Loved it! 😍

Snow White's revenge, seven deadly sins, vampire HOTTIES. Strictly an 18+ book due to very graphic adult content.

The best way to introduce Seven Sins of Snow is with Loxley Savage's own words. "If you are a dirty, kinky shit like myself, then by all means, dive right in." It's a reverse harem paranormal romance dark retelling of the tale of Snow White. We all know the basics of her story, so I don't need to go over that. However, in this world, there are also legends of the "lurkers." Creatures in dark robes who only appear at night. The townspeople believe they're monsters. But these mysterious figures haunt Snow's dreams, beckoning her to find them. What is more terrifying? The devil you know, or the devils you don't?

Seven Sins of Snow is filthy fun. Unlike many reverse harems, this is more of a slow burn. Loxley manages to combine so many things into one book. Snow White, the seven deadly sins, vampires, spicy romance, and a gratifying revenge plot. One of the high points of the novel is that each king represents a different sin. Their sins influence how they act and what each king enjoys between the sheets. The only example I'll give doubles as a content warning. (M/M play) The king of greed needs it all, so he is happiest when he can give and receive. I won't spoil any other kinks because that would ruin the fun.

It can get a little repetitive, especially in the first 30-35%. Snow is tortured, sexually assaulted, beaten, starved, mutilated, humiliated, and chained for the first third of the book. When she's finally with her kings, even they degrade her at times. The torture she endures is so endless that the climax falls short of being satisfactory. Lastly, it can be incredibly self-indulgent to the point of being cringeworthy at times.

I rated it 3.5 out of 5 stars. Since that's not actually an option, I put four. Because I want people to read it, and I want her to keep writing. (Immediately, if possible, thanks.) I enjoyed reading it, but there are glaring issues with the plot, character arcs, and pacing. It's not for everyone. You have to be prepared to be uncomfortable and even disturbed at times. You have to go into it promising to leave all inhibitions and realistic ideals behind. It's the first of Loxley Savage's books that I've read, and after finishing it, I immediately downloaded another one.

For my last words, I'll say this. Would I recommend Seven Sins of Snow to my mother? No. But my filthy friends? Yes.

I am 28 and recently rediscovered my love of books. In the last year I've read over 125 books and found that I love reviewing and sharing my love of them just as much as consuming them. I write reviews on my blog, and share them across several reviewing sites and across my social media pages.
