Once Upon A Broken Crown: A Fairytale Retelling Anthology by Erin O'Kane
4.0
This is a review of Twisted Debt by Amarie Avant & Xavier Neal in the Once Upon A Broken Crown Boxset.
Zel’s father owes a debt to a billionaire. To settle that debt, he had to give his daughter to the man. As her father leads her to Elias Whittington’s penthouse, she realizes that it’s not for a fancy dinner.
Signing the dotted lines sealed her fate.
Elias Whittington is a man with a very specific desire. He wants Zel as his toy. She will be his for the next three months. Her manipulative father handed over his daughter to pay his debt, and now she’s Elias’s doll.
She will let her hair down for him.
Confused is the word I would use to describe what I felt reading the early chapters. A lot made little sense, and I was as confused as Zel was. I somehow expected her to fight Elias, to talk back and tell him she won’t just obey a strange man’s requests, but she obeyed him right away and enjoyed everything he did. And when I got to see more of her background, I understood why. Being the one to take care of everyone is a challenge. When a handsome man offers to take care of you, you’ll want to know what it feels like.
Elias’s background story is unknown. He’s mysterious. And somehow Zel got under his skin and tore down his walls. I would’ve loved to read more of his backstory, but not having to see it made him more of an enigma.
The writing in this book was a bit confusing at first, but as the story progressed, it made sense. The emotional parts are well written. I might’ve read some scenes with my hands covering my face.
