I love retellings/reimaginings. Deadly Desires is book one in the Twisted Tales series and it is not a soft fairytale. It's sharp, cold, and unapologetically dark, and it knows exactly what it’s doing.
This is Snow White stripped of innocence and dropped into obsession, control, and survival. Wynter starts as the classic outsider, but what really grabbed me was how quickly the story pushes her out of victimhood and into something more dangerous: awareness. She doesn’t just endure the darkness around her; she learns how to move inside it.
Kaden is every morally gray nightmare you expect and then some. Possessive, powerful, and terrifying in the way only a man who believes he owns you can be. And yet, there are moments where the cracks show. Not enough to make him safe, but enough to make him compelling. Their dynamic lives in that uncomfortable space between attraction and fear, and this book never pretends otherwise, and that is something I really loved about it.
This story doesn’t romanticize darkness, but it does lean into it. Love here is messy, dangerous, and entwined with power. If you’re looking for a fairytale retelling that plays nice, this isn’t for you. If you want something twisted, intense, and willing to sit in uncomfortable themes, Deadly Desires delivers.
As always be mindful of trigger warnings, what I like you may not.
Happy Reading!

"Bound by darkness, trapped by obsession."
I was hooked from start to finish on this retelling story of snow white.
It's dark, twisted, cold and beautiful. It's a rollercoaster ride with twists and turns. It's filled with action, drama, obsession, control, survival, revenge, power, love, pain, spice, pregnancy, kidnapping and so much more.
Wynter and Kaden navigate a deadly path, but their love becomes the beacon to light the way. A world where trust and love are dangerous. We have secrets revealed, revenge plan, and a world that has no idea what's coming.
Great plot,characters and storyline.
Highly recommend!!

Snow White x Mafia
I enjoyed the story overall. The story kept to the idea of Snow White while inter-playing mafia elements. The premise of the story was good although I do feel the transition from captive to madly in love happened very quickly. Wynter ends up discovering that she can be strong and ultimately gets her own revenge, through the help of Kaden. I would have liked to see the story develop more over time and would have liked to see a longer book as I think it would have helped. Overall a great read that I enjoyed.

This is a dark and twisty Snow White retelling with proper bite.
Winter’s stuck with a genuinely unhinged stepmother before getting dragged into the dangerous world of Kaden Prince and his biker club.
It’s intense, dramatic and packed with obsession, secrets and that whole ‘Is this love or is this a red flag?’ energy.
If you’re into morally grey heroes, dark romance and a fairytale that’s been well and truly put through the wringer, this one’s a gripping read. Not exactly cosy bedtime material, but it’s definitely addictive.

Deadly Desires is book 1 in the Twisted Tales series and it's a fantastic, fast-paced, short read. A Snow White retelling where MC meets Mafia meets modern day fairytale retelling and it quickly pulls you in. Kaden Prince, President of the Deadly Seven MC and Wynter Blanc are our main characters and they take us on one heckuva journey. From start to finish this story is entertaining and engaging with great characters.

This was a different twisted take on a retelling of Snow White. I enjoyed it very much: obsession, caged castle, breaking of the mind, body and soul. Great writing and characters in this one. You don’t want to miss this one!
