Rating: 4/5
This was a beautifully written short prequel to the Haunting Fairytales series.
When we hear the story of Beauty and the Beast, we don't generally think about the Enchantress who cursed the Beast, other than as a plot device. But in this story, we meet Felicity, a girl betrothed to man she has never met. She moves into the palace and meets him, only to discover that he has strange sexual desires and just wants to control her. But then she meets the prince and starts to think that her time as the castle doesn't have to be so bad...
My only complaint about this story was that it was TOO SHORT! I really got into the story and the characters. RL Weeks did a great job of painting a beautiful picture and telling a heartbreaking story of a woman who was tossed around in an unforgiving and cruel political ocean. I have the next book on my kindle and I am quite eager to read it because I just want MORE! :-)
Ratings - (May contain spoilers)
Grammar and editing was really pretty good.
Violence - not much to speak of. A man gets tossed out a window and people die in a fire.
Profanity - Nothing extreme. The word "arse" is thrown around a bit, but other than that, there is not much.
Sexuality - There was a bit of sex in this book. The scenes were not too graphic, though. There was some M/M action, as well as a strange orgy-like scene. Definitely not for those under 18.
