September 7, 2022What happened that I can't get past level 60?! Has the author not finished the book?! If not, then let your reader's know!!! You just left us hanging!!! Do I have to subscribe to Galatea and pay to finish rhe book???!!! It's bad enough that you have to wait 6 hours between chapters!!! Why can't you just have us watch a 30 to 60 second ad between chapters instead???!!!

DNF
The first 7 chapters were interesting and I would have loved to continue but..
It is only available on Galatea and the wait time to read all the locked chapters is 204 HOURS!! That means the minimum time to read it for free is 8.5 days if you set an alarm for every 6 hours. Or 34 days if you click once a day. That’s insane.
I’m not shelling out big bucks to buy unlimited when similar stories are going for 1.99 to 3.99 on amazon.
If Galatea had a 30-60 second add to buy the next chapter that would be cool but as it is it feels really greedy and scammy. Just skip it and support an author that uses a less predatory platform

WHERE IS THE SECOND BOOK I PAID TOO MUCH MONEY TO READ THIS TO NOT HAVE ANY SMUT OR CLOSURE PLS HELP
August 31, 2024
Belle & Grayson
FUCK. THIS.
Only 61 chapters and it ends on a damn cliffhanger without any resolution?
Cliffhanger doesn’t even cover it. The story just ends.
And of the entire 61 chapters, 90% of them were just painful bc Belle went through so much pain, heartache and - let’s face it - domestic violence.
Here’s a rundown:
They meet on a plane.
He knows she’s his mate.
They spend days in a hotel while she’s fighting against the bond and wants to run.
She gets captured and then she’s ok with trying their relationship.
Grayson & Belle are sightseeing in Paris.
She sneaks away to see her mother.
The mother is mated to another wolf - that wolf punches Belle.
Grayson swoops in, takes her to her pack … and then we get maybe 1-3 scenes when everything’s okay.
They are close to “completing the mate bond” aka sex when Vampires cross the border.
He gets captured and mind controlled by a Vampire who wants to use him to take the Vampire Crown from the current vampire king.
And with that Grayson begins to treat Belle like she’s scum and barely good enough to fuck.
He tries to overpower her but she resists - so she gets told to sleeps in the basement, she barely eats and gets punched and slapped by Grayson.
She cries, the Gamma, Kyle, finds her sobbing, she feels excruciating pain through her mark on her neck - they find out Grayson is about to fuck another woman.
Kyle’s Mate Elijah takes her to get away.
Kyle finds out that Grayson is possessed and alerts the current Vampire King
Kyle gets bitten and then healed by a healer send by the Vampire King … and he turns into a vampire hybrid.
The Vampire King defeats the Vampire in Graysons Body, the Vampire leaves the body, the healer heals him … he also turns into a vampire hybrid.
The current Vampire king says Elijah should come back and focus on the war that is coming - the Vampire that controlled Grayson builds an army to take the crown that way.
Elijah does come back and we get the very last scene from Belle’s perspective: Elijah and her wanted to settle down in a big city (Minneapolis? Idk) but when she arrives her old apparently was not hers anymore and she notices that that city is filled with bad memories, so she decides to get on a bus and then another one and look where she lands. We as reader don’t find out where she is.
Grayson desperately wants to get to Belle and grovel forever to make it up to her but gets talked sense into him, that Belle is safe outside the war zone.
Grayson sends Elijah back to find Belle and protect her, thinking she’s still in that city they discussed.
Then there’s discussion that Grayson is the new Hybrid King of all species bc there was this prophecy and Vampire control doesn’t work anymore on him.
Saying that he’s now immortal and when mated Belle would … turn into a fairy????
Then the Vampire who wants the crown connects once more with Grayson via mindlink and Grayson can see that that Vampire has build an army of Vampires (very Twilight, Victoria coded, lol) and then turns around to look at Graysons spirit.
The Vampire tells them that they are coming now.
… that’s it.
I … I feel like this story didn’t really have an arc. Or if it did it ended right before the climax of the story.
Before the showdown. Before things get goooood.
Because as is … the majority of the story is from Belle’s perspective and she’s just nonstop put through it. Traumatised doesn’t even begin to cover it.
I hate that I am so easily impacted by text bc I spend SEVERAL chapters in literal tears bc I was so angry and pissed on behalf of Belle.
I just found out there is a second book to conclude the story … apparently it’s called “His Lost Queen” … but my god would it have been so bad to just finish the story in one part instead of cutting it off like this?
I wouldn’t be this harsh would there have been a full story … but like this there’s not much more to say other than 1★
Damn you instagram ads that you continue to lead me to these bs novels. I was lucky that at least the video text matched the linked novel in this case but it still left me disappointed.

