Evil Thing by Serena Valentino

-

 Like the song says, if Curella De Vil doesn't scare you, no evil thing will. From the time she was a little girl, Curella had always been eager to please her mother. To earn love. From her only childhood, Curella changed. After possibly getting cursed, Curella was no longer a sweet little girl. A mixture of heart-break and longing made her into the fashionable villain the world knows her as. 

Curella's tale was so sad! She was such a sweet little girl that it would be impossible to think she would become a ruthless monster. Her mother was so awful to her and from the moment I started reading, I pitied Curella.

Ever since I started reading Evil Thing, I've had the Curella De Vil song stuck in my head! I definitely want to watch 101 Dalmations again now!

One thing that I loved about Evil Thing was that it was told in first person. The other six books in the series were told in third person. It was still good, but I liked reading from Curella's perspective. Speaking of the other books though, I can't wait for the upcoming release of Cold Hearted which follows Lady Termine.

Though there were a lot of things in this book that I loved, I hated that the chapters were so long. I feel like this is a thing I talk about a lot, but I prefer short chapters. There were some moments that were a little boring for I loved this book for the most part.

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 be willi
