It's a...Reverse Harem
Princess Snow Cavell finds herself captured by her evil stepmother and handed over to seven ruthless men known as Shadows—the most feared assassins in the known galaxies. Snow’s link to the Cosmos is a threat, one that can no longer be tolerated if her stepmother intends to win the war and rule the Intergalactic Alliance. Their orders are clear—either execute her or deposit her on one of the slaver colonies to be sold. But the Shadows have other plans for the beauty, plans that will fracture alliances throughout the galaxies and shift the tide of the Intergalactic War. No one controls the Shadows. They’d sworn to remain neutral during the War, but all bets are off now that Snow’s life hangs in the balance.

Releases 4/10

Snow Cavell. Daughter of the King. Slave. After her mother's death, Snow was secluded away on a ship with four caretakers. For ten years that was her life. Until her evil stepmother made her play in the war. Snow finds herself in the hands of seven of the most feared beings. Roteran Shadows. Assassins. Their mission is to kill Snow or deliver her to be sold. The shadows have their own secrets though. They've been looking for someone for a very long time. When they meet Snow, they think their search might be over. This means their true fight, has just begun.

This is the second book in the Once Upon A Harem Series but you don't have to have read the first book to read this one. They are all completely separate of each other. This one is based off of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. So you have Snow, your princess, the King who is easily led by his wife, the evil stepmother who is well...evil, and your seven shadows. We get so much more than the simple fairytale with this book though.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. We get a good introduction to the world we are in but it wasn't over done to where I wanted to skip around. The characters are all attention demanding. Snow may have been born a princess but she's never been treated like one. She was taught to fight and protect herself and that's what she does. She is fierce. Then there are the seven Roteran Shadows. Each is so different and yet they all mesh together and balance each other out. There is so much more to these Shadows than just being assassins though. I don't want to give spoilers away but the things that these Shadows have endured, the things they carry with them, you can't help but fall in love with them and their strength. The fact that Snow can calm them and give them some peace in their lives, beautifully written to bring them all together.

We get a whole lot of story in this one book. A great intro to the world and characters, a great journey, battles, secrets, lies, epic revelations. A perfectly paced relationship build for the characters and history between them. And while I would love to read more about Snow and her men, there's not an ending that leaves you hanging. We get answers!

I definitely recommend this book for you to read. If you have read Cara before or she's a new to you author, if you like fairytales or they just aren't your typical thing, give this book a go. I think it's got something for everyone.
