Bare with it because it is a slow burn but the pay off is really good. A really strong mix of characters but found the pace a little inconsistent. Felt the last part (most interesting was compressed into the last third of the book)

**Spolier** Interesting retelling of Beauty and the Beast and then some. **/Spoiler** Certain passages were especially gruesome, see content warnings.

Lil' miss Stockholm syndrome needs to get a grip. All of these people are awful.

Tamlin is so bland and also lies so much. I looked up who she ends up with and I'm so glad its not him... although Rhys is also awful.

 
Anyway I had fun despite it all so 2.25 stars
