Regardless, it’s a delightful adventure I highly recommend. This one edges on the perfect dose of entertainment for me, though I am not sure if it is because of the wit or action included. Character Age Range:įairytale retellings are hit or miss with me – either they are perfect, or horrible – and there are no in-betweens. No Tropes or in-your-face taboos, though the castle staff routinely indulge in demon-inspired hijinx… you’ll understand when you read it. This is witty, intense and a grand slam of a retelling – I can’t wait to see what book 2 shows us, especially after THAT ending! Perspective:Ĭliffhanger. Hadriel? He spells it out, in vivid detail, while wearing a fuzzy, purple number we really shouldn’t talk about. With Nyfrain, The Beast, you come to expect that he is a jerk, but you don’t really know WHY, save for the most apparent. He tickled every funny bone I have and really showcased the danger apparent in the castle in a way that The Beast could not. I mention Hadriel (The Butler) only because he is the most stand-out of the lot, with a quirky, or self-deprecating, sense of humor and verve for a dry line. Instead of a candelabra singing laments, we’ve got a mediocre butler who is forced into shameful acts and subversion by demons who prowl and a curse that has encased the entirety of a Dragon Kingdom -yet he is far from the only one. This is Beauty and The Beast on speed – with an over-the-top adult flair that somehow is everything you didn’t know you were missing. This is the beginning of a trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger.

It is a full-length novel at 80k words and suitable for 18+. This is a dark and sexy Beauty and the Beast retelling, featuring a strong heroine, a dangerous anti-hero, and a humorous supporting cast. I can save the whole forgotten kingdom, locked away by the demon king’s power.īut it would mean taming the monster beneath his skin. Seeks to use me.Īpparently, I can save him.

Forces me back to the castle as his prisoner. When he catches me trespassing in the forbidden wood, he doesn’t punish me with death, as he’s entitled. The only one keeping this kingdom alive is Nyfain, the golden prince to a stolen throne. Stuck here by a deal between the late king and a demon who seeks our destruction. The creature that stalks the forbidden wood. What is it all about?Ī spicy new twist on an old classic – a deliciously dark Beauty and the Beast reimagining. Crude, hysterical, and oddly action-packed, it’s a shifter dream and free on Kindle Unlimited. This is the adult retelling of Beauty and The Beast you didn’t know you needed. My rating: 5 of 5 stars Fairytale Retelling, Fantasy, Slow Burn, M/FĪvailable on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited Down & Dirty
