The Fall Of Snow
Not many can say they’ve cheated death thrice.
As the sole heir to her family’s fortune—and with her mother’s magical ability to turn spells into profit—Snow is worth more dead than alive. Despite having eliminated several huntsmen her mother has dispatched, she can't keep running. With her magic on the fritz, Snow only has her wits to rely on. But it's only a matter of time before a huntsman skilled enough catches up to finish the job.
When a tumultuous storm forces her to take sanctuary in a cabin at the edge of the forest, Snow finds herself in the middle of the infamous Arion Warrior Camp, leaving her to bargain with the brooding, arrogant captain—Huck that ignites a flame within her she didn’t see coming. But Huck’s sword is spoken for, and they may call in his bond any day.
As more huntsmen close in, Snow’s running out of time. She may lose her heart to the one person she’s trusted enough to hold it or her life to the woman who gave it to her.
Will Snow have what it takes to face her mother and conquer? Or will she do what her mother’s always dreamed of—fall?

Abso-freakin-lutely phenomenal!!!!! This Snow White retelling had everything I was looking for and plots twists that I was not expecting. Snow being on the run, while her mother has huntsman after her, she finds herself stumbling into a cottage. A cottage of warriors!!!! This book has such a fun way to introduce who is Doc, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, Dopey, Happy and Grumpy. Their personalities made me feel like I knew them myself and watching their found family dynamic is exquisite! This slow burn had some edging to make you wait which made it all the more fun. I am not excitedly anticipating Book 2's arrival. ✨️📚✨️

"Tell me, Snowflake. What are you running from?"
There’s something so special about a retelling that adds depth and nuance to the traditional story. Tara does just that with Snow. In less than 300 pages she manages to not only weave an intricate web of complexity into Snow as a character, but her entire story as a whole.
Snow is fierce, determined, and strategic. She does not back down from a fight, and I really loved that. From the beginning you are shown her resilience and you find yourself routing for her right away. Huck is deliciously mysterious, and their tension was perfect. The found family was done so well and I love how the original story material fed into that aspect. The magic was very interesting and unique without ever being confusing. Evangeline was a fantastic villain, with her jealousy and desire for power propelling her to kill the daughter she once eagerly welcomed. I loved having POVs for her, and I thought that doing them in third person was brilliant.
Truly such an overall amazing book! The timing of shorter stories can be difficult, but Tara handles it beautifully. It never felt rushed or difficult to follow, and every bit of it was important to the overarching story being told. Highly recommend not just for romantasy or fairytale retelling lovers, but for anyone who has a soft spot for beautiful found families and badass FMCs. I can’t imagine anyone not finding themselves lost in this story in the best way.

The Fall of Snow is everything I could ask for when looking for a good romance with plenty of spice AND a great story!
The heroine, Snow, is not only strong and beautiful but full of depth. The love interest, Huck (swoons) is real and raw and everything 🫠
I found myself immediately drawn into this story. Knowing the Snow White origin story, I love that this book has its fairy tale roots while feeling completely different and new. The slow burn romance is perfect and sexy. The story itself is epic and captivating. Just when you think you know the story of Snow White, you don't.

To start with, thank you so much @tarangabrys for letting me ARC read your new book!
✨ This book is out on 15 October! ✨
Tara N. Gabrys really does write the most amazing books! Under a Violet Moon was stunning, so I didn't think it was possible for another book to be equally as good. But this was!
Snow is on the run. Her own mother wants to murder her and has sent huntsmen to do the job. Who can Snow trust? Where will she be safe? She finally finds a group of warriors who she can stay with, but for how long? And will she be safe here? Snow is in for one hell of a journey, with an array of conflicted emotions.
This book was beautiful. I was there. The author writes so beautifully descriptive, it's so vivid. I could see Snow. I could smell the coffee. I could feel the fear in her journey. I grew to love some of these characters, and they started to feel like my own friends.
There are fight scenes which send your heart racing and you absolutely do not want to look away. This is one of those books which I'll think about one day and wonder if it was a book or a movie I watched. It felt so real.
I loved that we got chapters of Snow's mother. A perfect villain story! She was dangerous and emotionless, but we did get to learn her motives and why she didn't like her daughter, so much so, she wanted her dead.
We also have some romance and you guys, you'll love it! Very steamy and very, "who touched you?" vibes! So many emotions and fear surrounding this love interest. I was on edge always!
The character development was brilliant. The story was beautiful. So well written and gripping. Tara is a fantasy queen and I cannot wait to read more of her work! Grab Under a Violet moon and then pre-order this one. You don't want to miss out. These books deserve to be seen!!

