A Ruin of Roses by K.F. Breene

5.0

Let's start off with the description of this book...a dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast? Yes please! As this book begins, you can definitely see the parallels between on of our favorite Disney stories and this story by K. F. Breene. However, at the same time it is equally different and unique, which pulls the reader in and transports you to a world you find yourself easily lost in. The MF character, Finley, is a force to be reckoned with and the author does an amazing job developing her. Finley's inner monologue is hilarious and relatable. Many characters in this book had me actually laughing out loud while reading. Do realize, however, that this is a DARK retelling, and she was not kidding when she said that. Knowing that going in, if you love dark romances, you will absolutely fall in love with this book and series. It is one that I will re-read over and over again.
