๐ฆ Twisted Fairytale
๐ค Medieval Vibe
๐ฆ Great Tension
๐ค Sequel (but could be read as a standalone)

So I didn't love this as much as I liked Hooked, but I still had a good time.
The Lion King vibes were on point. The forbidden love between Sara B. (FMC) and Tristan (MMC) is tantalizing, and I love the medieval vibe of this book.
But, I just didn't feel very attached to either of our MCs, and the pacing often felt a little bit *too* slow for me, personally. Our scarred prince wasn't as morally grey (imo) as Hook from Book 1. I also found Sara kind of... annoying, and her worldview felt very repetitive throughout.
It's a solid 3-star from me. Fun, and mostly captivating, with some great tension, sexy, and a unique fairytale spin. Some of the quotes from our MMC are honestly *to die for* as well. ๐ฅ
I'm enjoying these reads as kind of not-too-serious, spicy fairytale palate cleansers.
