Review:
Retelling the story of Snow White, RaShelle Workman’s Blood and Snow is a fantastic start to this novelette series.
An awkward teen living in Salem,
Massachusetts, Snow White can’t quite live down her fairy tale name, especially
since her best friends are the seven guys living next door. Unlike the fairy
tale princess, she’s clumsy and doesn’t consider herself beautiful by any
means. But strange things are happening to Snow White. Odd visions keep her up
at night, and a trip to Boston will turn her not-a-fairy-tale existence into a
nightmare.
Blood
and Snow instantly throws the reader into the story and doesn’t let go. The
characters are quirky and adorable. I particularly loved Snow White and her
relationship with the seven brothers and their guardian. This seemingly happy
story slowly builds in the darkness of what, or who, is after Snow White. This
novelette is fast-paced, and I read it in two short sittings. The voice is
excellent, although I wish the last third had been drawn out a bit more.
Blood
and Snow by RaShelle Workman bleeds with intrigue, and I can’t wait to read
the second novelette in the series!
