Publisher's summary

A runaway princess wanted for murder.

A deadly huntsman who’s after her heart….

Half-fae Astrid Snow is used to being disliked. With magic that makes her mirror back one’s worst qualities, she has more enemies than friends. And when she’s accused of poisoning her father, her stepmother—the formidable Spring Queen—becomes her greatest enemy yet. Forced into hiding, she finds solace at the Seven Sins Hotel. It provides the perfect subterfuge she needs. For who could ever find an outlaw in a hotel famed for sin?

Bear shifter Torben Davenport lost everything to the gambling halls. To pay off his debts, he serves the fae royals as their personal Huntsman, locating hard-to-find fugitives with his scent-based magic. When the Spring Queen offers him a bargain that will erase his debts for good, he’s willing to do what it takes—even if it means finding the queen’s runaway stepdaughter and cutting out her heart.

Astrid won’t go down without a fight, even if her assailant is a strikingly handsome Huntsman. If she can evade the bear-shifter’s claws, maybe she can make him an ally. It’s easier said than done, especially after she accidentally gets herself handcuffed to her infuriating captor.

Can Astrid cut through Torben’s icy demeanor and convince him to help her find the real killer? Or will she lose her heart in more ways than one?

Amazing book!!! I'm going to get everything by this author. She does a fabulous retelling of a classic fairytale, while adding the elements of fae, and wonderful romance.

Such a cute retelling of Snow White

This is a must read if you love fae, romance, and kittens. The story is adorable and moves quickly. I was immediately immersed in the world and loved every minute.

I’m obsessed, finished it same day!!!

After finishing the first one in this series then the third one, skipping over the Cinderella retelling, I moved on to this one as it was hinted at the end of The Little Mermaids retelling. Based off the small hint I KNEW I was going to like this one and I’m just so happy it did not disappoint. I love the alternating perspectives between our female lead and male lead and the overall twist to the classic Snow White tale. Though all-in-all, ALL of the retellings have such a unique twist to the original plots that I can’t help but feel like are honestly better than the originals. To me they just make more sense and have more depth behind the characters.

With that being said this book is probably, so far, the best one out of the whole “Entangled with Fae” series and is an absolute must read. If you love wholesome storytelling then this book is for you, it’s a change up from all the smut books out there as it doesn’t immediately hit you with lust and passion, instead it burns throughout the whole story and gives you exactly what you want in the end. I don’t usually write long reviews so I hope this helps!

The narrators were AWESOME as well, just great reading and voice fluctuations.

Tessa you've done it again!

I've loved all of the entangled with fae books and thus was no exception. I love the world of these books as a whole and the characters are their own despite the stories being reimaginings. The pacing was solid, the growing feelings believable, the underlying story intriguing. I can't wait for more.

Another win for this series!

I love every single one of her books! This story has a twists and warm fuzzies!

Fans of gooey fairy tale retellings will devour!

Flowery writing style! Cute Romance! expectation subversion and a dash of spice! great listen!

Romantic, Adventurous and Emotional Snow White Retelling!!

I loved this!! Each Entangled With Fae story is amazing!! This one is definitely one of my favorites in the series!!

This Snow White retelling is very different from any I’ve ever read, and I read a lot of fairytale retellings. I loved the characters so much, and their development as they grow throughout the story. There was not one dull moment in the story, not that I would expect there to be from Odette’s writing. I loved all the many fae creatures and little furry animals too.

If you like fairytale retellings, you’ll love this, and the whole Entangled With Fae series!!

The narration was perfection!!

Heartwarming

So good!!! Unexpected twists and turns but still paying homepage to the original fairytale! Def recvommend!

Astrid suuuuuucks

How many times does a person need to repeat the same exact mistakes? Ughhhh. I am officially DNFing a book for the first time this year. I have zero interest in reading about a poison addict who plays helpless like it's her number one job. She just accepts that she can't do anything to control her magic even though it completely disrupts her life.
