Read of the Town: Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

It seems like everyone in the YA book blogging world is talking about the new twist on the Oz story written by Danielle Paige, called, Dorothy Must Die. I've had this book on my TBR list since I first heard the title! But then when I saw the cover I became even MORE excited! But the wait will soon be over! It's set to release on April 1st, but for those of us who just can't wait, below you will find out how you can get your hands on the first 12 Chapters of this debut novel!

Travel back to Oz and take a deliciously devilish walk down a darker brick road by checking out the first 12 chapters of the highly anticipated DOROTHY MUST DIE now: http://www.epicreads.com/blog/read-the-first-12-chapters-of-dorothy-must-die/

In this reimagined Oz, the Good Witches can’t be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and Dorothy has become its tyrannical ruler.  Gritty, compelling, and high stakes, DOROTHY MUST DIE by Danielle Paige reimagines L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz series in a way you've never seen before.

Arriving just in time for the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz and already slated to become a CW show produced by Heroes creator Tim Kring, DOROTHY MUST DIE by Danielle Paige will be on sale April 1st.

So, we've got Good Witches behaving badly and "friendly" Wicked Witches?? What could possibly go wrong in this new twist on an old classic? I personally LOVE when old fairytales and classic stories from my childhood are taken and retold in a way that doesn't take away from the original, just adds a new spin. Just from reading the first 12 chapters I can tell Danielle Paige has done just that and more.

I know I'll be going to work late (or I might even take the day off!!) just so I can get my hands on this book the second Barnes & Noble opens and begin reading it right away!

SYNOPSIS

Crash landing via tornado into a childhood nightmare, Amy Gumm finds the lime-lit, sparkling city of Oz a far cry from its former over-the- rainbow glory. The culprit? That bitch from Kansas: Dorothy Gale. Power-hungry and invincible, Dorothy has turned everything on its head. Now, the Scarecrow conducts inhumane experiments on the winged monkeys, the Tin Woodman is a trained killer, and the Lion is a deranged monster out for blood.

Upon arriving, Amy is immediately inducted into The Revolutionary Order of the Wicked, a group of not-so-wicked witches that are determined to rid their land of Dorothy. Now, Amy will have to show more gumption than was ever necessary in her Kansas trailer park life. When everyone has ulterior motives and no one is whom they seem, it's not easy to know what to do next. But one thing's for sure: Dorothy must die.
