Beasts of Wrath and Madness #1
The princess in a 'prince" disguise
They don’t know I’m a girl.
They all look at me and see a boy. A prince.
Their kind purchase humans like me for their lustful desires.
And, when they storm into our kingdom to buy my sister, I intervene to protect her. I make them take me too.
The plan is to escape with my sister whenever we find a chance.
How am I to know our prison will be the most fortified place in their kingdom?
I’m supposed to stay on the sidelines. The one they have no real use for. The one they never mean to buy.
But then, the most important person in their savage land—their ruthless beast king—takes an interest in the “pretty little prince.”
How do we survive in this brutal kingdom, where everyone hates our kind and shows us no mercy?
And how does someone, with a secret like mine, become a lust slave?

I like my dark beastly stories with a bit of class, not nonstop explicit content that feels totally forced. The characters didn’t have enough depth to make me care about them either. Plus, that heavy hopeless sadistic vibe the story kept pushing? Definitely not my thing. So yeah... you can imagine my reaction.
I won’t lie, the idea behind this story actually has potential. With stronger development, it could turn into a pretty solid read.
If you’re into extreme, no-boundaries, cringe-worthy-smut and don’t expect much else, you’ll probably enjoy it more than I did. Personally, though, it just wasn’t for me.

January 2, 2025Ok, so this book will be published in February of this year. However, this story is available to read in pay by chapter format. I HATE to admit it, but I got sucked into it through the pay by chapter format and I was bored on New Year's Day so I figured, 'Why not?' I falsely thought that by it being published into a book that it would not fall into the same pits of doom that most pay by chapter books do, but boy was I wrong. $19 later and 33 "chapters" in, this book had almost made no progression, and to be honest, I wasn't that much of a fan of the things the author had chosen to take place, thus far. The older sister was raped by the "beast" which is the MMC in beast form. Grant it, he's supposed to be insane and stuck in the beast form, but talk about ick. I'm just not a fan of sword crossing or swords going in sister sheaths... In this time too, the ONLY interaction the FMC and MMC have had is him breaking out of containment to rape her in beast form too! Then he returns to his cage, where the FMC (who is ONLY referred to as he/him the entire time by the author's 3rd person telling of the story-- even though we KNOW it's a girl pretending to be a boy to keep herself safe) is now at risk of being raped by everyone because the Urakai don't care if you're female or male (so why the hell the need for the disguise then???) It just kept dragging the story out all in the hopes of getting people to sink more money into the pay by chapter platform. I cannot fathom how this will translate well AT ALL in book form. You can not have a successful story that is so far in without any interaction between the MMC and FMC. There's a reason why some author's swear by hitting "beats" in their story. It's because if you lose your reader, then you have no need to even write a story in the first place. I hope this author is successful. I truly do. I admired how unafraid they were to hit on some more nitty gritty, raw topics, that maybe some other authors wouldn't for fear of not being PC, but I cannot continue on with having already sunk that much money into it and NOTHING happening. I think this author would benefit highly from focusing more so on her MMC and FMC... even pay by chapter readers are going to want to know MORE about the two main characters and less about everything else going on around them.
That's my two cents on it.

This is probably the worst booktok made me read. It got on my TBR list because of the trigger warnings. I wanted to read something dark, something that would challenge me. This book is not it. It makes me cringe, and not for the right reasons. It is bland. The story falls flat and the characters and plot twists are cliché, at best. Take my advice and spare yourself the experience. I can't for the life of me understand how it has such a high rating here.

