⭐⭐⭐☆
Snow White reimagined in a modern setting. Thoroughly
interesting premise and a fairly interesting read.
Luma White is eighteen, has an undisclosed amount in a trust
fund, is gorgeous and has a prestigious modelling agency courting her. All
these things added together tip her stepmom, Tabitha over the edge and she
orders her trusted bodyguard, Antonio to kill Luma. Since the story is Snow
White, there are few changes to the old favourite – except one big one. Malone
does away with the character of Prince Charming. Instead she has one of the hard-working
seven dwarfs (not quite dwarves here…quite strapping, on the contrary) slip
into the role of the love interest. The dwarves in this book are a family of lumberjacks
and the youngest of them is their baby sister, Charlie, nineteen.
The attraction and chemistry between Luma and Charlie is
excellent and the sex, when it happens, is also good. Luma is so, so likeable
and really carries the book on her personality. Tabitha is fairy-tale-is OTT in
her villainy.
This book is a short, quick, fun read.
