Beast
by A. Zavarelli
Trigger Warning: This is a dark romance novel. It contains scenes such as abuse, kidnapping and degradation. This book is not for everyone and read at your own risk.
Beast is a dark romance retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It's fast-paced, edgy and gritty. Multiple times the scenes made me uncomfortable and it's definitely cringe worthy. The book is about a popular singer Isabella Rossi. Being a Pop Princess is not what she wanted to be. It doesn't speak to her soul but for publicity she will. Her father works in an agency and was reportedly missing. She's advised not to meddle on her father's business and must keep herself safe because her life is in danger.
Javier Castillo is a mysterious and dangerous man with a grievous past. He plans to seek revenge by abducting Isabella and break her soul in every possible way. However, he's mesmerized by her beauty and innocence and was undeniably attracted to her. Will he be able to fight this attraction and continue his revenge or he'll give in to her despite of being a monster?
The plot is good and intense. It reminds me of Raw by Belle Aurora and Debt by Nina G. Jones. However, the character development was minimal and I'm not a fan of Javier. He's a psychopath and all the things he did to Bella was unforgivable. Bella was okay, she's a little weak though.
