“You’re in every thought, every dream, every tragedy.” 

 

“Eclipsed Realms,” by Madilyn DeRose 

 

I wasn’t entirely sure about this book before I read it. When I hear shrek retelling I was not fully in but for real this book blew me away with the romance. I’ve read another book by her and her writing is so good, so I thought why not. I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved this. The whole shrek thing was not as weird as I would’ve thought. The romance was so freaking amazing, it was intense and sweet, and it kept me glued to the book. This book has tons and tons of smut but also a lot of plot. I do feel like it was longer than it needed to be, but it still was so good. 4 out of 5 stars, can’t wait to read what Madilyn DeRose writes next because I will read anything by her now.
