy tale retelling. This one is a Snow White Retelling, but it's not like any retelling you have read before. This is the 2nd in the Fairy Tales with a Bite series, but the cool thing unlike some other 'retelling series', these ones are interlocked. I haven't read book 1, but you sure bet I am going to read it as soon as I can!!!!

You know the story, Snow's mom is dead, she has an evil stepmother that wants to kill her, but there are some things you don't know. Her dad is still alive, and Snow will be courted by supernatural beings. We have magic, vampires, werewolves, fae, and BELLE!!! What book isn't great when BELLE is in it?!?!!?

Come along to Snow's kingdom and find out what makes hers so amazing and see if she can find love, all before her stepmother tries to off her, and some more exciting events await you!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Snow White is not one of my favorite classic tales but this retelling was really good! Lots of romance with a darker twist.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Well, this was disappointing. I got this book for free on Amazon and hoped it would be enough of a standalone to read it without starting by the first book. You're kind of missing out if you do, but I can't say I'm going to read the first book or any other books in the series after this. I thought the synopsis was pretty intriguing (Snow White + Vampires is honestly a great combo, let's be real), but the prose was poor and reminded me a little too much of how I would write at 14, the characters were flat, the dialogue was juvenile, and the overall pacing and blocking of the scenes just made me confused more than anything else. Granted, I skimmed through the book because I knew it was on the shorter side and I wanted to be done with it, but heh. It's a shame, because I think there's really a good story in there somewhere, but it didn't really deliver.
