Waiting On Wednesday ... The Evil Queen


Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pick is The Evil Queen by Gena Showalter


Here is the Goodreads synopsis
Welcome to the Forest of Good and Evil. A dream come true, and a living nightmare.

Evil isn’t born, it’s made. One thought and action at a time. Take a good look at what you’ve made.

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—and determined to change Fate itself—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 bits and pieces of the prophecy unfold, 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?
I love fairytale retellings and especially love those that take on the villain's perspective. I was immediately intrigued at the idea of a story from the Evil Queen's point of view.

The triangle between Snow, Roth, and Everly has a lot of potential. I think love triangles can be used effectively if well done and I am curious to see what route this takes since it seems likely he is going to end up with Snow.

The book's summer release means I'll be able to have it as a pool side read! I hope it is as good I am am anticipating.
Expected release date - June 25, 2019
