I wanted to like this quartet. I really did. Like many bookish girls, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite classic Disney princess tale. But to claim this is a modern retelling of any fashion is crap. The story of Carter and Aria is nothing but toxic, abusive, glorified Stockholm syndrome. As much as I wanted to like this and read it on it's entirety to really give it a fair shot, it 1000% was not my cup of tea.

I don't read very many straight romances, most leave me more annoyed than anything else.  However, I've read this authors work before and this book is probably my favorite so far.

This is a dark romance with nice world building and well written characters.  I was a bit hesitant at times about the romance but in the end I really liked both Aria and Carter and their character development.

Also, the formatting was so pretty, I love seeing pictures/art work in books.  It makes the reading experience so much better.

I do recommend reading the content warnings before picking it up though.

bearareads's review against another edition

I just couldn’t get into the story. It’s just not for me. I am not a huge fan of how possessive he is over her, especially since he hasn’t technically met her. His whole goal is to make her submit to him, yet his tactics are abusive. I don’t normally mind reading dark stories, but I would have preferred more build up, or interactions between them prior to her being kidnapped. I just can’t bring myself to finish it. It’s someone’s cup of tea, but definitely not mine.

Any content warnings I included in this blurb is purely based on what I had read so far. I do not know the extent of the rest of the book.
