A fun Beauty and the Beast retelling with some twists.  The MCs are likable and supporting characters are fun. The spice was not as frequent or as intense as I tend to like but what there was was good. I will keep reading the series. I have a feeling Rhysand will feature more heavily and I look forward to how that develops.

Loved it! Slow to start but then stayed up to 3am to finish this because I couldn't put it down. I adore Lucien and thought he and Fayre might have become a couple at first. I do have a soft spot for a Beauty and the Beast story and this was great. Can't wait to start reading the next book!

The first 50 pages was a bit boring but then I can't stop reading it. IT'S SO GOOD. The ending was great. I can't wait reading the next book as it will focus on Rhysand and Feyre more. I'm curious as to how she fall out of love with Tamlin, the reason of why she did all of this. I can't wait for her family knows what she is now.

This book was enjoyable but maybe too much hype and so I expected fantastic. Outside of my usual genre, this fantasy, world building almost retelling of beauty and the beast was interesting to a point, but the certain points it almost seemed as if we were in a hurry to get the book over with, and lacked depth. 

I’ve heard the 2nd book is better, so I am excited to start that!
