A Dark Beauty by Clarissa Kae

4.0

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite classics so when I had the chance to read A Dark Beauty I jumped! Clarissa Kae is a new to me author and I enjoyed her writing style. Her rendition of the classic story stayed true to its origins, but with some wonderful twists. I think one of my favorite things about the story was the conversations between the characters, it was fun, sarcastic, and made me smile several times.
Overall, I give this book 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. For the great character interactions, the combination of mystery/intrigue, and for making me smile. I did like the book, there were just a few things that seemed implausible, a lackluster ending (Clarissa Kae did a great job building me up... and then nothing), and some character decisions that just seemed odd to me (maybe because I would never have done it?). But I am glad I read it and hope to read more of Clarissa Kae’s books in the future.
