A Beauty & the Beast x The Labyrinth fantasy retelling?? Um YES please! 

Executed beautifully, my only small critique is that the modern world parts are not as strongly written as the fantasy aspects. It potentially just needs a little tweaking, but nonetheless it didn’t impact my enjoyment of this book whatsoever. 

Enver is a total dreamboat book boyfriend and those shadows are something else, wheewww! I’m delighted that this is the first in a series, because I couldn’t get enough of the two main characters and wasn’t ready to let them go by the end. 

Sometimes my impulsive mood reading choices pay off, and this is certainly one of those times!

I ADORE Opal Reyne’s Duskwalker series, so when I saw this one…with DRAGONS I was all in.

However, there was something here that didn’t quite twig with me. The writing felt off, it wasn’t as polished as Duskwalkers and it was quite clunky to get through.

Despite this, I still had a good time. The plot had twists I never saw coming. And there’s definitely some *situations* the FMC finds herself in that will make you question your preferences in romance. 

A nice, fast paced romance which definitely helped as a palette cleanser between some hefty, darker reads I have going on now.

I’m starting to learn that Pam Godwin can write anything and I’ll lap it up. 

A phenomenal start to a dark, gripping series (where every book is a standalone).

Check the TW for this one folks, it’s dark, it’s disturbing and it’s spicyyyy.

I’m just not over how cleverly intertwined all these books are. It’s absolute magic.

Honestly, these are just SO easy to sit and read. They’re cute, they have such fantastic relationships and characters and some really nice, inclusive, character building. I’m actually a little upset that there are only 4, I could read so many more.

A super easy to follow plot and I’m such a sucker for big, overprotective and inexperienced MMC. This got me right out of a slump and I’m absolutely going to be reading the rest

Lovely little additions to the series! It’s recommended to read this as 6.5, but the last 2 stories really should be read after book 7 so I’d definitely class it more as 7.5.
