Story is a nice spin off of Beauty and the Beast. The FMC is a bit annoying doing things that cause huge problems throughout the book by acting before thinking so she seems a little immature. I like all the characters she meets in the castle and all the MC’s. Adding fairies in the mix was a nice spin to the story. I think the story was a good pace and kept my interest throughout the book too. The first book doesnt have a full on romance as FMC is still building relationships with all the MC’s and getting to know them so slow burn that probably moves on into book 2. The only spice in this book was MM. I am debating on whether I want to purchase book 2, I would be interested to continue the story but I really disliked the female narrators voice. She does ‘alright’ narrating the female character but her undertone sounds so dire all the time and her voice trembles purposely I think to sound more emotional but it gets irritating after while. Her reaction and tone doesn’t align with how I would assume the FMC would sound or how she would be expressing something so I have to constantly redo it in my head. The worst is when she narrates the male characters. Its terrible and especially through the few spicy scenes when the MC would say something soft or sensual she makes it sound like there in the middle of a battle and sounds so harsh and angry, it really ruins the moment. Male narrator is good wish they would’ve had FN doing only the FMC lines and MN doing all the MC’s lines. If I had time to sit down for a book to avoid the narration I would but since I only have time to listen in the car on the way to work its my only option.
