Dewitched by EL Sarnoff

EL Sarnoff is currently on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Dewitched. Oh my word. This was one of the best books I’ve read so far this year. I loved every second of it, and will be snapping up the sequel as soon as it comes out! I was a huge fan of fairy tales and especially all the beautiful Disney princesses as a girl – and still am! From ages 21-25 I have been Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine and Belle for Halloween, so clearly I never grew up! But enough about me, let’s get back to this book! Dewitched follows the life of the Evil Witch who tried to poison Snow White – after she did the poisoning. She gets thrown in jail for attempted murder and then to rehab – for evil addicts! The Evil Queen AKA Jane Yvel runs into Cinderella’s evil stepsisters, Captain Hook and more of the evil-goers from the beloved fairy tales in her quest to become un-evil.
I loved every second of this book. It was hilarious to read about the Queen being in rehab, and so much fun to read about the characters who would pop up – from Ariel and Ursula to Fiona from Shrek! I also loved the tweak on businesses – Barons and Noble, how awesome is that?! Sarnoff was creative with her plot, characters and overall concept – even though it is based on stories, it felt completely original to me. I cannot for Unhitched (being released October 2012) to be on sale and dive back into these fairy tales. A must-read!
