AHHHHHHHHH! this short lil novel based off of my favorite disney movie ever (aka jasmine is the queen and we should all bow down) ignited my passion for dark romance again!!
and jafar is hot as hell (live action version not the ol creepy guy from the cartoons pls) so I’d choose him too 😮💨😮💨😮💨
what I loved most about this one was that it was more of a retelling set in a modern world rather than a typical “villain gets the girl” romance!! and it weaved in so many characters like meg, hades, tink that it’s just BEGGING for a sequel!
so catch me binging this entire series in like a week 🤙🏼
this one was so succinct, spicy, and literally had all of my favorite tropes, vibes (and kinks too let’s be real 🥵🥵🥵) I cannot recommend this one enough
katee robert, you are my go to for all of my spice in the future thank yew 😘
