Entreat Me is a captivating and dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast that is full of unexpected twists and a delightful ensemble of characters. The story follows the protagonist as she journeys to an ancient castle with her sister, where she must protect her sister’s innocence while struggling with her growing attraction to the cursed warlord. The pacing is spot-on, and the writing style is engaging, with only a few minor errors that don’t take away from the overall experience. 

What truly sets this retelling apart from others is the fierce and determined heroine, the witty and charming banter with Ambrose the sorcerer, and the heartfelt bond between the two sisters. The unique magic, rich atmosphere, and well-developed characters elevate this story to new heights. If you're a fan of mature Beauty and the Beast retellings with plenty of heart, enchanting magic, and depth, this book is a must-read!
