This book was so much more than ‘just’ a dark Beauty and the Beast retelling!

This story is not just about a princess being held captive by a beast. Rhaim is the All-Beast and has to go on certain assignments where he defeats monsters with his Mage powers. I found these assignments -and the journey to discover more about their magic- very intriguing. The tension between Rhaim and Lisane is delicious, especially the 🌶️ (dom/sub) later on.  There is strong character development and multiple POVs (Rhaim and Lisane’s).

Oh, and there’s a pet! A weird but cute thing called Finx who immediately stole my heart 🥰.
