What do you get when you combine a cursed teen boy, a cursed yeti, and precious gems? An unforgettable story. This was a genderbend retelling of Beauty and the Beast, and was a lot of fun to read. "Gaston" in this case is a Hunter called Astonia, and she's just as creepy, self-centered, and predatory as Gaston was. I loved both Bellamy and Abigail, they're well-developed characters who find themselves in an impossible situation. The descriptions are vivid, and really bring you right into the heart of the story. I loved Abigail's crystal mansion, it was such a great twist on the Beast's castle. Bellamy's dedication to his mother, and later breaking the curse, was heart-warming. There are definitely moments in this that will make you giggle, and Bellamy has an unusual level of self-awareness for a teen, but being acutely aware of his curse his whole life probably contributed to that. Overall, a truly enjoyable read!… (mehr)

I couldn't wait to dive into the second part of Henry's story, and it was worth the wait! You do need to read part 1, or you'll be a bit confused when diving in. I love the way you're immediately immersed in the world, with vivid descriptions bringing everything to life. The world building is amazing, and the characters have a lot of depth. There's plenty of tension, both sexy and story wise. The plot moves along smoothly, and you'll get so wrapped up in the story you'll find it hard to set it down once you begin reading. If you like slightly twisted, steamy fairy tale retellings, then this duet is something you'll want to grab!… (mehr)

A dark, twisty, steamy fairy tale. The images included are beautiful, and really add to the story. The story is quite descriptive at times - and definitely gets steamy at times. Having read Reincarnated as the Frog Prince, (although you don't need to), I really enjoyed seeing the story from Henry's perspective. Henry faced so much discrimination for being who he is, and he didn't let it break his spirit. The story is well-written, and moves along smoothly at a good pace. If you enjoy fairy tale retellings with a twist, and don’t mind some dark moments, you’re going to enjoy this. I can’t wait to read part two!… (mehr)

First, let me say you should read the first Reincarnated as the Frog Prince book, or you might be a little lost. A lot of the character and world building occurs in that one, and without it this installment would fall a bit flat. That said, this book opens with a bang, and doesn't slow down. My heart was racing with just the opening chapter, and I didn't want to stop reading once I started. Gama still has a big heart, but there are some complications that make saving the world, and figuring out where his heart lies, difficult. I loved getting to spend more time with Gama and the others in his party, and while Gama has grown since book one, at his core he's still true to himself. Kamen did a great job with building up steam and tension, and while I won't give any spoilers, this is one twisted fairy tale you don't want to miss!… (mehr)
