With lies between them two begin to clash. Desiring a man whose efforts speak in a higher tone than his promises, isn’t too much to ask for. 33

Recommended For You

From the beginning this book starts with a bang. It immediately starts with Lisane, the princess from Drelleth, being kidnapped & brought to the All-Beast, Rhaim. This is book 1 in Cassie Alexander's Transformation Trilogy. It's a Beauty and the Beast retelling set in a fantasy land. There's intrigue, action, revenge, betrayal, HOT slow burn- all with a virgin princess and a morally grey shifter who knows magic. This book BLEW me away. I've read it twice now in preparation for book 3 to come out in a few days! Being a "Beauty and The Beast" retelling you can already guess the main elements you'd find here: the castle, the magic, the library, and of course, the Beast.

Though we have to wait a bit for things to get intimate between the two, the tension is perfection. Despite the things I’ve mentioned above, there’s an understanding that grows with each passing day between Rhaim and Lisane. Their conversations lit my heart aflame, whether they’re simply talking or having a disagreement. I love the way Rhaim and Lisane bring out that fire in each other. I love the way he grows to want her but resists. I love how strong and determined she becomes. This is a read that dark romance fans will definitely enjoy! Per quanto riguarda la parte romance c’è del potenziale, ma credo che alcuni passaggi nell'evoluzione del rapporto tra i due siano avvenuti troppo velocemente. If you cannot swallow your pride, you do not have enough hunger for a woman like her; you are not thirsty enough for her love. 46 Final note: Also, I'm not sure where the "beauty and the beast" parallel holds up outside of him transforming into a beast.

eBook Details

The last thing I could recall was being in a carriage…We’d been running away from the Deathless . . . Lisane is a sheltered princess, who's been living her whole life in the women's chambers, which are underground. - such a cruel way to live. In all instances, we’re told, the reasoning behind the visions is the same: if you’re strong enough to be trusted with powers, then you must learn to accept the hand of fate, as surely as you’d earned it as your mage-mark.

The very thing my father had been afraid of for me for my whole life-and the reason I lived in a gilded cage, only getting to leave the palace when I had throne-sworn mages by my side-had apparently happened. La storia è un retelling de La Bella e la Bestia e le vibes del classico si percepiscono dalla prima pagina, ma la scrittrice è stata molto brava a differenziare il tutto, portando ad un qualcosa di unico. She had no idea who I was, or what we were to each other. She knew nothing about my fate or future with her, or how she was destined to kill me.And so, when a group of soldiers brought a bound and drugged woman to my doorstep, to bribe me to fight in their war, and pulled the bag off of her head and I saw her there—the woman from the vision at my Ascension, and who has haunted my dreams ever since—I knew it was the beginning of my end. Some quotes from the book and what it made me think: (I'll mark as possible spoilers but out of context I personally don't think they say much.)
