After seeing so much about it online, I got curious and decided to get my hands on it to give it a try: and I was right to do so!
It did not take me too long to get pulled deep into the story and to get intrigued by the plot. I really like seeing how Jak and Marius got to interact with each other and learn more about their stories.
It was an interesting twist on the Beauty and the Beast tale: the magic aspect of it kept me intrigued as to how it would all turn out. But what I liked most was to learn more about Marius, even if I am still left wishing we got more depth on his past.
In short, this was a nice read that I finished in a couple of hours and would gladly pick up again to read again! Easy to understand and to get into!

The sex scenes were sexy and fun and definitely evoked the correct kind of response in me. I will say however they were extremely idealistic and there were some moments I wished were described in more details (it felt in a couple places like the author had finished and wanted to move on). But I thoroughly enjoyed them overall.
My biggest qualm with this book is not getting to see the feast at the end, it took away some of the catharsis (also wouldn’t have minded seeing the fuckfest that would have followed).
Did I enjoy this book? Hell Yes I did.
Will I be reading the sequel? I am aware that the sequels to this book don’t follow Jak and Marius however I enjoyed the writing and world enough that yes I do think I will be picking up the next book.
