“No matter what happens after this moment, I want you to know that I don’t regret anything.”
“You give so much of yourself, without regard for your own life. You give openly with kindness in your heart and life at your fingertips.”
“This is me, pure and unadulterated, and nothing and no one will keep me from what I want.”
I really enjoyed this Beauty and the Beast retelling. A human healer kidnapped and forced to stay in the Fae realm to help the Fae Prince that turns into a beast every night… definitely my cup of tea. For the most part, the characters made a good group to follow along, with their banter and friendship and secrets. Their secret mission definitely has good promise to the plot, and the secrets and revelations as the book progresses had me hooked. I didn’t score it any higher because I felt like some of the plot wasn’t fleshed out enough, some parts felt way to easy to accomplish, and others were glossed over. Some questions about their journey and the curse was barely answered and I’m hoping that they’ll eventually be more described as the series goes on. Some of the writing and verbiage didn’t feel as mature as the storyline. But overall, I kept thinking about this one until I finished and it was a pretty good book!
