I feel weird giving Katee Robert so many good reviews but everything I've read is just SO ON POINT! 

Jasmine comes alive in this book in a whole new way. I absolutely feel in love with her strong willed character. 

The ending chapters were filled with drama and surprises. The spice was extra spicy. The characters were well rounded and unique versions of characters we've come to know and love.

Sexy reimagining of Aladdin, wherein Jasmine and Jafar have a thing for one another and Aladdin is the “bad guy”. I liked the spice. I liked the story. There were several glaring spelling/grammatical errors and a rush to the wrap up at the end that made me drop the rating slightly.

Please check the author trigger warnings. There's some serious bdsm triggers and con-non-con in this so if that's not your thing skip this book, the series works as a set of stand alones

It isn’t bad if you want a book that has no plot but a lot of random dark, spicy sex scenes.

After reading the dark Olympus series, this one didn’t really live up to the same quality but I still enjoyed the book. I’m hoping now that the characters have been introduced that the story will pick up more like the dark Olympus books did. The smut was a lot sexier but use of the words “daddy” and “baby girl” made me cringe massively. Still looking forward to the rest of the series and hopefully it improves a little bit.

I love Disney inspired books, but I was unsure how I was going to feel about it mixed with adult content. I was also unsure how I would feel about the book as I was never a fan of Jafar, and he was one of our main characters. At the beginning of the book, I thought that it wasn't going to be for me as it had consent/ non consent and I wasn't okay with it in the start of the novel however as the book progressed, I was able to move passed that as I started to see it more as their roleplay. Overall, I thought the book was good, did not go as I was expecting it to go. I might be interested in trying another book from the series.
