The Beast by Jenika Snow
2.0
I am a huge fan of Beauty and the Beast retellings and monster romances and I really don’t ask for a lot when I pick up a book like this.
I am even more heartbroken that I didn’t like it because it had all of the elements to make it great (a mmc who is actually a beast!, size kink, breeding kink, knotting and I could go on!) but there was such a build up to the spicy scenes and 1) they were lacking and 2) there was actually only one barely detailed scene.
This was like a badly written ao3 fix fic that has a bunch of tags but doesn’t deliver on any of them. I’m sad.
