I have always loved the tale of Snow White so was desperate to read a different take on it and it didn't disappoint.
Sophie as per the fairytale story is slain by the huntsmen on her stepmother's command.
But Sophie wakes up with a clockwork heart fashioned by the kindly dwarves.
The only snag is that this heart has a limited time to run so every beat could be her last.
Sophie now knows the extent of her Stepmother's cruelty when she sees how her subjects are living and is determined to wrest the kingdom from under her harsh orders and regain her true heart before time runs out.
Can she really fulfil all she needs to do with the help of a boy she is falling in love with and the dwarves?
This was wonderful, dark, creepy and a perfect example of how you can tweak a classic fairytale and bring it bang up to date for a modern audience.
Perfect for fans of the YA genre.
