Frost by Kaitlyn Davis
Apparently this is a retelling so I will be basing my verdict purely on that. It’s also a retelling you don’t see very often; Pandora’s box. It also has vampires, which may have had their day, but I do still enjoy the odd vampire book every now and then.
This book will still sit in the ‘maybe read’ collection on my Kindle, but it is one I’ll keep on my Goodreads…for now.
Verdict: keep
Synopsis: All vampire thief Pandora Scott wants to do is put her old life behind her. That’s a lot easier said than done when a supernaturally enhanced tracker, who also happens to be her ex-boyfriend, is determined to hunt her down.
After four years of running, she’s finally been caught — and that’s not even the worst part.
When her latest heist goes south, the head vampire of New York lays a price on her head for snatching a prized-possession from his personal vault. Now she has two choices — rely on Jax, the boy who broke her heart, or accept help from Sam, a mysterious vampire who knows more than he’s letting on.
Naturally, she goes with secret option number three — run like hell.
But this time, escape won’t be so easy. Because even a super-speedy vampire with the ability to disappear can’t outrun her own destiny…
Blood and Snow by RaShelle Workman
I won’t lie, the synopsis for this sounds a little cringeworthy, but I love a retelling and this one is pretty short so that’s two points in its favour.
Also, you don’t come across Snow White retellings very often so I’m very intrigued to see how this plays out. Will the dwarfs be present? Maybe, this is a magical academy book. Which I still really love. Is that cringe? I’m probably too old to still be loving them, but, hey reading is for escapism and a magical school is the biggest form of escapism for me.
Verdict: keep
Synopsis: The Seven Magics Academy is a secret school for the supernatural. Snow White knows nothing about it, but that’s about to change. Because fairytales are real, but before the happily ever after, there will be blood.
Snow White is an ordinary girl living next door to seven extraordinarily hot guys. Her greatest aspirations while attending her first year at the academy? Kiss the one she’s crushing on and pass chemistry. But when the mysterious Chace Charming joins the school, everything changes.
Snow didn’t plan on being bitten. She didn’t plan on becoming something not quite human.
Now’s she’s suddenly part of a world full of supernaturals and the greatest of them all is after Snow because she’s the fairest in the land. What the hell?
With the help of her best friend and the guys, Snow must find a way to pass her first year without killing anyone while she rejects the vampire queen’s demands. But as a newbie supernatural, two things are certain.
There will be blood. And kissing. Copious amounts of kissing.
Ravenite by Alicia Rades
Ok, I’m drawing the line here. I have way too many random (free) books on my Kindle and I actually need to remove them from my Goodreads. I don’t remember ever adding them so the act of going through each one is a little annoying, but it is funny to look back at what I downloaded like 6 years ago. Don’t judge me too much, I was a teenager and like every teenage girl back then, I loved a vampire romance.
Verdict: remove
Synopsis: Never mess with a witch who bites back.
I’m Rachel Collins, low witch and raven shifter in hiding. I spend my days tending the cash register at a local magic shop and my nights patrolling the streets for vampires with a death wish. Until the night I spot the mark of the Soulless on some lowly vampire’s wrist.
The Soulless answer to Valkas, the original vampire and the most ruthless of them all. They’re the same bastards who murdered my parents and kidnapped my sister. I want answers—and maybe a little revenge.
Along comes Venn, a handsome, protective wolf shifter who takes my breath away. We’re both after the same guy, and as much as it kills me to ask for help, I kind of need it.
Heaven help me. The dark, dangerous road we’re traveling together will either free my sister or get me killed.
