White as Frost

Rose moves into a castle after her mother marries a king. Neeve is now her step sister and she hopes they will become friends. That isn't an easy task however. Their interests and upbringings were very different. Rose was determined to learn about the mysterious step sister & her trips into the dark wood. She followed her and discovered some amazing secrets that must not be revealed. I love the characters & the creatures. Books by Anthea are always fantastic..

Superb. This novel had wonderful pacing of the plot. I love how fluid it was and that it wasn't so drawn out with the need to report every single day individually. I am intrigued to where this is all going and what it all means.

Now I love fairytale retellings and everything fantasy related but man! This was amazing! Rose Red and Snow White is not a fairytale I'm very familiar with but after devouring this book I will be going back and reading all Sharp's previous books involving the Darkwood and Dark Elves.

Extremely entertaining and had such great pacing. The book is from Rose's perspective and starts out when she is 13 and ends when she is 16. So much happens and it was extremely hard to put down. I can't wait for book 2. After that ending I'm on pins and needles.

I loved the twists throughout to. I thought I figured things out but -boom- plot twist! Kept it fresh and kept the pages flying by.

Clean read, young adult with lots of fantasy elements including, elves, magic, magical creatures and sorcery. Thought I had the friends to lovers figured out but young love is a fickle thing...can't wait to see where these 4 shake out.

A gorgeous fairytale retelling by one genius of a wordsmith! I really enjoyed this!

If you love elves, creatures of the forest, and struggling heroines, you will love this book! Rose struggles with her lack of knowledge, magic and belonging. Lots of secrets to uncover.
