My Rating: 4.5 Stars
I'm a big fan of King Author Retellings and I was giddy to get my hands on this one.
Reading you can tell something big is going to happen, there is dark undertone that puts you on edge. I wan't disappointed. The action was wicked, dark and a little quick for my taste, but still great at the same time. The story telling was spot on, though there are some flash backs that caught me off guard, and made Lace out to be a call ass jerk, but it did make sense in the end.
In all I was impressed with this retelling and I'm hoping there is more to come.
Happy Reading. :)
