There were some pacing issues, and I'm not a fan of some of the content choices made. They started to feel gratuitous. There were good parts, but I feel like the story was too short.

This is book one of a three-part series, with b1 currently free at Amazon. I really liked it overall--it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling with some naughty bits, but really pretty mild. I thought it put an interesting spin on the well-known story. Get it while it's free to see if you like!

An adult version of Beauty and the Beast retelling. I enjoyed it more than I had anticipated.

This was an interesting take on Beauty and the Beast, I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Depravity is the first book in a three part serial. This book has mature material in it.
I loved this twist on the original Beauty & The Beast. This story was not at all what I had expected when I picked it up, but that was all for the better. This story was an easy ready yet kept your attention from throughout the whole story.

To be fair, I did devour this series in the span of something like a day and a half. But what killed it for me was how the whole freaking village seemed to be out to rape the main character. A flaming case of Rape as Drama - I felt like I had been suddenly and repeatedly jerked out of what was otherwise a decent story and into a terrible fanfiction. Just, no. Rape can be an important driver of plot when addressed tactfully, but in this case it was overused, and was not used well. By the time we arrived at the point in the series where rape actually had some purpose in driving the plot (even then, I felt it was a weak plot point), I was already fed up because it had been so trivialized in the previous instances.
