Blood & Roses: A Sweet & Spicy Snow White Retelling

Absolutely adorable! The second installment of The Nightshade Sisters really lived up to the charm of the first. Having received this ARC, I'm eagerly awaiting its official release to recommend it to all my friends.

Meet Izzy, our strong eldest sister. Despite the Nightshade Sisters' retirement from a life of crime, she still finds herself in a bit of trouble. As a bloodweaver and poison expert, she inadvertently gets entangled in a forest encounter after returning from a good deed. Soon after, a handsome hunter approaches her, seeking her and her sisters' help to catch a stag and save the kingdom from the Evil Queen.

The pacing was excellent; I was impressed by how seamlessly everything unfolded without feeling rushed. The nods to the original Snow White story were so clever, I was very impressed with this retelling.

The romance was both sweet and spicy, contributing to the overall charm of the story.

Also the bonus of Lis and Orson, the last book's focus, from a different perspective was so so fun! It even tempted me to revisit the first book and experience Izzy's parts from Lis' perspective. I'm so excited to dive deeper into the world of the Nightshade sisters and all of their stories!
