I'm a firm believer that it's a rare re-telling that's better than the original. This is not that rare re-telling. In general, I'm 'meh' about fairy tales anyway, at least as an adult, though I can't remember any I loved as a kid either. Even in my innocent youth I lacked romance. But I neede...
Book Review Poison Poison contains all the elements of the classic Snow White fairy tale but has a lot of unexpected twists and turns, turning this tale into a dark, sexy and brutal Snow White that is not to be forgotten. The story is told from the evil stepmother’s point of view, it becomes app...
So red and shiny and gorgeous in real life. Terrific tale inside as well.

Beautiful, kind and demure. Exactly what he’d always wanted. A perfect princess. Only nothing is quite as it seems in Sarah Pinborough’s retelling of the classic fairy tale of Snow White and the seven dwarves.I’ll start this with a short excursion into the surrounding circumstances of my reading of ...
I love fairytale retellings. When I saw this I knew straight away that I'd read it. This is told mostly from Snow Whites stepmothers, the evil queen, POV. She is only a few years older than Snow White and was forced to marry the king. She is unhappy and extremely jealous of Snow. Poison is dark, del...
This is not your Disney fairy tale. It is much, much better. And much more wicked. My full review is here:http://wildersbookreview.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/poison-by-sarah-pinborough.html
Sarah Pinborough has woven a wonderful little tale based on the "Snow White" original fairytale..where our heroine is not quite as snowy and white as she once was, and the evil Queen has hidden depths and an agenda not seen in the wonderful world of Disney. I will caution - this is for adults, don't...
