When Camille was six years old, she was discovered alone in the snow by Enrico Vultusino, godfather of the Seven—the powerful Families that rule magic-ridden New Haven. Papa Vultusino adopted the mute, scarred child, naming her after his dead wife and raising her in luxury on Haven Hill alongside his own son, Nico.
Now Cami is turning sixteen. She’s no longer mute, though she keeps her faded scars hidden under her school uniform, and though she opens up only to her two best friends, Ruby and Ellie, and to Nico, who has become more than a brother to her. But even though Cami is a pampered Vultusino heiress, she knows that she is not really Family. Unlike them, she is a mortal with a past that lies buried in trauma. And it’s not until she meets the mysterious Tor, who reveals scars of his own, that Cami begins to uncover the secrets of her birth…to find out where she comes from and why her past is threatening her now.
New York Times bestselling author Lili St. Crow thrilled legions of fans with her dark paranormal series Strange Angels. Now she has crafted an evocative update of Snow White, set in a vividly imagined world and populated by unforgettable new characters.

Why I'm Wishing...
I've been wanting to get into more retellings. I don't read too many of them and this one just so happen to catch my eye. And the cover is like all dark and mysterious. I really can't wait to see what this one is about.

  1. I don't read many retellings either. I've tried a few but haven't found too many I like. This one sounds good and I love Snow White! Thanks for stopping by!

  7. Oh, that does sounds good! I always love a good fairy tale retelling, and the cover is gorgeous. (I do think it's funny that they live in New Haven -- not a very magical name, IMO... having grown up about a half hour away from New Haven, CT :))
