Devouredby Amanda Marrone
****
Megan Sones really does not want to work at Land of Enchantment, the amusement park full of fairytales, but what choice does she have when her boyfriend will be working there with the girl who believes he's her soul mate. And to make matters worse her sister shows up again to show her a vision, only this vision is a bit more disturbing. And what does all of this have to do with Snow White? Perhaps tradition has forgotten a few details of the "happily ever after"... The real question is: apples or knives?
Devoured put an interesting twist on the traditional fairytale of Snow White, all the while weaving in the insanity of the family that owns the park. The characters weren't the mainstream whinners normally associated with YA fiction. And I was happy that for once the girl actually dumped the idiot for the good guy, instead of dragging things out with both. Overall, I liked this novel and would read more from this author.

Glad you liked this one, I wasn't sure about getting it! Yes, it's another of those fairy tale retelling stories that seem to be popular now.
It sounds interesting, I'd like to read it
Fairy-tale-retelling stories sounds like an interesting genre. On a side note, the cover reminds me of Twilight
The apple thing is for Snow White, but I think the cover could have been better.
... sounds like a lot of drama, but also sounds kinda intriguing..
I think it sounds pretty good
Well, at least the romance sounds promising.
Sounds like a really good book. Can't wait to read it.
