Snow White has woken from her coffin, but there’s no prince in sight. The forest animals who were once her beloved friends now sprout fangs and hiss. Danger lurks in the forest and Snow must find allies quickly to survive. As Snow tries to untangle what happened while she slept, she learns that the kingdom of Roanfrost has been taken over by the Evil Queen and her daughter. Can Snow harness the realm’s magic to take back her throne? 

The Wildest Things is a haunting fairy tale tinged with horror. I loved the sensory details of Snow breaking the glass coffin on her own and her adventures through the forest. Andrea Hannah has created a unique and compelling adventure. While there was definitely a sapphic connection, I am excited to see how it continues and is further developed in books to come. Andrea Hannah wrote in skillful twists and turns that took me by surprise! I really enjoyed the well-designed and rich magic system. I'm looking forward to seeing how the story continues! 

Thank you to Andrea Hannah, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
