It’s an okay book. It felt short because there was only one setting, the castle. The main focus was the relationship developing between Jak and Marius. Sadly the characters were bland, and uninteresting.

The spicy scenes were kind of good. I was shocked how he describes Marius’ body. Whew

I can’t say this was a good book. The plot was painfully predictable and if you asked me to define Jack’s personality to you, I wouldn’t know how because it felt so inconsistent. 
However, this book cared about the chemistry between Marius and Jack. And boy, chemistry they had. Pretty much right from the beginning I knew they had the fire for an amazing enemies-to-lovers relationship. 
I enjoyed myself thoroughly reading this and exploring the possibilities of a gay beauty and the beast.

I am not a fan of myth retellings. That’s pretty much my only qualm with this book. This is a pretty interesting retelling of beauty and the beast, full of horror and spice. And the ending is quite the twist, too. I’m just the type of person that cringed at every familiar trope. I almost quit reading at the library. It’s a testament to the writing that I finished it. If you enjoy books inspired by beauty and the beast and horror, this is a great book. It’s just not my cup of tea. But I hope it’s true fans find it and show it all the appropriate love.

It was cute I think
I like the pace at which the story progressed and the satisfying ending ngl
Fuck Jak's mum man fr
Horrible
Would've been a cool plot twist if she was the original woman
But yeah 
Wouldn't reread but a nice one time read
