For Jak’s whole life his has been trained to kill the beast that has consumed all of his coven’s power except his. Now it is time to meet the vampire Marius, except his story becomes much different than the one Jack was told.

MLM romance, Blood Kink, 2 1/2 🔥

I am not a fan of myth retellings. That’s pretty much my only qualm with this book. This is a pretty interesting retelling of beauty and the beast, full of horror and spice. And the ending is quite the twist, too. I’m just the type of person that cringed at every familiar trope. I almost quit reading at the library. It’s a testament to the writing that I finished it. If you enjoy books inspired by beauty and the beast and horror, this is a great book. It’s just not my cup of tea. But I hope it’s true fans find it and show it all the appropriate love.

“Grief is a silent assassin, lurking in the dark of one’s soul, ready to cloak any light in shadow.”

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales. So, I'm always looking for retellings of this fairy tale. However, I can seem to find one retelling that I truly love. A Court of Thorns and Roses was marked as a Beauty and the Beast retelling but I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how that trainwreck of a book is a retelling. So I was a little reticent when I discover this book. But I decided to read it!

I really liked this book. It is not what I expected from a retelling, but it is a solid book. As a retelling, I think that it falls a little too short (but, at least, it can be considered as a retelling). As a story, it is a solid and well-developed story. The characters are interesting and well-written. The plot twists happen at the right time and are completely unexpected.

Overall, it's a solid story that I recommend if you're looking for retellings that can be their own story.
