If you're looking for a delicious, wicked anti-villain in a romance plot, look no further. This was pure book candy, and I ate it up.

Audiobook Narration 4 stars Book 1.4 stars Major negative for me: rehashing details over and over. The MC has some seriously crazy personality disorder going on. I love him, no I hate him, no I love that one, no I hate that one, I will never betray him, oh I need to betray him, I love my sister, I h...

This one is a unique read for me. I haven’t read anything like it. Apart from the beginning where it gave me the same feels I had with “The Wrath and the Dawn” and of course “Beauty and the Beast”, the rest of the story was quite a unique plot for me. I appreciated that it kept me guessing on what w...

Quick review for a quick read. As epic of a retelling of Beauty and the Beast as this was in places, I still feel pretty baffled (and more than a little gutted) by the transpiring of events towards the last quarter of the book and that ending. So I'm torn on my reaction. I thought the narrative capt...

I am once again the party pooper or just the one with horrid taste. This book didn’t thrill me. It didn’t start out that way. It started out fabulously, actually. I’m a sucker for Beauty and the Beast retellings and I loved the angry, revenge-filled heroine and her prickly interactions with the man...

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale. This is an excellent retelling that mashes it with the Psyche myth and Tam Lin. So very enjoyable.

A variation of the Beauty and the Beast story. I enjoyed it. I liked Nyx. She is not flattered or cowed by what is happening to her. She reads people very well. She's confused with Ignifex and why he doesn't kill her. She has to stay on her toes with him but they are a good match. At times I was not...

Handlung: Die Geschichte spielt auf Arcadia, einer Insel, die vor 900 Jahren vom grausamen König der Dämonen (ironischerweise genannt "the Gentle Lord", also "der Sanfte Herr") aus der wirklichen Welt heraus gerissen wurde. Die Menschen leben nun unter einem Himmel aus Pergament, von dem ein gemalte...

I went into this book with very high hopes. And it does have a very unique take on the Beauty and the Beast story that I immensely enjoyed. But I had my problems with the main character Nyx. Going into the book I thought that Nyx was different from all the other typical YA heroines, what with her an...
