Not for the faint of heart, this book and it's series are fairly intense fantasy erotica. A good read, but if sexuality or bondage make you uncomfortable, steer clear of these.

This erotica is for those aroused by non consent, humiliation and degradation.
Not my thing.
I was curious where it was going so finished it. 
Writing and narration was fine.

The 3 Sleeping Beauty books were terrible IMO. They were very difficult to read due to the graphic and sometimes a bit violent sexual descriptions.

Kind of a train wreck, but one I couldn’t put down.

grotesquely erotic. first half was actually kind of good if you are someone with cnc fantasies and the grimms fairytale itself was already quite dark. it just devolved towards the end and i got sick of the dialogue between the other prince and beauty, it got awfully repetitive. i think exploring the taboo in fiction is necessary but don’t read this if you aren’t a fan of the heavily fetishized dark themes
