Pertaining To The Shadow of the Bear

Once upon a time in New York City... Written by Regina Doman and based on the fairy tale Snow White and Rose Red, The Shadow of the Bear (Book One of the Fairy Tale Novels) is about Blanche and Rose Brier, two sisters who are as different as they can be. Eighteen-year-old Blanche is quiet and fearful, while sixteen-year-old Rose is flamboyant and brave. One night, they meet a mysterious young man who calls himself Bear. Blanche is sure that he's a drug dealer, but Rose and Mrs. Brier invite him to visit them as often as he pleases. As he spends more time with the family, Bear slowly earns Blanche's trust. However, the mysteries that surround him eventually begin to take shape - and threaten to engulf both him and the Briers.

Pros: I could go on and on and on and on. Instead, I'll just say that Bear is pretty much my favorite hero of all time, Rose is an awesome character, Blanche is even better, the whole fairy tale retold aspect of the book is right up my alley, and the chastity, faith, trust, and other Catholic elements in the story are great.

Cons: There are none.

My Rating: T (sexual and drug references)
