After Lily and Rose rescue a leprechaun in distress, he puts a terrible curse on them. Now Lily must find who kidnapped Rose and why. Blood of the Lily by S.D. Huston is a Snow White and Red Rose retelling hybrid with Irish mythologies.
This is the first book in the Clash of the Goddesses series and is a breath of fresh air compared to other fairytale retellings. The combination of Snow White characters with Irish mythology characters is genius and fascinating. If you aren't familiar with Irish folklore, don’t worry, a lot.is explained in the novel, and what isn't you can look up in the glossary in the back of the book.
I recommend reading this book in your backyard or another outdoors setting. This book is great for the young at heart who still believes in enchanted forests with magical beings. I would give this book to my best friend or my neice. The story is origional and inspiring and one that every girl should read.
