This book begins rather abruptly and plonks you right in the middle of this parallel universe of Carver city, so that was a little jarring. But it’s a shorter book, so I get it. However, you soon get immersed in this dirty, dark, kinky world where heroes are villains and villains are the true MVPs. As promised, Jasmine and Jaffar’s story is dark, Forbidden, and deliciously sexy. Although the main characters in this one didn’t grab me as much as Hades whose story I’m already looking forward to so very much, this was quick, compelling read.

I really really had a hard time getting into it because of the names but after that it was smooth sailing.
I WAS HOPING THEY REDEEMED JASMINE! and that they did all HAIL QUEEN JASMINE!

It was okay. I don't know if it's necessarily my type of book.

ugh i wish i liked this.
it was more a smutty book than it was an actual retelling and i'm gravely disappointed by it. plot was attempted but i genuinely feel like it could've been dragged out. jazmine has been kept sheltered her whole life and then all of a sudden her life is surrounded by sex? no adventuring, no seeing what she likes, nothing, and then by the end she just happens to take her place as 'queen'? the romance lacked, and there was absolutely no chemistry between these two characters. and it sucks because i've read good fairy tale retellings with great romance!
