The Beast by Jenika Snow

dark fast-paced

2.0

I was surprised at how short this was ! Unfortunately, it didn't really hit the mark for me. I felt like the dialogue was very repetitive to where I'm pretty sure there's a scene where the dialogue is copy/pasted from earlier.

There were a few moments in this book that were actually turn-offs for me instead.
Like when Belle got turned on by Beast murdering an entire group of men, including pulling the heart out of someones chest and giving it to her. As well as in the epilogue when he spits and splooges on her ass, and consideres that enough prep for anal sex. As someone who has had anal sex, scenes like that just make me cringe.


As for the spicy scenes, there is so much buildup to actual penetration, but then that part feels almost skipped over ? I was a bit confused at how glossed over the actual penetration was after everything else is described so much more in depth.

Overall, there are a few good scenes here, but I just found myself rolling my eyes way more than I would want in a book like this.
