One Sentence Summary:

She’s the kind, ugly beast who travels to the evil beauty’s castle so she can rescue his memories and return him to his people.

Name That Trope:

Virgin Hero, Reverse batB, Fantasy Land

What part made you fangirl squeal:

  1. Mr Demon King has exactly 0 filter on his lusty, lusty thoughts! 
  2. Every second when dude’s the purdy beast WITHOUT being a giant ball of grumpy rage??? 
  3. Or or or that Miss Heroine is an abuse survivor who doesn’t coware in our beta-alpha’s presence? YASSS BOOK YASSS!  
  4. When Mr Hottie ripped her from her torture dream with his slashed palm & epic wrath over her potential death!?! LIKE OMG! 

Favorite Character:

BOTH!

  • Lily: A scarred, hook nosed, limp walking gal who’s the story’s hero!
  • Micah: A gorgeous powerful sorcerer raised in isolation, so he got ZERO qualms ‘bout using his words…the smexy ones and the dominate ones!

How smexy was the smex?

SO HOT IT MURDERED ME THEN BROUGHT MY ASS BACK FROM THE DEAD! My book-tease ass ain’t gonna give ya context, but “I want more words” is the hottest hero sentence, ya don’t even know! This man worships Lily in bed while Lily, treated her whole life as being repulsive, discovers her confidence through sex!  

Whose Line Is It Anyway:

Micah: If I order you to leave, what will you do?

Lily: Hit you with a stick.

“I’m the Lord of the Black Castle. My word is law. Don’t forget to think about our kisses. I’ll lick up your taste again come sunset.” - Micah

Got any bitching to do?

My OooOOOooOOONLY itty-bitty complaint is I wish we’d got more scenes from Micah’s POV. The book gives him his slice, but it feels like we spend more time in Lily’s head than his.
