My Thoughts
I love fairytale retellings so when I received this review request I was incredibly happy. I have read several retellings and really enjoyed most of them. This one had my hoped pretty high!
While I wouldn't say that this one is my favorite, it did turn out to be pretty good. It is a short book so it didn't take long to finish at all. The fun factor doesn't hurt either so that makes it a quicker read.
There is an unexpected plot twist towards the end which makes it an even more interesting read. There is mystery and a bit of romance that keep you intrigued and wanting to keep those pages turning. Not a bad book at all!
*Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