I paid a large sum of money and I read the 61 chapters to find that it isn't the full story. I feel frustrated. I need to know what will happen next.It's not cool at all to feel hanged up in this way. What will happen? We need more chapters about the gathering of the heroes: bell and grayson....

I’m actually embarrassed I even read this. Complete waste of time. Only logging it so it counts towards my reading goal for the year.
dnf-try-again-later
June 27, 2022DNFing this Wattpad book, until the series is complete. (Self note: stopped at chapter 19/61- there’s an incomplete book 2).
This book is apparently #1 in “possessive” in Wattpad, and yup, the Alpha werewolf H was totally OTT “mine” about the h, so if you’re into crazy Hs then check this out.
The h is a virgin. I didn’t get any immature vibe about the h in the beginning, but I did later on. It’s Wattpad, the author might really be a 14yr old girl after all.
The h was calling sex “that” and had this naive thing about her which I find annoying, but then again, I find virgins in modern romance annoying so it’s prolly just me.
Still recommend it, it’s one of the better Free Wattpad stories. It felted like a 4-5 stars book.

Love this storyline, but am disappointed in not being able to read the second book. I believe Galatea is behind this. I've been waiting a year for them to put it out.

3.75⭐️ The ending was bad in imo

i wish goodreads had a way to log books secretly because i hate that i'm lowkey into this shit. tears in my eyes laughing this is the worst twilight ripoff i've ever read. and guess what i liked it! sue me! downloading a pirated epub of book 2 as we speak!
June 14, 2021
It is a good story and all. But it is frustrating how short the chapters are and how irrelevant some of it seems.
April 28, 2024
I'm reading this currently and I wonder why people pay a big amount of money to read each chapter of this stupid shitty book full of smut and kiss her kiss him bs, so it starts with belle (so she has to be beautiful like her name says) she's on a plane to Paris and she meets a handsome man that she feels awkwardly attracted to him so instead of introducing herself to him and he introduce himself to her normally, she's all clingy like a koala on a tree all the time on the plane and he literally bites her after trying to kill a man on the plane and the police never showed up and he took her just like that to the hotel where clearly no one works there because she screamed and cried all the time and no one showed up to clean the room or anything so that they notice the kidnapped women
there's nothing in it that deserves this amount of money

Zaginęłam w odmętach aplikacji do czytania opowiadań, które co ileś tam godzin udostępnia nowy rozdział. Nawet nie myślałam, że znajdę tę pozycję na Goodreads, ale jak jest to sobie ją dodam, bo jednak tej książce poświęciłam trochę czasu.
Krótko - jest sobie Bella, leci do Paryża, żeby się spotkać z matką i zostaje porwana przez Alfę Greysona. Vibe "Zmierzchu" ma się tutaj świetnie tylko, że zamiast dominujących wampirów mamy wilkołaki. Nie traktowałam tej książki poważnie tylko raczej jako ciekawostka, bo mnie bardziej interesowała sama aplikacja. Ogólnie to jestem na nie. Absurdalne sytuacje w miejscach publicznych, które w rzeczywistości nie miałyby racji bytu, Bella, która leci za facetem, bo jest przystojny, ale nic poza tym, on wiecznie warczący i to dosłownie, a gwoździem w tym wszystkim są dialogi gdzie brakuje domalowanych kupidynków, żeby sobie tak fruwały dookoła nich. Później kolejne rozdziały był obrzydliwe oraz odpychające i nic mojego zdania nie zmieni, nawet wyjaśnienie dlaczego tak się stało. Początkowo akcja szła dosyć sprawnie, a potem to siadło na mieliźnie.
Dobrze, że chociaż rozdziały były krótkie. Znacznie więcej czasu zajmowało czekanie na kolejne fragmenty.

Ihmissusi/vampyyri jne lore ei ehkä oo nii mua varten, mut ihan kiintosa juoni kuitenki

A really good story, bearing in mind the werewolf stories I avoid because they are not my favorite ones.
I found it under the name "Beautiful Belle and Alpha Grayson" in Wattpad but unfortunately, it was moved to Galatea platform as an audiobook.
I can't wait to read/hear the second book.
I will probably order it soon just to have it on paper as well.

Hated the part where she was abused by the vampire but glad the guys helped her escape. Listened to the audio book until book 1 chapter 61. Now is says more chapters coming soon.

