What if all you knew about fairy tales was wrong?

No wonder he has been banned from Heaven, which is the least of his troubles. Loki needs a job to pay for school and support himself.

Let's see the blurb and cover similarities, shall we?
SNOW WHITE SORROW: He looks like an Angel but acts like jerk [...] He is a Dreamhunter...
CITY OF BONES: It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk.
SNOW WHITE SORROW: When Loki is sent to kill a sixteen-year-old vampire girl the locals call Snow White Sorrow, he is pulled into a magical but dangerous world [...] What he finds instead is a beautiful monster girl filled wit...more

Anna Dressed in Blood, anyone?
Seriously, look at that blurb! It's so Anna, it's not even funny.
This book:What he finds instead is a beautiful monster girl filled with rage and hurt
Snow White has killed every person who has dared come near the castle where she once lived with the queen. Mysteriously, she lets Loki live.

Obviously none of you have read his short story prequels which is based on the Grimm fairy tales. These are retellings of fairytales and the world Cameron Jace created is nothing like Mortal Instruments or any other novel mentioned . I do not see how the covers are similar. Read his short stories and you will have a better understanding.

Me reading the blurb:
And here's why:
Loki has a rare gift: He is a Dreamhunter. One of the few in the world who can hunt and kill immortal demons in their dreams so they never wake up again.

What the hell?
I'm going to read this just for fun and for the hell of it.
I mean, it's not often you get a book trying to smash 2 books into 1.
...
Well. There are.
But not so obviously. And from the bunch of other amazing reviewers, you can tell which smashing it is. Actually, you can read the blurb and tell which 2 books it is, if you're on top of your bookish game.
And who the hell nicknames their monsters Snow White Sorrow?
How did that nickname even come about?

Although I am biased toward Snow White and the Huntsman movie, when I first read about this book I was like:
Because since Neil Gaiman's short story Snow, Glass, Apples, I wished someone would write a long book about what if Snow White was a vampire. Yeah.
then it suddenly hit me that this could be like this:
please make it like the above. I would love it. can't wait to read it
btw it's my first review trying to add animated images. I 've done it yay.

I'm hoping this book is good.
But first thing that came to mind was The Mortal Instruments due to the cover. And also "dreamhunter".
Then I read the rest of the synopsis...not TMI.
Though, it reminds me of Anna Dressed in Blood too.
Well, I'm still going to read it. Just let it be as good as Anna and please have some originality.

Snow White: YES! I LIKE LIKE LIKE!!!
Vampires: *sparkle coming to mind* Euhhrrgh...
Loki Blackstar. I think someone pointed this out already, but, for good measure, I HAVE to add my bit in.
LOKI. BLACK. STAR.
I think I just went to book heaven. Soul Eater name combined with Fairytail name? I don't even care if Snow White sparkles to see THAT written in a book.

I was just listening to Amaranth by Nightwish and it made me think of this book. If you go listen to it, You'll know why.

Anna Dressed in blood + City of Bones. Copy much?
Anna Dressed in Blood: A murderous ghost of a girl filled with rage and fury. And for whatever reason, she spares his life.
Snow White Sorrow: A monster girl filled with rage and hurt. Mysteriously, she lets Loki live.
And Loki looks like an Angel but acts like a jerk. City of Bones?
I mean, What the hell?!

Similarities to Anna aside...
"He looks like an Angel but acts like jerk."
Coincidence of all coincidences, look what I found in the blurb for City of Bones!
"It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk."
There is something drastically wrong with books that are published even with such blatant copying.

I think if you read the prequels you'll see that whatever similarities the summary share with City of Bones and Anna Dressed in Blood are just coincidental. The story focuses more on the intertwining of fairytales aspect than on vampires and dreamhunters, and from what I've read of the prequels it seems very unique and well thought out. I would give it a chance, personally.

Love the cover.
But... Like everyone has already said the resemblance of this blurb is SO LIKE Anna dressed in blood
And I loved that book, but I hate people copying others ideas and storylines! I mean what's the point?? People WILL pick up the resemblance when Anna dressed in blood was a major hit and Is loved by many fans- including me.

The synopsis has a stunning resemblance to Anna Dressed In Blood and the cover reminds me a lot like the cover templates of the Mortal Instruments series ( particularly City of Lost Souls ). Even the author's last name is an uncanny resemblance to Jace Wayland. ( coincidental much? ) But I am super excited to read this one anyway!

hmmm i dunno about this one,....why does it sound so much like "Anna Dressed in Blood"?? It sounds EXACTLY like the plot except switching the characters out for fairy-tale type tropes. Even the name: Loki Blackstar makes me LOL. It just sounds so much like a bad Fanfic name!!

Anna Dressed in Blood. The Dreamhunter version.
The PLOT SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME. I SWEAR TO GOD.
Now that I think about, it also resembles City of Bones A LOT. The cover..and the angst ridden teenager part. XD
So I could end up hating or really loving this book.

As far as the written description is concern, the idea and the plot has an almost tangible similarity to Kendare Blake's Anna Dressed In Blood as well as Neil Gaimans retelling of snow white in Snow, Glass, Apples O_o
Ghost girl who kills people, but lets male main character live.
I have a bad feeling of Anna Dressed in Blood copycat... Still, I'm a sucker for fairy tale retellings. So, I'll give it a chance.

The blurb reminds me of Anna Dressed in Blood... where Anna lets Cass live while she killed everyone who dared to enter her home. Hmmmmmmm... This definitely needs some originality.
The synopsis sounds suspiciously like Anna Dressed in Blood but I might as well give it a try.

This looks like a mixture of so many other books, the most cliche book I've seen in a while, like a big pile of good books twisted and mushed to create this. UGH.
Wow, that summary might as well be Anna Dressed in Blood. Still looks like an interesting read, though.

This is basically Anna Dressed In Blood set in a fairy-tale world. I'll be reading this to see which is better.
Good gosh, this sounds amazing. The description reminds me a bit of Anna Dressed In Blood too.
