Review -
In the past few years Snow White has been retold in several different ways; in books, television, cinema, you name it. And many times it falls flat. Not this time!
In this version of Snow White, the Evil Queen is the Queen from the Black Court in Underhill, desperate to keep her son off the throne and acquire his power, ready kill anyone who dares stand in her way. Snow White is a Gypsie girl, Catarina 'Trina' MacElvy, a green witch determined to save her family who has been hunted down to near extinction by the queen, though none of them know why. The Huntsman of the Great Wild Hunt, Logan Ni Brennan, who knows exactly where his loyalties lie, even if no-one else does. Instead of Seven Dwarfs, there are Logans' seven uncle's, the Fir Bolg, mighty warrior's, and womanizer's, who are the last of their kind.
Aspen takes readers into the heart of the Black Court in the land of the fae. Where though the fae cannot tell a lie, they are true masters of manipulation. Keeping to the original tale with a ton a dark, intriguing twists', and for once not letting the Prince be the one to get the girl. The Dark Huntsman is full of heat, suspense, humor, magic, sacrifice and a couple readers will be rooting for until the very end. Though there are a few spots that tend to drag along, there are not many. And you may want to smack Trina a time or two, keep in mind she is just doing what 'Snow White' originally did. Once readers get towards the end up this book, putting it down will not be such an easy task.
Lovers of dark romance will appreciate every aspect of this book. So if you're stuck in the snow, curl up with this read, it is sure to let off enough steam to warm your blood.