Ok I started this book and fell in love. I was literally crying durning this book which is only the 2nd time a book has gotten my that bad. Left hanging what next…
March 11, 2025
Can’t wait for book two😱!! I love this book and love Belle and Alpha Grayson! 🐺❤️
November 13, 2024
Not going to lie - this was pretty fantastic. Read it in 2 days. Belle is on a flight to Paris and winds up meeting her mate Grayson, the Alpha of his Werewolf pack. Belle is human so this takes a minute to warm up to but she feels it too, big time. Then the vampires come and ruin everything and well I’ll be starting the second book tonight.

I'm very cranky I can't find the sequel to see how this book's story ends. This alone makes me drop my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars. Don't start something you don't intend to finish. I believe the app Galatea by Inkitt has something to do with this and maybe with putting it out there something will happen.

I wanted to like this book, I really did but it was just so... so... I don't even know, to be honest. There was no spark between the characters. Both Grayson and Belle had two different sides to them, like the author couldn't decide what kind of personalities to give them. Grayson went from "Don't touch my woman" to treating her like an object that I was annoyed on her behalf. I mean he wanted to kill the creepy guy on the plane for no reason but the rest of the time he just treated Belle like a little kid, commanding her to basically be a good little girl and sleep, to kissing and touching her whenever he pleased, and then ignoring her afterwards because his phone was more important, like the fuck?? Oh and another thing that pissed me off is how he basically has his man servant (I'm guessing his beta, Kyle, although he doesn't have any respect for his alpha so... not sure who he is supposed to be) man handle her most of the time while he looks on not bothered by it at all. So which is it? Is he supposed to be this possessive, animalistic strong alpha shifter with a "touch her and die" attitude or is she just a new pair of jeans that he couldn't give two shits about because there was a lot of mixed signals there for me. The fact that he kept talking about the whole mate thing or rather the mate process like he'd been through it before also bothered me. It was just all very sterile and without emotions, like he was just doing a power point presentation, all the while treating her like a child and manhandling her... I don't know, it really didn't sit right at all at me. He also doesn't let her talk really. Like if she starts to say something he doesn't want to hear, he cuts her off and scolds her like a child. It really isn't giving love or devotion or any positive type of emotions. He's also constantly telling her to sleep or putting her to bed, even as his wolf, he does the same thing. It's like he can't be bothered to deal with her so he just sends her to her room to sleep.
And Belle? Seriously don't even get me started on this whiny pain in the ass. I hate, absolutely HATE when authors make their FMCs whimpering simps. Reading her thoughts made me want to throw my tablet out the window. She's so lost and clueless and just goes along with everything he does instead of standing her ground one minute, to trying to escape the next and always failing and going back to being the obedient little girl she is. She had the personality of a spoon, all the while the same thoughts keep going on and on like a broken record. She flip flops on wanting to escape to being a mindless drone way too much and then there are the random thoughts about her dead dad, or her bitch of a mom thrown into the mix for... I'm guessing backstory or something but it was jarring the way it was written. She'd be literally focused on trying to find a way out of the room but then go on a tangent about it being Christmas Eve and then about her dad being dead but now she was free to live her own life, blah, blah, blah and then back to having to escape. It just came out of left field and wasn't the time for any of that but whatever.
At about 20% of the book I was already done. The whole scene where Grayson turned into a wolf because she said she wasn't his possession and then he chased her in wolf form and made her submit to him? (or rather Kyle told her to submit or she wouldn't like what would happen) Yeah, no fucken thank you. Not love, not even like. He's literally treating her like shit when she's supposed to be his mate. Sorry, I'm not buying the shit you're peddling. Also why is SHE the only one in pain when they are apart? If you are going to write this bullshit as a plot point to keep her there, the pain should at least be both ways, but nope... just her while he just walks around like he's not bothered by anything. And let's talk about that whole pain thing for a moment, so at one point she's basically unmoving on the bathroom floor, in oh so much pain and then the next she's just walking down the hallway to look for him because she suddenly decides she believes him and needs him? So what? Was the pain all in her head? She hadn't eaten in days, couldn't move from the floor or sleep because of how much pain she was in but then she's fine because she's gonna go to him? I don't understand this author... and this is still only around the 20 something % of the book.
Another thing I don't particularly like is that it's hinted that he's been with others before her. I'll never understand what the point of that is if it's a shifter mate book. Especially when the author goes out of their way to say werewolves mate for life so I mean why would he have been with others then? Just to scratch that itch? Makes finding your mate and the importance of it basically an after thought or that they just don't care if they do or not.
At 50% in it's becoming clear that the book is just a very repetitive story about a girl with Stockholm syndrome with a bit of werewolf mate flare. Belle is just so annoying at this point that I'm rolling my eyes every time she mentioned having to get away from him only to be throwing herself back into his arms. I find it all so convenient too that he's not just an alpha but very important in the werewolf world (which Paris is apparently a hot spot for), and of course he's rich too! Am I missing any other tropes in this book? I guess that's supposed to make others swoon and say he's perfect but really? No, he's far from it. He's very controlling and honestly the only reason I'm reading the rest of this book at this point (even though it keeps dragging on and on at this point) is because I want to see if she actually ever leaves him or if he kills her. It seems the deeper and deeper I get into this book, it seems like him killing her is a real possibility with how he views her as his possession and all that, and can't seem to keep his wolf from putting her in her place.
Lastly, even though I could take or leave sexy fun times, the amount of times they stop doing anything is just insane. I don't know if the author is just trying to drag all of this out and making it as painfully long as possible but for fuck sake! Even when she is ready to get to it he gets interrupted and leaves her, proving once again she's only a possession and his duty/job is more important than her (as if it wasn't already obvious from the amount of times that he's always on the phone). Anyway... vampires are apparently making their way into the book now and I think I'm done.I don't often stop reading a book but the amount of times I almost DNF this stupid book was insane and the vampire thing was honestly the last straw. The whole book was way too long as it was that it didn't need to keep adding more drama. Belle's indecisiveness was enough to drag it out that it really didn't need more.
Actually I take that back, the morning after Grayson dealt with the vampires was the last straw. He basically treats her like she's a fucken bother and his work is more important... I really have no idea what is up with this author, but it's written like a crappy teen CW show. It only gets worse from there when the whole pack basically treats her like crap and then, THEN he goes to her at night and tries to rape her. Just what the actual fuck?! There are so many fucken red flags with this book and I'm not into any of it.
The last half of the book pissed me off so much that I just didn't care anymore.. Seriously, I'm at a loss for words at how bad this book is. It's all the same shit but it gets worse, and worse and the amount of times I wanted to scream at Belle to fucken grow a set and leave him? Yeah this book was way too long and just kept going on and on. The two characters, Belle and Grayson are just so fucken weak it's pathetic. He never fights for her, ever. Like you would think there would be moments that he could take control of his body again with how "strong" their bond is but nope, not even a glimmer of it. Even when Azazel was using him to fuck some random tramp, he didn't fight back. Then the author has the audacity to say through other characters that he's super strong, the strongest creature to ever exist and basically some prophecy come to life and yet... and yet not even a few seconds later he is back to being weak and in severe, blinding pain. Uh-huh, sure, I believe this author completely with all the bullshit she's spewing.
There is literally not one ounce of this book worth reading unless you like weak characters, a painfully repetitive plot that goes nowhere fast, Stockholm syndrom, abuse, cheating, borderline rape (all done by the MMC to the FMC), etc.
The worst thing about this book is that it doesn't have an ending, nope, you get to sit through another book of this bullshit just to see what happens to them. It's fucken horrible and I have no patience for this (especially after reading reviews of the second book that goes apparently nowhere fast and is twice as long with more Belle crying and Grayson being well... Grayson).
Never again will I read a book by this author. Never. Again.
And Belle? Seriously don't even get me started on this whiny pain in the ass. I hate, absolutely HATE when authors make their FMCs whimpering simps. Reading her thoughts made me want to throw my tablet out the window. She's so lost and clueless and just goes along with everything he does instead of standing her ground one minute, to trying to escape the next and always failing and going back to being the obedient little girl she is.

