A review by heabooknerd
Beast by Anna Hackett

3.0

We finally have Vek’s story and I enjoyed watching him find his happiness. Vek’s past is sad and tragic but his resilience and strength shine through. This is a man who doesn’t give up and is fiercely devoted to those he cares for. Mia is equally devoted and compassionate and I liked her continuous support of Vek even when things got hard. Vek was a great character that I have anxiously awaited a story for. He has such tragic beginnings that you can’t help but feel for him and want the best for him. He is ever so slightly obsessed with Mia but it mostly stems from finally being treated like a man and not a monster. I liked how their relationship developed into something mutual and real.

Every time I think we’re moving toward the end of this series, Anna Hackett gives us more human survivors and I get excited all over again. I can’t wait for Neve’s story because she’s a badass!

There wasn’t one particular thing but I waffled back and forth on my rating and eventually settled on a star lower. I just didn’t get as invested in the story as I normally do, so it was likely my own mood and nothing wrong with the book itself.

“From the first moment you saw me, all you’ve done is stand in front of me and been my shield. You’re a protector, Vek, not a monster.”
