Snow Kissed

The Immortal Grimm Brothers' Guide to Sociopathic Princesses, Book 1

De: M. J. Padgett

Narrado por: Alycia Younker

Eighteen-year-old Calla Benson is just like any other normal teenage girl. She has a secret crush on her best friend, likes music and movies, works hard to make good grades, and does her best to stay out of trouble. But once in a blue moon, Calla is anything but normal. There’s a predatory animal lurking inside her, just waiting to rampage through the forest once a year.

One fateful night, Calla comes across something she’s never seen before - someone like her. After a tense meeting in the forest, Calla dives headlong into a fantastical land shrouded in mystery. With danger around every corner, she learns things are not always what they seem, and she is farther from normal than she ever imagined.

With the help of her best friends, a pair of brooding brothers, and a family she never knew she had, Calla embarks on a mission to save her people from a treacherous queen. With wolves, witches, deathly secrets, and mysterious lands (and a few confusing boys), Calla’s life is flipped upside down. It’s the stuff fairy tales are made of...because being a teenager wasn’t already difficult enough.

Delightful!

So, you think you know your fairy tales and the characters that populate them, but what you did not know is that the stories we hear are not necessarily true. Take Snow White, for example. Everyone knows that the wicked queen resented Snow's beauty and gave her a poisoned apple in order to kill her. Well, what if it was actually the other way and Snow was the psycho killer? Calla Benson is a normal teenage girl, but when the blue moon arrives, she shifts into a wolf. She found an entire group of children who were just like her when out in the forest on a run, but she's not just a wolf, she's Snow White's sister, and Snow is trying to destroy her. This is an amazingly clever and unique take on Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm who, incidentally, are central to this story. I can't wait for the continuation of this fabulous series.
The narration is very well done by Alycia Younker. The inflection, pace and her various accents were truly enjoyable!

The Princess are the Vilians!

I am a huge fan of fairy tales that have been twisted. I had not read any though where the Princess was actually the Viliain. Once I had started the audiobook it was difficult to pause it to sleep etc.
I am excited to see how the story unfolds for the Royal Children of the Evil Queen. If the others affected by the psychotic princesses are able to get the help they need.

Beautiful CLEAN romance.

Throughly enjoyed this book. Super clean. Zero spice. Zero cursing. Just what I was wanting. A love story with a PLOT!! ❤️❤️❤️

fairy tale twists

What a great fantastical read/listen. I could tell you that its basically about werewolves and an evil snow white, which it is...but the story line is really so good. Well written with great characters, Padgett makes you believe. The narration is off the charts amazing...loved the accents, I could listen all day! Overall this read/listen has it all...romance, suspense, twists and turns a HEA and lead in to the next in the series without it being a cliffhanger.

I received a free copy of this book at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Fantastic

I loved this book! What a twist to the original fairytale we all grew up with. The narrator herself was fabulous, as was each one of the characters.
