The Curse Behind The Mask by Holly J. Gill

Please note this contains spoilers.

I love dark adult fantasy but this is probably the worst one I read.

I say it take a couple fairy tale stories and ties to mash them up.

There is a queen and a prince. They live in the modern world and have a erotic ball where you can let your fantasy's come true even if it means killing your partner.

Prince choose his victim at the ball and once decided he suppose to let the queen know and she gets her ready. Well this one's a virgin and didn't read the TOS. So prince is freaking out. Doesn't want to hurt a virgin. Tires to give her pleasure but while he in-between her legs the queen who is watching calls him away and curses him to act like a beast. Prince ends up being sadistic on the girl. She mad blah blah. Prince has no idea what happen just wakes up in the girls blood.

So girl escapes and hate prince. He finds her and tries to tell him that he was cursed. The whole conversation is just super unrealistic for a fantasy book. She goes home finds out her dad sold her cause she was a virgin (also he was cursed) and she goes back to the princes home. She wants the truth. Yeah after a week I totally run back into the arms of the man who acted like a beast after being told he was cursed. Even more I have sex with him cause he promised to be sweet to me! Ugh.

You find out Queen is the princes half sister. Daddy had an affair. No back story nothing. Queen murder mommy and daddy. She hates the prince cause she just wants everything.

Also lets not forget Queen open Pandora box. How did she have Pandora's box? supposedly mommy and daddy were keepers of that box. So everyone cursed. They defeat the queen cause the girl told the prince she loved him. I know it fantasy but it been a week and being brutally raped AND you fall in love? Not buying it.

but it not over. Queen had the cursed guards seize them both. tells the story about murdering the prince's parents. It was a very dramatic page and half of nothing. she puts another curse on the prince but this time to kill the girl. Well guess what it didn't work. Why? Cause prince did his own magic. The now not cursed guards take the queen away and the book says THE END.

It an 85 page story of sex.

Only thing I liked is that the book was free on the kindle and I didn't have to spend any money.
