The people of Pomona are under threat from the evil Queen Merla, and until now, Princess Neve has been powerless to stop her. Locked away in a tower for the past year, she has watched her kingdom fall apart.
The evil queen wants to be rid of Neve once and for all, so she brings her before the magic mirror. Neve knows the glass will never name Queen Merla the fairest in the land, but despite what … despite what it says, her fate is already sealed.
With the help of her childhood friend, Chase, Neve escapes the castle and Queen Merla’s clutches. But Chase is now on the Queen’s Guard, and Neve is unsure if she can trust him.
Through a journey of loss, love, and betrayal, Neve learns that being the fairest isn’t easy, but that it’s better to fight and lose, than to not fight at all.
Chasing Neve is a love-filled action-packed reimagining of the classic Snow White tale.

Fantastic book and a must read. . .
I really enjoyed this book. I love how it is a twist on a traditional Snow White tale. Very well written. Love it! I give a more detailed review on Amazon so go check it out!
K.A. brings her own special magic to fairy tales that we’ve known since we were children and the two I’ve read of hers (Chasing Neve and Ella and Ash) leave me with a warm feeling for the characters portrayed therein as I rooted for them like I did the Disney versions
Time seemed to stand still as I got caught up in the story and wanted no interruptions because I enjoyed the books so much.
There are differences of course between the two but the feeling is the same! Fantasy gives you the opportunity to write or for readers bask in the creativity of the author as the story takes on a life of its own to you. You can feel the love and loyalty that they each share as you get lost within the pages.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to one and all for it shows the triumph of the human spirit to face and overcome the obstacles placed before them.
I am fortunate to have found K. A.’s work and these books will be timeless to me as I plan on returning again to follow my friends in their journey to stop the wicked queen!
Sweet, re-imagining of Snow White with modern sensibilities. It is evident that Last did a lot of research in putting together her version of Snow White as this story encompasses many traditional elements as some more obscure ones. It is the story of an empowered young woman on an epic fantasy journey to save her kingdom, gathering allies and defeating foes along the way. Neve and Chase have a very sweet relationship that matures naturally though the course of the book.
The mirror was one of my favorite parts of the book, and where the author’s humor really shone. A couple lines has me laughing out loud – but I will let you find them for yourself! Other scenes were poignantly beautiful in their imagery. The themes of inner beauty and sacrifice were strong but not preachy.
This is book 2 in the series, but they are complete standalones. I’m looking forward to the next one.
ONE ROUGH AND RUGGED RIDE!!!
Slamdunk! Last threw caution to the wind, ratcheting up the thrill of the chase with this refreshing approach, mixing it up and laying it down, fusing this gem together sleek, shiny and tight. One non-stop, action packed, hard hitting, pulse racing, heart pounding, nailbiting, nerve racking, page flipping, block busting bombshell, hooks you from the start and reels you in for the duration. A tumultuous wild ride full of distressing circumstances, blowing this glittering jewel wide open. Bequeathing incredible, well rounded scenario’s that punch dead center with such exuberance and precision, blasting this sparkling gem to life spectacularly. Anarchy, escapades and havoc run amuck, propelling this bad boy into a surging tempest, blowing it into a tailspin with a mind-blowing culmination. The characters are complex and authentic with depth and traits that blend and flow, transforming into genuinely relatable personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and depictions creating a colorful backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Remarkable job Last, thanks for sharing this little treasure with us.
Excitingly Original!
“Chasing Neve” is a fun, intense adventurous reimagined original Snow White. I loved all the characters that were created with their interesting personalities and quirks. This tale drew me emotionally, held my heart and kept me entertained to the last page. I loved this read! Highly Recommended!

A brilliant take on Snow White. It’s beautiful written and you won’t want to put it down.
Neve has been locked in a tower for a year since her father died, she looks like a mess but will it be enough to hide her true beauty. The Evil Queen hope so but the magic mirror speaks the truth and turns out Neve is still fairest and in the fight not only of her life but the fight for her kingdom for the tree that protects the kingdom is dying. Can Neve and her supports find a way to save the tree in time or will the Evil Queen win.
This the first book I have read by K.A Last but it won’t be the last
