Ok, now...Well, I'm gonna be honest. I was worried this book would fall totally short. This is one of those times where the blurb doesn't do the book total justice. You go into thinking one thing, and then you come out of it a few hours later a totally changed and giggling idiot.I LOVED this book!I hate to turn on the gush valve, but I'm just being honest.The author knew what she was doing when she recreated the Rumble fairy-tale and sprinkled it with so much pretty moments, a rich plot, crazy characters and a really awesome male and female lead. This is important to me. You can literally sometimes write characters that have no chemistry. Form the moment Rue and Juliana met its like fireworks. They really don't like each other all that much and that lean so much to the story telling.The romance is built in a three month time period--most people would call that insta-love, I would call that a fairy-tale retelling.You know you have to really careful with this. Or you end up like the show Once Upon A Time and in a trap full of holes you can't write your way out of.Vivi Andrews wrote this story so strong that I put it down maybe once and that was to get my daughter ready for bed before I picked it up again.It was well written, smooth, sexy, and had you sobbing at certain points!I would love for Vivi to write more retellings! This one had me so hooked and I would keep giggling because I was so happy to have found this on Netgalley!*I received a copy of this book from the Vivi Andrews via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
