A review by eminwords
The Virgin and the Beast by Stasia Black

1.0

well tampon (tamlin) has finally found his adult romance counterpart in xavier. i HATED this book.

i’m irritated negative rating doesn’t exist because this book is actually -5/5 stars. i know i read it to rot my brain but not this level of brain rot.

with romanticisation of abuse, misunderstanding of bdsm, racial stereotyping, romanticisation of mental illness and using them as plot conflicts, to american propaganda and islamophobia... my hate for this knows no bounds.

i’d plead with goodreads to give negative ratings but i know the racist of gr with target poc so i have to be content with showing my rage with 1 star rating.

i can’t believe i actually hated a beauty and the beast retelling, i’m trash for the trope. the more i think the more i hate this book, best to stop thinking about it now.
