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.

Eh. The book was short enough that I did finish it even though I considered giving up a few times. The writing isn’t great and it’s incredibly repetitive. I have no interest in continuing with the series.

Interesting twist on Beauty and the Beast. Thought it was a bit short but I got it for free so it's just enough to get you interested in the series.
