Heavy on the Beauty and the Beast vibes. Like quite literally just felt like I was reading Beauty and the Beast with a slight Hades/Persephone twist. 

It was enjoyable enough but just didn't feel very original? Like there's "Beauty and the Beast inspired" and then there's this. 

There were original aspects to the story don't get me wrong but those parts seemed kind of glossed over and not explained very clearly- and the ending just kind of came out of nowhere and everything was quickly wrapped up in a neat bow. 

The chemistry between the main characters was on and off- would've liked more tension/banter.

Still an enjoyable enough read I'd recommend giving it a go if you like Beauty and the Beast!
