Daughter of Lies by Kenley Davidson
4.0
TLDR: An interesting retelling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
This version of the Snow White story definitely had some changes I wasn’t expecting and I quite enjoyed them. No prince. The “seven dwarves” are actually seven women (girl power!).
The story overall had more of a mystery feel to it and Brenna (our Snow White) is a spy and a Duchess rather than a princess.
The beginning of this story was slow and I had a harder time getting into it than I’d hoped. Once the action picked up though, Davidson’s storytelling reeled me in again.
The romance was organic, though I couldn’t believe the set up at first until the ages were better explained. I did enjoy Brenna’s kick-butt, take-charge personality though and she was fun to follow.
Overall, 3.5/5 stars for me. A little better than average, but not on the level of the first 3 books of this series.
