This started out strong, but by the end it just felt like yet another Beauty and the Beast retelling with an ending I saw coming from a mile away. Honestly, I could have still loved it even with a largely recycled plot, but the romance was not well written and made me physically cringe at times. Sometimes the tropes and obvious plots are what I’m in the mood for, but this was in need of a few more twists and turns to really hold my interest. Taking into consideration that this was a debut novel, I will still give this series another shot. With a little more experience, I think this author might produce some excellent books.
