Synopsis

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Flinn's modern and mysterious retelling of Snow White, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and true love doesn't necessarily mean Prince Charming.

Celine's life is the stuff fairy tales are made of. She's beautiful, talented, and brave. Unfortunately, her tale comes complete with a wicked stepmother! When Violet steps into Celine's life, everything changes and weird things begin to happen to her―bizarre accidents, strange illnesses, and rabid animal attacks. Celine doesn't feel safe anywhere. It's almost as if some hateful witch is out to get her.

And there is. Violet has been waiting all her life to have Celine's father to herself. Getting rid of his gorgeous daughter is child's play for a witch as powerful as she is. Happy-ever-after isn't enough for Violet. She wants to be the fairest of them all, and Celine is in the way . . . but not for long.

Forced to take refuge with her friend Goose and his family, Celine gives up everything she loves and goes deep undercover. But will it be enough to fool Violet, or will Celine's fate be decided by a reflection in a magic mirror? And where do you find Prince Charming in Miami anyway?

Mirrored is a modern retelling of Snow White―told from the points of view of Violet, Celine, and Goose―with all the magic and mystery readers will love.

What happens when the villain gets to tell her side of the story?

• A Classic Tale Reimagined: Forget Prince Charming. In this modern Miami-set version of Snow White, the real story lies in the rivalry between a jealous witch and an unsuspecting stepdaughter.
• The Villain’s Point of View: Ever wondered why the evil queen was so evil? Step into Violet’s shoes as she transforms from a lonely, bullied teenager into a powerful witch obsessed with being the fairest of them all.
• Good vs. Evil: As Celine’s life is systematically destroyed by dark magic, she must rely on an unlikely friendship with Goose to survive her stepmother’s deadly jealousy.
• High School Drama with a Magical Twist: From high school cruelty to the devastating consequences of a long-held grudge, this story weaves teen angst with supernatural suspense.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Mirror, mirror in my hand . . .

Beauty is the key to everything. At least, that's how it seems to Violet—ugly, bullied, and lonely. To be beautiful, in her eyes, is to have power and love. And when Kendra, the witch, teaches Violet how to use magic, she may finally get what she wants.

For Celine, beautiful since birth, her looks have been a hindrance. She discovers that beauty is also a threat—especially to her stepmother, Violet, who doesn't want anyone sharing the attention she worked so hard to get and who will do anything to be the fairest of them all.

But beauty isn't only skin deep and love isn't based on looks alone. And though Violet and Celine may seem to be completely opposite, their lives are almost . . . mirrored
