If you are looking for a super dark erotic book this will not be the one for you. But it was still pretty good. I’m not going to lie I really did want this to be dark and all super sexy I just knew that Dimitri was going to be able to give it to me. I was let down when that wasn’t the case. When we first meet Dimitri we find how and why he became what he calls himself “The Beast” and how he ended up in his current living situation. Even though you knew deep down inside that Dimitri was all the way off his rocker it never took away from his sex appeal. There were times I wanted to tell him (through the book of course) to tie me up lol. But I was disappointed that I still really didn’t get to feel connected to him like I wanted to so I could feel his pain for his past life.Now for Columbia (love the name) I just found it so hard to really relate to her and for me that suck because her character wasn’t bad at all it was just missing something. Columbia is living in a house with her sister and father that is beyond abusive and mother that is barley there. We find out because that she is the one playing mother/father to her sister and is trying to bring her up to be strong and independent which is something that she is not. Columbia is a part of a pseudo-activist for her community and they get a plan together that they will try to do a secret ambush on someone they feel is trying to destroy the community.  And that’s when the lives of Columbia and Dimitri meet.It started off so good and I really had high hopes. It felt like once the book really got going and I was all into it the book was over.And I was left feeling like what is going on here and where is the rest of the story. I would like another book with them because once we get to see them as a couple you see that they both are dark and twisted together and I can see them getting into more twisted murder stuff together. At least that is how I see it not really sure about anybody else.I know some people didn’t like the fact that he was abusive. To be honest it didn’t really bother me because I knew why he was behaving this why. I mean people think about you have a man that is in hiding from somebody that has a contract out on him. He himself is also a known killer and has said that he is very cold blooded. So you can’t act surprised when he put hands on her. The author also put a disclaimer at the back of the book that basically said if you have this type of relationship then there is a problem and its abuse. And I’m not saying that it’s okay to beat people not by any means I’m just saying that for this book I knew why it was in there.I would still 100% recommend The Beast to someone because it really wasn’t a bad book. And if you want to read something that has a little dark erotic but not a lot then this is so the book for you.
