Never did I ever think I’d be crying while reading a book about fairies. 
Deducted points for SA?!?!? Triggered a few things inside me. 
Other than that…. (Lmao) Best book I’ve ever read.

Okay, this book was weak sauce. I want to say that I was told this was fairy smut, but it’s not; it’s romance with a fantasy element and that’s okay, but sheesh these characters are so unlikable. 

Having already read the second in the series, I’m just going to say I’m glad I proceeded with it. Everything is muuuuch better.

An adaptation of beauty and the beast, though I don’t think it’s marketed that way. I found the story and writing to be uninteresting and predictable. Worst of all, it’s  full of sexual assault that’s disguised as kink, but is actually just non consensual and predatory behaviour