I love retellings and this book did not fail. I love Snow because she is a strong female and not some weak whiny MFC. This book was pleasantly not predictable. I love that it threw me through some loops.
The only thing I would have loved more was to get to know the other characters/warriors more but I understand why it was not that way.

Tara has done it again! What an amazing read! I was hooked right from the beginning and was so invested in how the story was playing out.
The enemies to lover slow burn was killer and damn Huck has haunted my dreams ever since!
This grumpy x sunshine Snow White retelling played in my head like a movie, and the ending had me in pieces!
I loved how Tara retold this story, it was unique and spicy all in one.
This is a must read for everyone who loves fairytale retellings, I loved the chapter titles, the POV from our evil mother villain, and the unique magic was just the cherry on top!

I have mixed feelings about this book. There were some parts I enjoyed, but also some parts that I disliked.
I enjoy fairytale retellings, and the premise of the story was great. I also liked the FMC and felt like she was a strong character.
But I personally didn’t feel the connection and chemistry between her and the MMC. I also would have preferred the warriors to be better introduced.
I felt like there was too much inner monologue and would have preferred to have more dialogue, and also more showing instead of telling.
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.

Reading The Fall of Snow is like settling into a soft blanket with a warm cup of tea - an enchanting, fast-paced, and heartfelt retelling of Snow White with a modern, spicy twist.
Tara's fresh take on Snow gives the beloved princess a badass makeover, showcasing her resourcefulness and courage while retaining the genuine warmth and kindness that defines her. This novel lovingly blends classic charm with a bold new perspective, making it a truly engaging and memorable read.

I’m obsessed with this retelling of Snow White’s story. I could not put it down once I picked it up. Tara did an amazing job with making Snow independent and resourceful and the warriors she stumbles upon unique, but recognizable. There is a slow burn romance with a MMC that I immediately had a crush on. I would absolutely recommend this book to anybody who is into romance, fantasy, justice, strong FMC, and a hot, but grumpy MMC.
Snow’s mom is evil. She kills whoever gets in her way, even if that is her own daughter. Snow is left with no other options than to run from home. Running into and killing every huntsman sent her way, a storm finally forces her to wind up in a cabin that is occupied by 7 warriors, one of which is a very grumpy captain. She bargains her way into staying and makes friends with everybody in the warrior cabin. Her mother uses her magic mirror to locate Snow and she sends additional huntsman after her. What will it take for Snow to be able to live in peace and is she willing to do what it takes?

I loved this book , I loved all the spicy scenes as well as how it took a different turn on Snow White , but with a happy but yearning for the next book ending!

Loved this retelling of Snow White! I was immediately drawn into the enemes to lovers (one of my fave tropes) and the world was very creative. I love that Snow had a unique gift of Fuzing - so cool - and very inventive. If you like a more adult version of Snow White this is for you! can't wait to read the second book!

Tara’s retelling of the classic Snow White story is filled with charming takes on the story we all love, original ideas (especially the magic!), beautiful lines of description and a plot twist that dropped my jaw.
The ending felt a bit rushed to me and I had a hard time connecting to/believing some of the characters, but overall it’s a fun and inspiring retelling. Great job, Tara!

