4.5/5 stars! I devoured this book and really enjoyed the retelling of beauty and the beast! I’ve always loved that movie and it was nice to see their story from both POVs!

Enchant is a retelling of Beauty and The Beast, I have always enjoyed the innocence of fairytales and most retellings, however as it came to light early on, this is not a retelling for a younger audience. There is a rape scene at the beginning and an intimate wedding night scene at the very end.
It was an interesting spin on the favourite tale, lots of differences but there were hints of the original in it. It was darker but magical.
I liked the main characters, and the story flowed at an even pace.
Overall it was a good audiobook, it was fairly short, and the narrator kept me listening. The storyline was in the most part good, and if you are looking for a retelling with some adult content then you will like it.

Biased because i love Beauty And the Beast stories!
I did enjoy reading this book. I think I got it as a free kindle read but it also might have been from a giveaway, not sure I just know it on my freebie re-read shelf. The story builds nicely and I like the hints you get about other retellings that might be in the works. Once Zulieka connected the pieces, the ending kinda rushes towards you and her reasoning out how to fix the curse seemed overly complicated in explanations. Still glad they got the HEA they deserved!

Great retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
It had everything a fairy tale should - likable characters, good plot, easy to read, happy ending. It also had the required evil family member and a curse more elaborate than initially anticipated. All in all, this was a really enjoyable story
I received an advanced reader copy of this book and voluntarily provided this honest review.
