Ivory White by Cambria Hebert
3.0
Ivory White is an inspired/retelling of Snow White.
When the huntsman tries to murder Ivory White, but she is let free at the last second, with her nail ripped off and her hair cut off, she runs to the Grimms. A part of New York the modern day princes has never seen. Somehow, she meets a group of three men, all misfits and untrustworthy, but somehow their dirty little home makes her feel safe, especially the mysterious Neo. Ivory gets thrown into a world she doesn't understand, running from the huntsman and falling for a man worlds apart from her own.
I have read a fair share of Cambria Hebert books. I love the majority, some were all right, but this one has a different feel to it than the rest of her books. Yes, it still has its protective hero who always saves the damsel in distress, it has the suspense element , of course the instalove feel. But these characters felt a bit different.
Ivory is spoiled,childish at times, a huge princess, but she is also kind, open, vulnerable and strong. I loved how she changed throughout the story and we saw so many sides to her. I normally don't like characters like her, but I really enjoyed following her. Neo is your standard protective, charming with a bit of mischief hero but he i really enjoyed seeing him afraid,scared and doubting himself because of his feelings for Ivory. The side characters were interesting and fun. I really enjoyed the Huntman's POV throughout the book. And can't wait to see more of their own stories.
The story itself is kind of ridiculous, but so much fun. At first, I didn't know what was happening. But the story is filled with the weird situations Ivory finds herself in. Almost getting murdered, running away, jail, doing laundry, getting murdered again, dead fish being thrown at her, sleeping in a room full of weird guys and a drooling dog. It's just a wild ride. I did guess the big reveal pretty early on which I think was kind of a bummer, but the outcome made up for it. It's an interesting twist to the whole Snow White story. I had fun spotting the reference in the book.
I enjoyed it,had fun reading it. I'm interested in the rest of the series but I didn't love it like most of her books. I feel like we didn't get to know Neo for a long time, so i didn't get invested in him like I did with Ivory, the plot twist/reveal were a bit predictable, and the ending was a bit dragging. I did like how it all wrapped up though. Overall, it's a solid book.
Rating: 3,5 stars