He's very controlling and honestly the only reason I'm reading the rest of this book at this point (even though it keeps dragging on and on at this point) is because I want to see if she actually ever leaves him or if he kills her. It seems the deeper and deeper I get into this book, it seems like him killing her is a real possibility with how he views her as his possession and all that, and can't seem to keep his wolf from putting her in her place.
Lastly, even though I could take or leave sexy fun times, the amount of times they stop doing anything is just insane. I don't know if the author is just trying to drag all of this out and making it as painfully long as possible but for fuck sake! Even when she is ready to get to it he gets interrupted and leaves her, proving once again she's only a possession and his duty/job is more important than her (as if it wasn't already obvious from the amount of times that he's always on the phone). Anyway... vampires are apparently making their way into the book now and I think I'm done.I don't often stop reading a book but the amount of times I almost DNF this stupid book was insane and the vampire thing was honestly the last straw. The whole book was way too long as it was that it didn't need to keep adding more drama. Belle's indecisiveness was enough to drag it out that it really didn't need more.
Actually I take that back, the morning after Grayson dealt with the vampires was the last straw. He basically treats her like she's a fucken bother and his work is more important... I really have no idea what is up with this author, but it's written like a crappy teen CW show. It only gets worse from there when the whole pack basically treats her like crap and then, THEN he goes to her at night and tries to rape her. Just what the actual fuck?! There are so many fucken red flags with this book and I'm not into any of it.
The last half of the book pissed me off so much that I just didn't care anymore.. Seriously, I'm at a loss for words at how bad this book is. It's all the same shit but it gets worse, and worse and the amount of times I wanted to scream at Belle to fucken grow a set and leave him? Yeah this book was way too long and just kept going on and on. The two characters, Belle and Grayson are just so fucken weak it's pathetic. He never fights for her, ever. Like you would think there would be moments that he could take control of his body again with how "strong" their bond is but nope, not even a glimmer of it. Even when Azazel was using him to fuck some random tramp, he didn't fight back. Then the author has the audacity to say through other characters that he's super strong, the strongest creature to ever exist and basically some prophecy come to life and yet... and yet not even a few seconds later he is back to being weak and in severe, blinding pain. Uh-huh, sure, I believe this author completely with all the bullshit she's spewing.
There is literally not one ounce of this book worth reading unless you like weak characters, a painfully repetitive plot that goes nowhere fast, Stockholm syndrom, abuse, cheating, borderline rape (all done by the MMC to the FMC), etc.
The worst thing about this book is that it doesn't have an ending, nope, you get to sit through another book of this bullshit just to see what happens to them. It's fucken horrible and I have no patience for this (especially after reading reviews of the second book that goes apparently nowhere fast and is twice as long with more Belle crying and Grayson being well... Grayson).
Never again will I read a book by this author. Never. Again.

