My Dark Beast by Olivia Wildenstein

1.0

---

My major dislike for the book was the MMC, Tarian, too possessive of Calanthe too early on, walking red flag, I know that some people enjoy that kind of a man in their books, but it wasn't for me. Tarian being a headache aside, I felt like the overall plot just felt a little lackluster/confusing. A lot takes place in the dream world, which was very chaotic. All leading up to eventually finding Tarian and settling everything afterwards. Also absolutely lost a star for the crime of calling Calanthe, Calamity. I wanted to hit my head against a wall. For anyone who enjoyed this book and gave it 5 stars, I'm happy your experience was better than mine. This book was a few chapters too long, could have probably done with less dream sequences where Tarian is throwing a tantrum at what Calanthe is doing IRL, saving his ass  while he growls about her being his, while and having huge distrust for her through out the book. Accusing her several times for having feelings for his Malachi or Symeon. I thought it couldn't get any worse, until he got pissy about her sitting next to one of them and breathing the same air as her while her body was in the real world sleeping.
