It's an interesting premise, well written, but just too dark for me.

4/5 stars!

This book is very steamy, and I mean very. It has Disney Villains and some very saucy moments. Some moments I thought went a little bit too far that I wasn’t really into but overall this was a lot better than I expected.

I loved this book. This is a retelling of Aladdin, and it was awesome. I actually loved the glow up of Yasmine in this story. She was a total badass, and Jafar was into it. That was even hotter. He was not afraid to see her light shine. A great book. Very sexy. It starts off spicy and stays that way.
