A Zavarelly is best for her complex story of revenge. She conjures a brooding, broken, dark twisted hero who always melt heart. Beast is a twisted adult version of Beauty and the Beast. I also sense Phantom of the Opera on this book. I have mix feeling towards Miss Zavarelli works. I like her works OK. I think its because so many layers of complexity of revenge and characters clashing with each other.
I found the complexity is too much for me. I like complex story but in Beast, I feel like it is glorified sexual assault. I cringe at some of the part of this book. BTW triggers are everywhere. The steamy sex scene is hot. But I do not feel it contributes to the story and characters development.
