Oh my lord, finally. After 16 hours of listen I completed it!!

After hearing it was a retelling of beauty and the beast, I thought yeh okay it'll be good. But oh no, this was great. The way the world was shaped and created around Feyre, you could feel it surround you as you got deeper and deeper into the world.
The characters were well plotted, shining their flaws as well as their good qualities making them even more so relatable.
The sex scenes in the book I believe weren't necessary but at the same time added a depth and a sense of reality in the plot, making it a challenging love between man and woman not an easy love story between a noble man and his love interest.

Also thinking back on it now, the plot of beauty and the beast tied in nicely with this adaptation. A curse - revealed later in the book, the killing of Amarantha (our gaston for the Disney lovers) right at the end BUT with a twist of immortality in the world of Prithhean.

Overall just very very good I loved it, I'm not going to try and find the second book

I'm giving it 4 stars because it's a lovely read for a light hearted teenager, although some of the erotic lines warren had were a little too much and all the s*x at the end was unnecessary. Buuut this had be laughing out loud and wanting to read more - so I like this.

(A day later)
I've decided to write out the pros and cons of each book instead and think about my rating since after mulling this book over for a day it's less appealing than after finishing it.
Some of the scenes in this were too over the too, as well as certain characters.

On this one I didn't see the link at all - whereas with others I did. Although this one was interesting, great characters (analysing them for English) can see how Doyle is really magical within the way he writes.

Approaching this I thought his writing style would be vvv hard to read, however this assumption was wrong. It flowed nicely - since I had to annotate it for English class I could draw the links between Poe and Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) and see where one stemmed from the other.

Again like Doyle his answers to the mysteries are vvv odd and I wouldn't get them even if I tried. Nice story and a nice way to conclude it.

I'm reading this as wider reading for English literature, which I'm very glad of because I wouldn't of read it otherwise.

As always Christie's writing style includes red herrings, twists, turns and clues as well as a heart at the core of it. We're introduced into clues at the beginning which points to Mr Inglethrope (husband of the victim) however we're mislead by the narrator (because poriot himself doesn't say it's not him). This is one aspect of crime - the narrator isn't trustworthy with his deductions.

Half way through the book the narrator firmly believes it's not the suspect, then BAM at the end it really is! (Plus one other). During the last chapter Poriot explains his methods which is nice, as well as highlighting his humane side for the 4 lovers which are saved by the trial

I would give this so many more stars if I was able to.

I enjoyed this vvv much, much more than The mysterious affair at styles!
The humour between Tuppence and Tommy (and the ending between them two awhh) was a great comic relief of all the events that transpired.

Oh I guessed the ending a while before it was said - I fecking knew it I'm proud!

I DIDNT SEE THAT COMING I THOUGHT IT WAS RAYMOND

Though Shepard did give us little hints to this story, e.g. Page 44 with the ten minute gap.
I liked Shepard as well! It sucks it sucks it sucks.
