A review by cassialanereads
The Masks and The Dancer by Bea Paige

5.0

Wow wow wow

She really outdid herself on this one. It's dark and twisted with a whole lot of spice and the plot is captivating until the last second. What I love about Bea Paige books is that they have their own identities but they flow so well together. She continues to give readers a piece of the characters from other series to keep you hooked to make you want to reread that series over and over again. You can get lost in their universes and feel like you're along for the ride.

The way that Bea can tell a story and bring her characters to life. It takes an incredible talent to describe feelings and actions. Including playing music, singing a long song, dancing, or even painting. You not only see what is going on but feel every emotion.

I was so excited to read this book. I know that it was going to be darker than anything Bea has written. I kept counting down the days until the release day. Lucky for me I got chosen to be on the ARC Team and my torture was cut short haha.

What I love about this series and all Bea Paige books are that you feel protected as a reader. She thinks about the readers and what the outcome of her writing affects our emotions and feelings. She continues to push the envelope while never losing the intricate plot. I have felt like sometimes authors write a cliffhanger to just add a cliff hanger but with Bea Paige I don't feel that way. Every word has a place on the page and every page has a place in the chapter.

The kink and spice have meaning within the book. I feel like sometimes authors just throw in spice just to add it but that isn't the case with her books. She allows readers to explore different worlds of kink without being ashamed. It is a beautiful thing and it's safe.

The thought and time that have gone into the Masks, Kristys, the numbers, and the rest of the characters shows on every page. You can relate to her characters and the care that she puts into every book. You will definitely go on a crazy ride on this one and it sets up so many book series that I am dizzy just thinking about them!

You will finish this book quickly because you won't want to let the book out of your sight. I highly recommend this book and I can't wait to see where Bea takes us next!
