The story is a steamy Beauty and the Beast retelling. It’s about a girl called Feyre, who can often be found hunting in the woods to ensure the survival of her family, until one day she kills a wolf belonging to the fae realm and as punishment, is forced to live in the cursed kingdom of Tamlin, who like the rest of those who live in his court, always have their faces obscured by masks. Feyre eventually warms up to Tamlin and decides to help him fight the evil curse that threatens him and his people.

I love the escapism of this novel and what some readers might deem to be a superfluous writing style, I thought was beautifully ornate. So obviously I liked it, not least of all the temperature-rising steamy bits but in comparison to the level of online hype for this book, I was disappointed. IT WAS JUST OKAY PEOPLE!
