Lovely story about found family, acceptance of yourself and the constant struggles that are faced while trying to figure it all out. 

This book was spicy from practically page 10, but no complaints. 
I enjoyed the side characters and how the author manages to throw in tidbits from all different fairytales. Like Rap and her pan. 

The story is driven by the characters rather than full on plot, but you become invested in their stories to the point where it didn’t bother me. Though the plot was really easy to guess before it was revealed by the author. 

All in all, enjoyed it and will read the next books in the series.

Loved this series, it was a fun, cheesy in a good way, spicy retelling. I finished it in about 2-3 days and really had fun immersing myself into this world! Looking forward to book 2!

This book was amazing. The characters are edgy, sexy and sweet. Can't wait for the sequels! I'm very excited to find out about Rap's mysterious past as well, sometime in the future.
