This is quite different from anything I have read from this author, it is so DIFFERENT from anything I expected her to write. Its erotic, its very dark and edgy and has some third party sexual play moments. So its definitely not for the faint of heart and to be honest its NOT going to appeal to everyone. So make sure you read the blurb and go into the story with an open mind. The story is a take on a aladdin retelling of a sort. But this time Ali (Aladdid) is the villain, and Jafar is the hero with our lovely Jasmine as the heroine. We also have some other players like Hades and Hook so I am excited for their stories. This definitely is HOT, one of the most HOT books I have ever read....so make sure you have your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse ready and able because WHEW ....the writing works you in such delicious of ways. But to be honest I really didn't like the ending. I am all for a woman taking charge of her life but I feel like it was like lets emasculate the hero at the same time and portray him weak and I just wasn't for that element. But I did enjoy the story and am eager to see where Katee Robert's takes this series into these unique fairy tale retellings.
