Desperate Measures by Katee Robert
4.0
dark fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is my first Katee Robert's book and I quite enjoyed it.

This a retelling of Aladdin wherein Jafar is Jasmine's love interest.

It follows a story wherein Jasmine's father has sold Jasmine to Ali and that they will eventually get married. But Jafar, wanting power and the kingdom, killed Jasmine's father and decided to own Jasmine from there on.

This is contains explicit and kinky scenes such as when Jafar and Jasmine had a sexual encounter and Hook was watching them. Or when Jafar told Meg that she can join them one time in one sexual encounter. Or when Hades and other men wanted to touch Jasmine but they could only watch how Jafar devours her.

This is also a queer book because of the scene where Meg wanted and craved for Jasmine's body.

I'm excited to read the whole series, as it is a retelling of the disney villains.
