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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

M. J. Padgett is first and foremost a mom. Her free-spirited daughter has quite a vivid imagination, and her antics sometimes find their way into her mommy’s work. She is a lover of all things chocolate, a Grimm and Dickens addict, a self-proclaimed smarty-pants, and an introvert to the core.

Writing is her true passion (after raising her daughter, of course), and she writes as often as possible. One of her favorite things about writing is creating a world where people can escape reality for a little while, maybe even walk away feeling hopeful about the real world around them. When it comes to reading, she loves a book that can make her forget where she is no matter the genre. If she can get lost and feel like the characters are her real friends, she’s a happy reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique & Captivating Spin on the Grimm's Snow White
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2022

Oh, I really enjoyed this unique spin on the Grimm's Snow White. The characters were well-developed and I loved the dynamics between them.

My favorite part of the series was the supportive parents. Most YA books I read have at least one parent being totally horrible (or at least that way in the kids POV), but this series had three separate sets of parents who supported and loved their kids no matter what. That is so refreshing to see and definitely something YA books need more of!

I can't wait to read the rest of this series as this author is quickly becoming my favorite fantasy author!

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun retelling of Snow White with a villainous princess and shapeshifting siblings
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023
I got Snow Kissed as a review copy and am giving my honest review of it. Please note that there are a few (fairly mild) spoilers in this review.

First of all, the concept is awesome. In this story, Snow White is evil and has cursed her half-siblings to turn into wolves. From the epilogue, it seems the rest of the series also features evil princesses. I mean, who wouldn't enjoy it?

The plot itself is interesting. Calla learns that she is a fairy tale princess and has to save her kingdom (technically her brother's kingdom) from Snow White. I really enjoyed watching Calla and her siblings bond - they had such a fun dynamic.

I liked Calla- despite being an immortal fairytale princess/wolf, she could be relatable. 'Trigonometry. Fantastic, the most boring class in the history of boring classes.' (Snow Kissed, Chapter Five) Calla also had some fantastic sarcastic narrator moments. And I love me a sarcastic narrator!

It was interesting to see a teen character who actually had parents. While her father was dead and her birth mother was trapped in a mirror for most of the book, her adoptive parents were there for her and supported her despite the strange situation. As much as I love an orphaned protagonist with a tragic past, it was fun to see one with an actual family.

As for Calla's biological family, I loved the dynamic between the seven Salien siblings (I saw what you did there, and I like it). It was a lot of fun seeing them bond into their familial pack.

I will say that at times, things seemed a bit convenient for the characters. Maybe it was the immortal wisdom, but their plans tended to work well. I was expecting something to go horribly wrong, like Ravenna's mirror breaking or somebody dying or betraying them. Not that I can complain about the characters surviving. While, yes, fictional death is great, I liked the Snow Kissed cast and am glad none of my favorites - or ships - died.

I wasn't a fan of Brody. However, I will admit that I have a habit of becoming extremely biased when love triangles are involved. I've never been a fan of the trope, usually because I get attached to one ship, and it drives me crazy when that one loses. Luckily that wasn't a problem in this book; Calla and Wil are adorable. I like how they had a history, and their relationship wasn't a magical insta-love connection. Their connection was legitimate and made sense, unlike many YA couples.

Snow Kissed is good if you want a standalone or a series without too much commitment. Snow Kissed wraps up nicely, and I believe that every other book in the series concludes its own story (while building on one another). While there is a good amount of violence, Snow Kissed isn't particularly gory in its descriptions. It's appropriate for pretty much all ages (there isn't even cussing, which is great).

Snow Kissed is full of suspense, adventure, romance, and lovable characters! It is a surprising, fresh take on a familiar fairy tale, with unexpected twists and some definitely swoon-worthy love interests! And it's only the beginning... I've also read the second book and I can say this series only gets better as it goes. Definitely worth purchasing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable take on Snow White tale
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2023
This is not my usual genre, but I was happy to have the opportunity to preread for my daughters who love fantasy & fairytale retellings. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the book! Calla was a strong heroine, well written & believable for her age. She showed maturity in many situations, yet also acted like a typical 17-year-old occasionally, just like most real life teens. I loved how the author wove the magic into the story so seamlessly that I wasn't pulled out of the story by my disbelief, and there was some pretty fantastical stuff in the story. Overall, the book was an enjoyable read & I highly recommend it for ages 13 & up.
Content concerns: only kissing mentioned, mention of nakedness (spoiler alert: one of Calla's siblings ends up being one of her teachers & he is characterized as not caring about being naked after he transforms from his wolf to his human form)

This story was a new twist on snowwhite. Fascinating read with characters that makes a sense of realism and still created a fantasy world. I hope to read more of M. J. Party's books.

This story was so good! It took me a bit to get into it, but the world building was beautiful and the story was very intriguing. I look forward to reading more of this series.
The narrator was good, and did a great job voicing the different characters.
