A dark mafia retelling of Snow White. Perfect for fans of H D Carlton, Emily McIntire and Penelope Douglas.

I never wanted to be part of his life. I am the law, and he is everything I’ve vowed against.

But every time I see him, I can’t help but imagine what I want him to do to me.

RED AS BLOOD
He has a reputation. A dark possessive side.
I know he’d hurt me. But maybe that’s what I want…

WHITE AS SNOW
I never wanted to hurt her. She should’ve known to stay away from me.
But there’s something about her innocence that I desire.
She’s everything my fiancée is not.
But my fiancée is a jealous woman. She’s also powerful.

I know where my loyalties should lie, but the taste of purity is too tempting. Just one drop and I promise, that’ll be enough…


My Review: DNF

Uh...no. Absolutely not. 

Generally, I'm not the biggest fan of Snow White but I love a good retelling and dark mafia, so I had to give it a chance. Well, I rarely say it, but I regret reading this one. 

I've never been so bored and hated a book at the same time. This book was trying too hard and had way too much stuff going on and filler that it just made it worse. 

The pace was a bit slow, the characters didn't grasp me at all and I wanted to skip over so much of this book.  I ended up giving up before the halfway mark. There was no way I was going to be able to force myself through this horrible mess.
