Crimson Painted Snow by Brea Alepoú

2.0

Hmmmm...I hate to give books low stars. But this one was not a winner for me, to be honest I almost did not want to finish it, which is rare for me. Sometimes books say "dark" and they don't really mean it. Boy, this one sure did. It is a very dark retelling of Snow White. It is not for the feint of heart. I don't find myself typically shying away from darker themed books, but I at least like being able to relate to one of the MC's in some way. I guess I expected the snow white of this book to be more like the typical snow white (sweet, soft, nurturing, good) and the story itself to have the darker themes. The character is not what I was expecting at all. So if you like dark books, dark characters with questionable morals, gore and lots of killing...this book is for you! Enjoy! I am now going to find myself a palate cleanser!
