True love is a myth.
A trick.
A way to subdue the heroine and take everything from her.
Winter Snow
My "true love" conspired with my stepmother to have me killed and stole my throne.
But they failed.
I've been in hiding and refining my vengeance. I'm no longer the damsel they mistook me for once upon a time. I'm coming for them. And my kingdom, too.
Who needs dwarves when you have wolves?
Who needs blades when you have arrows?
My name used to be Snow. Now they call me the Winter's Arrow. Because I'm here to destroy them all.
Kazek Flor
I'm not a prince but an Alpha. And I take what I want, when I want it. So when I found an Omega princess dying in the woods, I took her and made her mine.
I'll train her. Embolden her. Help her seek the vengeance she is owed. Then, together, we'll take down Winter Sector and the wicked Queen of Mirrors.
Run fast, little wolves.
Your former princess is about to rise with me by her side.
And we're thirsting for your blood.
My Thoughts and Review:
First I want to give my biggest critical thought to light. Now, I have read shifter books before, but this one had me a little (or maybe a lot lost) as to several aspects of it. I didn't understand the higherarchy of this shifter world. Since this book is a part of the Sinnister Fairy Tales collection, but also an X-Clan Novel I feel it might have been better for those who were reading this as a part of the Collection if there were a bit more of an introduction to this world. That being said, I feel that I would have benefited from having read at least the first X-Clan novel before I read Winter's Arrow.
Now on to the good stuff. This book is enthralling. It is action packed, and will have your heart racing. The relationship between Winter and Kazek is intense. Full of so much heat it will have you craving your own Alpha. For being a retelling of Snow White, the characters are each unique and amazing. I frequently found my self anxious to read a secondary character's story (Grum, Mick/Kari). I really enjoyed the way that both Kazek and Winter grew personally as a result of their mating. Each basically having to become someone different, and better, than they were before and always thought they had been. Kazek having been content being his pack leader's second. Winter having always believed she was a Beta, just to learn she was truly an Omega.
“Help,” I begged. “Need… help.” Kazek frowned at me. “You’re going into estrus, Snow. I’m planning to help you.” I shook my head, a whine catching in my throat. He didn’t understand. “No knot.” I couldn’t accept it. This had to be part of Vanessa’s plan, to make an Alpha think he could fuck me fully. She’d planned to entice Enrique with this spell, to force him to knot me. That was what she’d meant by having methods to induce the sensations. She’d cast some wicked enchantment that convinced Alphas I could handle them in a rut. Tears collected in my eyes. I’d escaped her clutches, only to fall into the hands of someone so much worse—an Alpha driven by need. She’d won. After all that… she’d still won. I crumpled against him, sobbing beneath the crushing emotions of betrayal and defeat. And worse, arousal. Because I wanted him.
