Beast by A. Zavarelli
4.0

Holy shit. That was so intense. OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! Zavarelli has a way of making you love the monster. Of making you understand and accept all the bad, immoral and irrepressible acts. This is some seriously effed up twist of Beauty and the Beast....definitely not the Disney version. The warning Zavarelli gives you at the beginning is warning enough that this book is going to trigger every thing imaginable...and you are going to gobble up those words as if your next breath dependent on it.

I'm still reeling from that rollercoaster ride. Bella and Javi were...intense. Javi, a man with unbelievable capabilities and a brain to match implements his plan for revenge. And to get it, he uses the daughter of the man he is trying to hurt, Bella. The things that happened in that house....sweet baby Jesus and all the angels above. I read over scenes. Went back again and again. And was still flabbergasted that Zavarelli put pen to paper and wrote those things. Dark and twisted. Evil and gut wrenching. And beautifully written.

I really thought [b:Ghost|31682917|Ghost (Boston Underworld, #3)|A. Zavarelli|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1472195524s/31682917.jpg|51383662] was the darkest book I've ever read but this is coming in close. Go on and read this book to see human strength and perseverance. It's awe-inspiring and terrifying what one can endure.
