   Norta is divided by blood. Those with silver blood rule with their special abilities while those with red blood are forced to be servants. Mare Borrow, a Red girl, lives as a street smart thief in her poor town of the Stilts. In a strange twist of fate, she finds herself wielding a dangerous power. Soon, Mare is living among the Silvers, the people she hates most. But behind the eyes of the public, Mare holds a secret that can get here killed. She has also caught the eyes of two brothers and struggles to chose which one to give her heart to. With a rebellion on the rise and the nation at the peak of the war, is this really the best time for Mare to live among the Silvers?
  THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!!! It also ripped my heart apart and might have destroyed me. There were so many plot twists and I did not see that ending coming! The love triangle in this book was so interesting and gave me real Selection vibes. It was unclear until the end of who she would choose. Mares' choice between the two boys was just like America choosing between Aspen and Maxon!
  I loved all the plot twists. There were the perfect amount of surprising twists and Vitoria Aveyard didn't overdo it or make it overwhelming. All the hidden backstories of the characters at the palace were great to figure out and piece together. The rest of this series will definitely be on my Christmas list!

August is convinced he can play the part his parents want while acting cool and confident in the company of his talented new friends. But who is August when the lights go down?

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would...
