Thanks to @bloomsburybooks-blog-blog for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review

✩🥀🩸Review:

Hamilton’s dark reimagining of Snow White is to die for! 

“Seven Deadly Thorns” follows Viola Sinclair after Roze Roquelart—the arrogant Prince of Aragoa—is sent to hunt her down for the shadow magic in her blood. But he needs something from her. Forced to work together, they’ll have seven days to discover who killed the king. 

Hamilton’s gripping storyline has Grimm roots that drew me in from the very first page. In this retelling, true love’s kiss doesn’t break the spell…it kills. This deadly twist breathes new life into a classic tale and adds to the existing tension created by the academic setting, which I thoroughly enjoyed. 

Viola and Roze’s enemies-to-lovers relationship arc is intoxicating. Despite being a prince, Viola is not afraid of putting Roze in his place for abusing his power. The two have such strong personalities and I loved watching their hatred for each other turn into something more passionate as they worked together to break the curse binding them. The mutual pining, secrets, and shocking betrayals keep the pages flying.
