Another great and smutty book in the Never After Series. It never fails to make me smile when the villain gets their happy ending. Finding out the hero was not so heroic after all makes you love the villain that much more. This fractured fairy tale retelling of Lion King is amazing. The scarred prince and the mad king facing off throughout the book just further proves there are two sides to every story.
A few of my favorites quotes from the book...
"His tone is deep. As if it was made in hell, then woven through silk. A gentle caress that singes your senses."
"That's the difference between me and other people. They run away from the bad things, and I become them."
"But our strength is impatience. In planning. That is what topples empires. Together we rule, divided we fall."
"Death inevitably changes you. "
"I'll be damned if this woman wasn't molded in the heavens and plucked from the sky just for me. "
