Synopsis:
WELCOME TO THE FOREST OF GOOD AND EVIL.
A DREAM COME TRUE…AND A LIVING NIGHTMARE.
Far, far away, in the realm of Enchantia, creatures of legend still exist, magic is the norm and fairy tales are real. Except, fairy tales aren’t based on myths and legends of the past—they are prophecies of the future.
Raised in the mortal realm, Everly Morrow has no idea she’s a real-life fairy-tale princess—until she manifests an ability to commune with mirrors.
Look. See… What will one peek hurt?
Soon, a horrifying truth is revealed. She is fated to be Snow White’s greatest enemy, the Evil Queen.
With powers beyond her imagination or control, Everly returns to the land of her birth. There, she meets Roth Charmaine, the supposed Prince Charming. Their attraction is undeniable, but their relationship is doomed. As the prophecy unfolds, Everly faces one betrayal after another, and giving in to her dark side proves more tempting every day. Can she resist, or will she become the queen—and villain—she was born to be?
The battle between good and evil is on.

Sonja’s Review
I was listening to a podcast where Gena Showalter and Kresley Cole were being interviewed and when Ms. Showalter described the book she was working on at the time, The Evil Queen, it literally gave me chills! It sounded utterly fascinating to me to get the wicked Snow White queen’s backstory and understand why she is the way she is and what her motivations for everything were. I love getting the villain or what you perceive to be the villain’s story because they’re so complex and thought-provoking. I was chomping at the bit to read this and though I thought I would dive in as soon as I got it, I put it off because I had such high, high expectations for The Evil Queen and while I knew Ms. Showalter would deliver an excellent book no matter what, I was still a little worried that it wouldn’t live up to the hype I’d built up in my head. I really should not have been nervous at all though, because from the very moment I started reading, I knew it was going to be worthy and I was extremely excited to continue on. The Evil Queen was truly even better than I was hoping for and I could not have imagined a better book — it was incredible!
There were so many things I loved about The Evil Queen, but one of the aspects that I loved the most was the world building. The world of Enchantia is so huge, complex, and detailed that I was just in awe of it. There was no part of it that wasn’t fully developed or well-thought out. The world and the plot really just blew me away.
The Evil Queen brought out all my emotions from frustration and heartbreak to amusement and happiness. It had me on the edge of my seat, glued to the pages and kept me guessing until the very end. The Evil Queen was stunning, intriguing, and outstanding. It is easily one of my favorite reads of the year and I can’t wait for more from this series to come!