There’s been a lot of Snow White retellings done over the years but I loved how unique this one was!
In this story Snow is on the run from her mother and has already killed several huntsmen that have been sent after her. An injury and bad storm lead her to seek shelter in a cabin on the edge of the forest. This cabin is home to seven(!) warriors and she must make a deal with the grumpy captain to remain sheltered through the winter. But huntsmen are still being sent after Snow and she’s struggling to get control over her magic. Will Snow have what it takes to face her mother and survive, or will she end up losing her heart?
Pros:
The way apples were included in the story was so cool. Snow and her mother have the magical ability of fuzion which means they can imbue their orchards apples with magical properties. Anything from healing to hair loss and pain relief to poison. Snow’s mother uses these abilities to rise in the social hierarchy and be the most powerful person around, but once she realizes Snow has the promise of being even better with magic the training ends and Snow never fully learns how to use her power.
It made me sad that its Snow’s mother is the one after her and not a stepmother, but as someone with a toxic narcissistic mother I could relate a bit. Anyone’s fixation on power and being the top will always be their downfall.
TLDR: Great fairytale retelling with a strong heroine and amazing found family

A retelling of Snow White, Snow is a daughter born to a mother who resents that her daughter is more beautiful and more powerful than her with her inherited magic to fuze items with magical abilities like healing, changing appearances, etc.
Tara’s Snow is more kickass than the Snow White most of us grew up with and I really enjoyed reading her journey of survival and strength. I couldn’t put it down and it only took me 4 hours to read as I really wanted to find out what happens next.
Looking forward to more stories from Tara!

My goodness.
I am quite the Huck fan.
All of the tropes that I needed in a romance/fairytale retelling were right here in The Fall of Snow.
We had forced proximity, found family, a strong female lead, magic, spice, and even a little bit of enemies to lovers!
I say ‘a little bit’ of enemies to lovers, because I wouldn’t say Huck and Snow were ever fully enemies.
It was more like they annoyed each other. But I think I liked it more this way, because Huck was just IT the whole time. He was never rude, dismissive, or unhelpful like we see in other enemies to lovers books. He was Team Snow the whole time and was almost immediately calling her “Snowflake”, which I LOVE because he was giving off major Flynn Rider vibes.
I thought a lot of their romance resembled that of Flynn and Rapunzel from Tangled and I can’t begin to explain how perfect that is. Huck was the perfect balance of arrogant, smug, and sensitive and the banter between him and Snow had me laughing out loud at times.
There was more to this story besides Huck and Snow (even though they were obviously my favorite part).
It was also really inspiring to watch Snow power through her mental barriers and become such a badass self confident character.
One thing I was worried about before reading the book, was how the 7 dwarves were going to play in.
Tara portrayed them perfectly, making them 7 warriors hellbent on protecting the ones they love.
I appreciated that the warriors weren’t over the top depictions of their cartoon counterparts. As a huge Disney fan, it was clear to me which warrior was which dwarf, but they weren’t overdone by any means, and I even got some of them mixed up when they were first introduced. I loved that they were still their own characters with their own interesting backstories and quirks.
All in all, I’ve read my fair share of fairytale retellings, some of them great, and some of them not so great.
I can tell you here and now that The Fall of Snow was GREAT. A wonderful book that I just couldn’t put down.
Also, do I feel a sequel coming on?

I was lucky enough to read this story in its earliest form and what a joy it was to read it at its end product.
A fairytale re-telling of Snow White, this novel starts with Snow on the run. Having survived her mother's three attempts at her life, Snow now runs from her huntsmen who are paid handsomely to bring her heart to Evangeline, the Lady of the Orchard. Hiding away in a warrior camp, Snow plans to run at the first site of Spring; however, she soon befriends the warriors and learns it will not be so easy to leave them. Attempting to fuze her magic as her mother once taught and secretly living in the warrior camp hoping her mother does not learn of her location, Snow falls for a particularly fierce warrior.
This book is for you if you are looking for magic, found family, and devoted friendship.

