Q: What would you do if you could save someone but ruin yourself in the process?
-
The beast. The creature that stalks the forbidden wood. The dragon prince. He has suffered a fate worse than death. We all have. A curse put upon us by the mad king. We are a kingdom locked in time. Shifters unable to feel our animals. Stuck here by a deal between the late king and a demon who seeks our destruction. The only one keeping this kingdom alive is Nyfain, the golden prince to a stolen throne. The last dragon shifter. He's our hope. He's my nightmare. When he catches me trespassing in the forbidden wood, he doesn't punish me with death, as he's entitled. He takes me, instead. Forces me back to the castle as his prisoner. Seeks to use me. Apparently, I can save him. I can save the whole forgotten kingdom, locked away by the demon king's power. But it would mean taming the monster beneath his skin. It would mean giving myself to him. It would mean my ruin.
-
I have conflicting thoughts on this book. Some parts of it I really enjoyed (the bits where there was an actual storyline) and parts I did not. To me there was so much unnecessary dialogue and world building. So much so that it got confusing and distracted from the plot and the main point of the book. The male MC was very possessive and changed his mind about what he wanted so many times that it was almost like the female MC’s feelings/emotions were a game to him. Despite this, will I still read the next two in the series because I own them? Yes, yes I will. For me it was 3 stars.

Been seeing this on booksta so I had it on my ebook to read. So now that I’ve read it, buckle up for my thoughts.
The writing is painfully horrible.
To be honest, I thought it would be better but I was taken back by how awkwardly crude, cringed and bad it is. I think the author is really trying to have this humorous and sassy voice of the heroine but it didn’t turned out well.
Another thing is that I honestly did find it funny in a bad way because the story was more of that of a trashy, modern, erotic novel?
Although I did find the take of Beauty and the Beast ; shape-shifting take interesting thing it was disappointing because of the writing.
I am truly intrigued on the characters and want to delve more in them even though the writing really did do them bad for real like the story really had the potential if the writing went to the fantasy type of a writing (if you get me, you get me) so that was really disappointing.
I am still interested in where the story goes so I will definitely have this series under my watch list.
Overall, this was a fail and a disappointing take of a fantasy, retelling of Beauty and the Beast. 2.5 ⭐️

I don't think there was a single page where sex wasn't mentioned. Kinda cringe.
