Ugh!
This really fell apart not that it was going that great to begin with. I think the whole thing would have been better and cleaner if it was two books instead of three. There were a couple things that just made no sense.
Wilde pushed Caroline to far making her pure evil. Caroline is certainly the villain of the midnight dynasty world but Wilde makes her unredeemable and her character is more complicated than that.
I came to really not like Haley. She spends a fair amount of time wallowing over how useless she is especially in an emergency and I very much agree with her. I thought maybe Wilde was setting her up for a strong kickass moment in the end, really glad I didn’t hold my breath for that.

Sooo many tears and soooo much pain! Haley and Leo were out against impossible odds, fighting against past and present demons. Their triumph was palpable and the journey to get there was filled with more downs then ups but that just made winning so much more sweeter. And as any good Beauty and the Beast retelling they lived happily ever after!

This was the conclusion that I was wanting when I started this series. This author has an innate ability to tell a story in a way that I, as the reader, get consumed by what is happening. This is one of the better retellings of Beauty and the Beast that I have read.
In each of the books, the characters have shown real growth and I live for that. They grew as the story grew. Both, Leo and Hayley managed to come into their own more in this last book, especially, Leo, and I have to say I was there for it. I liked watching him show his vulnerable side and getting in touch with his emotions. I understood that it was easier to be the villain, especially, when in the amount of pain that he was in, but seeing him soften was nice. It is not to say that he still isn't a beast of a man, because he is. However, Haley mellows him. She is like a soothing balm to his soul. Let me, also, not forget to mention the steam. The steam was HOT. Leo and his mouth. I shouldn't like it but sweet lord, I did. A LOT.
All of my previous questions were answered. I still hate Caroline with the fiery passion of 10,000 suns. Every book she has been in this Midnight Dynasty interconnected series has me wanting to reach through my kindle and shake her. That means the authors have done their job because there is nothing redeemable about her. NOTHING. There was also a cameo from one of my favorite guys. I liked that his appearance felt natural and like he should have been there. Especially, considering that they have something in common and ultimately was able to help Leo.
This book was almost perfect, except I wanted more of a resolution to Evil Queen Caroline as I wanted more payback. Still, this trilogy is dang good. One of my favorites of the Midnight Dynasty series and one of my favorites of 2021.

A wicked, but heartfelt finale to this dark twist of Beauty and the Beast.
I loved this whole twisted tale of Leo Morelli and Haley Constantine. Their love was unconventional, seemed impossible, and certainly defied the odds, but doesn't that make the best stories at the end of the day? The over resounding answer to that is YES!
Leo is known as the Beast of Bishop's Landing, but Haley is one of the few who truly sees the man behind the beast. A man consumed by pain and anger who protects those behind the scenes to keep up his beastly mask, but as we come to learn Haley not only receives that protection up front, but she accepts both the beast and the man which is all he's ever looked for his entire life. He will do anything to keep her safe, even if it means letting her go.
Haley is all in and wants to be with Leo, which should be perfect, the complication comes in with the Constantine family. They will never allow her to be with a Morelli no matter how much Leo and Haley want to be together. She wants to be with Leo, but could it do more damage staying together?
The entire story is heartbreaking, because anyone familiar with the Beauty and the Beast tale knows that the Beast is really a good guy under all of his blustering and has to let his Belle go even though he loves her and everyone within Belle's world believes the Beast is so horrible and no matter how much she has grown to love him no one will believe he isn't an awful person.
Amelia took all of the wonderful things I loved about the classic tale along with all the wicked things I love about dark romance and mashed them together. It truly has been the best of both worlds and loved reading every page.

What a fantastic ending to an amazing series that only got better and better and one that you won't want to look away from or you'll miss something. I couldn't wait to read this final book especially after that ending in Bk2 wholly moley did Amelia bring her A game to this Constatine vs Morelli fight there were times I thought how was Leo going to pull this off, but don't worry he had someone more dangerous as his backup. Thats all I'm going to say if you've been reading this series you'll not want to miss this final book it'll have you wanting to get stabby that's for sure...well maybe that was just me, but you'll be feeling all the feels. Definitely a must read to finish out the series.
This final chapter in Leo and Haley's story was perfect, and so much more than I could have expected. Their love is raw, and sometimes broken, but always emotional and heartfelt.
Several times while reading this story I was worried, worried that the outcome of this couple would not be as beautiful as I needed it to be. They fractured and broke apart so many times, and finally found the glue to put them back together and make they stick as one.
The Beast of Bishop's Landing is now the Prince of Bishop's Landing, as he always should have been.
