And this series, so far, doesn’t disappoint.

I sincerely wasn’t, because I’ve read enough of her books to know that she is, to use an understatement, great.

Some were, perhaps, dubious about how it would turn out. Breene went all in with her Deliciously Dark Fairy Tales, her adult Beauty and the Beast retelling. WARNING: This post might, at times, contain curses. Rating: 3.The following review is part of my being in the author’s review team, which ensures that you can read it before the book comes out (or, in the case of this one, not too long after). I’m probably going to wait until the full trilogy is out to continue. I know I should have expected it since 1) that’s how KF Breene rolls and 2) it’s right there in the blurb (which I didn’t read until after I finished the book, for the record), but I thought this was going to be a new fairytale for each book. I did not love that this ended on a cliffhanger. I also liked the secondary characters and found myself laughing at some of the internal dialogue between her and her inner beast. Finely was a good heroine and I enjoyed the way she challenged Nyfain.

One minute she was being adducted by The Beast and the next she was standing in the middle of a wild medieval sex-club(ish thing).Īll that aside, I enjoyed the story. The other thing that surprised me was how erotic this book was, though I suppose it shouldn’t have since it’s labeled as a “dark” fairytale. That pulled me out of the story at first, though I quickly got used to it. This is a fairytale set in a remote village without modern conveniences, so I was surprised at the modern way the female MC talked. I’m a total sucker for Beauty and the Beast retellings, and I enjoy KF Breene’s novels, so this seemed like a win/win. This is the beginning of a trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger. It is a full-length novel at 80k words and suitable for 18+. This is a dark and sexy Beauty and the Beast retelling, featuring a strong heroine, a dangerous anti-hero, and a humorous supporting cast. I can save the whole forgotten kingdom, locked away by the demon king’s power.īut it would mean taming the monster beneath his skin. Seeks to use me.Īpparently, I can save him.

Forces me back to the castle as his prisoner. When he catches me trespassing in the forbidden wood, he doesn’t punish me with death, as he’s entitled. The only one keeping this kingdom alive is Nyfain, the golden prince to a stolen throne. Stuck here by a deal between the late king and a demon who seeks our destruction. The beast.The creature that stalks the forbidden wood.The dragon prince.
