I'm participating in a Fairy Tales Retold ReadingChallenge at Debz Bookshelf. I've begun the challenge with Catholic author ReginaDoman's young adult novel, The Shadow ofthe Bear, a retelling of the story "Snow White and Rose Red." Youcan read the original Brothers Grimm fairytale at Regina Doman's web site.
The Shadow of theBear is set in modern day New York City and contains no magic, but itmaintains a fairytale-like feel. Here's the official blurb from Amazon.
WhenBear, a mysterious young man, lands on Blanche and Rose Brier’s doorstep in NewYork City, the two sisters have conflicting opinions on whether or not he isdangerous. Even as Blanche learns to trust him, her fears that Bear’sfriendship threatens their family prove terrifyingly true. A modern retellingof the classic Brothers Grimm fairytale.
Doman writes for Catholic teens, but thisforty-two year old mom enjoyed its gripping suspense and compelling characters.I read it with my eleven-year old twin daughters and they were transfixed. We flewthrough it in a matter of days. My Daphne got up as 6am just tocontinue reading! Today we finished it and, because we were on Kindle, immediatelygot the second book in the series, Blackas Night.
