This was a unique and steamy twist on Beauty and the Beast, especially since the Beast doesn’t transform into a prince—which, let’s be real, many of us secretly prefer. Belle is sweet and innocent, but her character felt a bit too much like a doormat at times. The Beast, however, was intense and definitely brought the heat, making the story blush-worthy.

While the concept was intriguing and had its moments, I felt it lacked some depth to fully hook me. Still, if you’re into a darker, spicier retelling, this is worth a read!
