Couldn’t stand the writing style and the mc gave exposition in the most pretentious way

okay well I finished it. I wanted to like this book so bloody bad and now here I am saying please pick up this book with low expectations so you can actually have fun. I had the best time with this book when I was reading parts of it to my friends on voice chat but good lord reading it on my own was a slough.
there is a good story in here. I can feel it. but this is not a good story. it's undercooked and runny and feels like I am reading a first draft that badly needed an unfeeling editor.

This book was my first foray into both the works of Ben Alderson and LGBTQ+ fantasy works, and I can honestly say I have not looked back since. This book opened my eyes to a whole new genre of books that I have not been able to stop reading since.
Jak is a strong and brave character who must decide whether his family’s legacy is stronger than his own sense of right and wrong. He is an interesting character that develops nicely throughout this book.
Marius is burdened with a curse that makes him into a vicious beast, but his real personality shows through when he interacts with Jak as the story progresses. he is dark and broody throughout the beginning of the book but learns to deal with his guilt towards the end.
The relationship development of enemies to lovers between Marius and Jak is in keeping with the original story idea of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and I love this retelling.
Whilst this book is not completely grammatically correct and there are a few spelling errors in some places, I am fully in love with both the characters, their relationship and the story arc as a whole. This was the first book for a while that I read in one sitting; I simply couldn’t put the book down.

Vampiro y brujo que pasan de enemigos a amantes, unido con un poco del toque de la Bella y la Bestia, con mansiones encantadas y bestias encerradas.
Así de fácil se resume, bien sencillo me ha parecido.
