Waiting on Wednesday: Cold Spell by Jackson Pierce
This Wow (Waiting on Wednesday) is all about fairy tale retellings. I am waiting on Cold Spell by Jackson Pierce.
Kai and Ginny grew up
together–best friends since they could toddle around their building’s
rooftop rose garden. Now they’re seventeen, and their relationship has
developed into something sweeter, complete with stolen kisses and plans
to someday run away together.But one night, Kai disappears with a
mysterious stranger named Mora–a beautiful girl with a dark past and a
heart of ice. Refusing to be cast aside, Ginny goes after them and is
thrust into a world she never imagined, one filled with monsters and
thieves and the idea that love is not enough. If Ginny and Kai
survive the journey, will she still be the girl he loved–and moreover,
will she still be the girl who loved him?
Jackson Pearce, author
of the acclaimed SISTERS RED and FATHOMLESS, has returned with a unique
vision of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen,” one about power
and redemption, failure and hope, and the true meaning of strength (GoodReads).
I really liked Lili St. Crow's Nameless as well as Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross. While two very different takes on fairy tales, I enjoy imaginative retellings. And I like Grimm on TV. AND I have been wanting to read something by Jackson Pierce for a while. This book and I should get along just fine.
I have yet to read a Jackson Pearce book but Cold Spell makes me want to break that spell, see what I did there.

I love retelling, and I don't think I've read of any the Snow Queen's yet. This is one to look out for. :)
