Publisher: Del Ray UKFormat: MOBIRelease Date: April 13th, 2021 Rating: 5/5 Stars This book deserves every single star, plus more. Heather Walter takes fairy tales and tweaks them, not so much they’re unrecognisable, but enough to separate them from the Disney versions we know and love. Malice is beautiful and dark and powerful, much likeContinue reading “Book Review: Malice – Heather Walter”
