As I sit here trying to piece together what I just read in this book I think to myself this book has to be the most twisted, dark messed up book I've ever read and my friends that's the truth. If you can imagine we've all pretty much seen the movie Beauty and the Beast or perhaps even read the book well let me tell you this that this book gives a whole new meaning to the word twisted on a whole other level. Zavarelli has taken a child's story and turned it into a absolute amazing book from her own twisted mind and thoughts. There are so many emotions she puts you through you'll not know what happens next till you turn the page and just look at that cover that is one sexy cover that gets your attention to fool you to enter at your own risk, because your about to be taking on a wild ride and believe me this is not your normal fairytale this is sooo much more. I freaking loved this story I couldn't put it down the whole time I was reading it. I suggest you run don't walk to grab this book it's just so worth it. I can't wait to see what she writes next.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

As an avid dark romance girly, this was f*uccd like too dark. It's literally a word that rhymes with grape.

Dark. Gritty. Twisted. Wrong on so many different levels. I'm not sure how to feel right now. I just got off the heart racing roller coaster ride that is Beast and I'm still quite dizzy. All I know for sure is that I could not stop reading. Lies, betrayal, love, hate, revenge. My emotions were all over the place. One minute I felt for Javi, the next I hated him. This book made me question my own sanity. I loved the writing style and I loved that this book sucked me in and wouldn't let go! So Dark. So twisted. Ahh!

Wow! I had so many emotions reading this book. This book was a dark read, but I LOVED it. Ashleigh wrote a book that was dark but still had all the feels. I still rooted for the HEA, but I was so conflicted about it! I just don't know how to explain it! I really was worried after all the darkness and how Javi was that I wouldn't be able to root for him or care for him like I do so many other characters. But I did. I was worried I wouldn't when I started it, but he sucked me in. Once I started this book, I had a hard time putting it down, just like all her other books. She writes words that I love to read and I can't put down until I know what happens! What a dark but great twist for a beauty and the beast story! Thank you Ashleigh for another wonderful book!

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This author is absolutely amazing. She writes one of my favorite series, the Boston Underworld series, so it kills me to give this book a 3. I just didn't buy the love between the characters, and if I can't do that, I can't love the book. I did love Javi's character, all of the bloody scenes, and his whole backstory. Many people loved this book, so please don't let my review deter you from reading it.

As far as her plot and writing goes 5/5
But it was just too brutal for me!
