This was such a great beauty and the beast retelling. beauty and the beast has always been my least favorite disney story, just because others were better to me. but this story made me realize how much i actually like this story. i am upset with the inkling of a love triangle. love triangles are my least favorite trope, and having a love triangle brew between harper, rhen, and gray made me want to stop reading a few times. I would much rather have harper and gray be besties and have an intense pining love between rhen and harper than the hunt that gray and harper have feelings for each other. i can’t wait to start the second book, as soon as the my hood at the library becomes available!
