Review: Dark and steamy Beauty and the Beast with a twist
Rating: 4 out of 5

3.5 starsI did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did!  Wasn't sure if "a gothic fairytale" was something I would get attached to.  I am so glad I read it because it was very well done.  The writing was beautiful and descriptive (sometimes to a fault) and the two main characters were great.  I think a dark retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" is a good way to describe the story, but it was better than just a retelling.  I was sucked in from the beginning and read it quickly.  My only complaint was the ending:  I felt like there was a twist in the end that really didn't fit and some questions that never got answered.  Normally that kind of complaint from me would earn a lower rating, but the rest of the story makes it worth more than 3 stars.*ARC courtesy of Entangled Publishing, provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
