Beauty & the Beast retelling… kind of?

I went into this thinking it’d be a reimagining of the classic story we all know. But this ended up being pretty different than what I expected. It was not bad but it did fall a bit flat for me. I personally couldn’t really get into it. Sadly, will it be continuing the series.

second book

first book was great but remember have to pay for other books cliff hanger

Dark and Delicious!!

I need to know more!!

It is dark, I will say that first, but it was (to me) a fantastic retelling! It was dark and twisted but there was lore behind the characters. So good! I need to get the sequels!

Mah not good enough for me to buy book two

The narrators are great the writing not so much I couldn’t really get attached to the characters and the writing just kind of kept going on and on like it could’ve been shorter. I mean you know what the plot is already because it’s a beauty and the beast romance, so why so much going round and round with the writing? It just seemed weird Anyways I will not be spending money to get booked to even though book one leaves on a cliffhanger, I just don’t wanna do it anymore.