I gave this 3 stars for writing style and storyline plot holes, and character discrepancies.
Firstly, I read this book on a platform where many people are trying to become writers. You could tell that the writing style for this book was that way, but the story line interested me so I stuck with it.
Another issue was the obvious holes in the character lines. Characters are introduced to seem like they will have a large part and then disappear never to be heard of or mentioned again. For example the story starts off with Belle going to see her mother in Paris. When she finally sees her, its short lived and then she never sees her again. The whole beginning of the book the FMC wants to see her mom. Another character is the Beta. She's introduced, dissappears, and comes back a little later to cause chaos with a storyline that doesn't fit the current story line, and disappears again.

Une histoire avec énormément de potentiel je dirais mais avec une écriture assez enfantine pour ma part.
J’ai trouvé le début super étrange, je ne savais pas du tout où l’autrice voulait nous amener, j’étais étonné et complètement confuse. Les réponses arrivent évidemment petit à petit mais vraiment lentement et l’histoire est un yo-yo. Beaucoup d’aller retour dans les chapitres, ce qui ne fait pas avancer l’histoire …
Belle se réveille à Paris, dans le même lit qu’un homme très séduisant. Le problème c’est qu’elle ne souvient pas comment elle est arrivé ici et qui est cette homme … Son objectif premier : sortir de cette chambre à tout prix.
C’est une déception pour moi …

Wow, das war vielleicht ein Trash Buch.
Der Schreibstil ist furchtbar, jedes Kapitel enthält massige inhaltliche Lücken, die Szenen sind zum Fremdschämen und die nervige Protagonistin kann einfach nicht älter als 17/18 Jahre alt sein, die ihr Leben alleine nicht auf die Reihe bekommt und tatsächlich einen Mann braucht, der alles für sie tut.
Das Buch ist einfach nur Müll und trotzdem konnte ich die Duologie nicht aus der Hand legen. Es ist, als ob man einem schlimmen Unfall zusieht und einfach nicht wegschauen kann. ._.

If you need a new shifter romance this might just be it .
The first half deals with an extremely possessive alpha werewolf kidnapping a human who he claims to be his mate ! He calls her his within the first chapter and can't leave her alone . He needs to get her to understand they are meant for eachother.
Then within the 2nd half things take a turn and everything goes wrong! talk about a twist !
I had to run and start the 2nd immediately!

I started reading this because of the incessant instagram ads and it wasn’t even a fraction of what it was built up to be. This was my first werewolf book and I guess the trope just isn’t for me. I thought the writing was clumsy and character building was weak. There was also no resolution to the book, it was entirely build up to the next book.