Where do I even start? This retelling of Snow White was perfection.
The “dwarves” were written so perfectly. Snow being an absolute badass instead of a damsel is just…🤌🏼 amazing writing.
The evil mother and atrocious step father dynamic… I have no notes.
I can’t wait for book 2 ❤️

This book delivers great suspense and rich world-building. Snow's battle for survival—against ruthless huntsmen, her own failing magic, and the dangerous allure of the brooding warrior Huck—keeps the pages turning with relentless tension and fiery chemistry. With a great blend of action, romance, and dark fantasy, this novel gripped me from the first page. A must-read for fans of spicy fairytales with a razor-sharp edge.
November 6, 2024
I really like that the author chose to use Grimm’s original story as an inspiration rather than their edited one in that the evil queen is was her mother instead of her stepmother. I didn’t enjoy how there is a perspective shift that also changed tense. The main narrative is in first person but every few chapters there was a pov shift to third person. I was confused and while I liked getting the evil queen’s pov, the execution ultimately took away from my enjoyment of the story.
December 24, 2024
A beautiful retelling of the classic Snow White story. It took me a little bit to get invested but once I sorted out who all the different warriors were I was hooked. Snow is a fierce FMC and her story deserved to be told. Thank you Tara.
October 17, 2024
Beautiful retelling of Snow White, that I absolutely fell for every single one of the characters. Snow is different in the fairytale though, she will do what she must to survive her vindictive mother and her huntsman. This leads her to hiding a closest in a cabin that turns out to be the home of 7 elite warriors. That is how this story begins and leads Snow not only finding her true strength but also the family that she has always needed. While the MMC find that one things he truly can not live without even if it would cost him everything he always thought he wanted. This is for sure a must read.
September 22, 2025
The Fall of Snow is an amazingly written NA fairytale retelling! With the addition of fuzion magic, turning the seven dwarves into warriors with unique personalities, and getting chapters from Queen Evangeline's perspective made this story fresh and new. I loved Huck and Snow's seamless romance arc and the action scenes were exciting and well written. I can't wait to read more by Tara!
November 13, 2025
I really enjoyed this Snow White retelling. Found family plays such a huge part of the story, as well as the strifes and complicated love of biological family. Family is complicated, relationships come with challenges, not everything is as it seems, and this book illustrates that beautifully. You fall in love with so many of the characters, it’s not just about the FMC and MMC. The characters felt real and by the end you feel like you actually know them. I’ve read 2 books by Tara Gabrys so far, and I really love her writing. I can’t wait to find out what happens next in this story.
November 24, 2024
The Fall Of Snow was a book that gave me all the emotions! I loved this book so much I feel like I don’t have enough words
To say how good it is. Snow the FMC made me feel like I knew her and could totally empathize with her situation. She is so tough and just fights for everything that matters to her! Her mother is something else! Huck the MMC turned out to be an awesome character you will fall in love with just like Snow. You have to read this book!

OH MY GOD
This is a book that just gives and gives, I've not read a fantasy book like this in months. This story is so well written I love a re-telling that is just fresh and innovating. My heart could not take it. I needed a brief pause at one point to collect myself over what I had just read. The last 70 pages, I don't think my heart slowed down at any point.

Review: Oh My God
Oh my God
OH MY GOD
This is a book that just gives and gives, I've not read a fantasy book like this in months. This story is so well written I love a re-telling that is just fresh and innovating. My heart could not take it. I needed a brief pause at one point to collect myself over what I had just read. The last 70 pages, I don't think my heart slowed down at any point.

First read from this author absolutely loved it! Think I’d get into it as I don’t typically read fairytale kind of books, but I was so wrong. The pace was perfect. The storyline was amazing. The twist at the end I never imagined, completely different turnout to the fairy tale. Can’t say much more without spoilers.

So glad I met this indie author at a book festival! Her book is a snow white retelling with adventure, a little spice, and so many little twists on the story! Excited for the next book!