First of all, that cover is so... innocently looking. I wouldn't even realize how depraved and dark this book is without the warning some of you wrote in your reviews. So, for that, I thank you very much.
I went into this, prepared for the worst. I mean, I've read my worst and it involved a fucked up cult eating a fetus repeatedly, so it can't be worse than that, right?
Well, if anyone understands that reference and wants to know if it was as dark as that? Well, it was dark but not as black-hole-you-can-never-escape-from-this-hell dark. But pretty fucking dark if you're a casual reader and rarely dip into the pitch-black dark romance genre. So, be prepared for a lot of rape scenes. And I mean A LOT.
As for the book itself, if I try to relate to my experience with other media, I would say, it feels like you're marathoning the Saw movies. It left me feeling so very tired, desensitized, empty and feeling numb to humanity. Because at the end of the day, it was just sexual assaults left and right. You can't escape them and just have to endure it till it's over.
And my god, did it take its sweet time to be over!
Truly, I still don't know what to think of this book. While reading this, I kept waiting for the other shoes to drop. Like, how far will this author take us? Well, she brought us somewhere all right.
I think the author was right to write that preface about leaving behind all your RL morals and ethics there before starting this one. Because the vibe I got from this one is like
a fantastical dystopian romance, where the human is the lower race and female humans are everyone's sex toys. Hell, it even began with an assault scene and things just progressively got worse for our girls.
This series followed two sisters and their forced journey to the realm of Urekai, where they were tasked to serve a mad beast, sexually. This is where the almost beastiality aspect came in. But hey, it didn't bother me too much. Like I said, be prepared and you'll be alright. It was the casual SAs and groping that actually nauseated me.
One thing that I enjoyed was the pacing. Despite having nothing happened, the story seemed to move very fast. I seemed to swallow this book and the second book whole in just 24 hours and that's a huge surprise for me. However with that said, the characters didn't exactly get properly fleshed out. Another thing that I noticed is that the author seemed to have a hard time establishing chemistry with our main couple (and the secondary couple). And this is especially true in the second book. Their sex scenes are burning through my phones and their intensity left me hot and bothered; however, whenever they're talking outside of bed, their conversations turn janky, jarring and displaced. A good romance (hell, even smuts) book can't only have their people banging their brains out fantastically and turn clinical when they're behaving normally. That's just bad story.
Anyway, that sad event aside, since this book seemed to help boost me out of my slump, I can't help but be honest with myself. I did fucking enjoy it, despite its flaws. And hence high rating!

OMG THIS WAS GOOD! FILTHY, BRUTAL AND PRIMAL. OMEGAVERSE AND KNOTTING LOVERS, THIS WOULD BE FOR YOU!! It's not omegaverse per se, but the signs traits were similar.
This review is based on the first 2 books!
Gosh! This took me by surprise! I don't understand what's with all the 2 stars review. English is my first language, and frankly the CONTENT matters more than grammar. Those reviewers were pretty harsh, calling out on typos and slamming this as amateur work, but as a connoisseur and huge ass fan of good authors for PNR, SHIFTERS, OMEGAVERSE genres, rest assured - THIS WAS SURPRISINGLY GOOD!
The story features 2 couples - the MCs and the heroine's sister with the MMC's best friend.
EMERIEL was raised as a male her entire life to protect her identity and gender. Why the fuck is that so? Well, apparently I think it's because they live in a misogynistic world whereby the women were treated poorly and as royalty, were used as bargaining chips. When her uncle sold both sisters to the Urekai - shifting beasts - Emeriel sought only to protect her sister. Who knew things would get so complicated when she realizes that she's the perfect mate - a Syren - whose body can accomodate and mate with the beasts. In other words, she's the only one who can bring the beast back from the brink and make him whole again. She's protective, strong, loyal and loves with her heart.
Not gonna lie, the sex was brutal, painful at the same time, if you have a kink for rough, breeding and knotting...gurrrlll this will set you panties on fireee!! It was HOT. I don't care what anyone else says. I guess it's kinda...bestiality?
Since the story is on-going, know that the characters' development is a working progress and process. The world building was okay, not very intense but we get the gist of things.
DAEMONIKA (sorry if I butchered the name) - boy, did I like him better when he was stuck as a feral beast. Primal instincts beats logic hands down. When a person starts using their brain, everything just goes to shit, because of all the WHAT IF'S and I SHOULDN'T. As a beast, he was so in tune with protecting and possessing Emeriel - he just went with the natural flow. Everyone thought their Grand King suddenly developed a taste for boys LOL! Book 1 was mostly Daemon in beast form, they didn't even talk and strangely, it didn't matter. The bonding process without words captivated me, even though it was riddled in brutality. The pacing of anticipation was good.
In Book 2, Daemon's now back to his human form, and gosh, I gotta say, nothing hurts a woman more than being told that the male she's in love with is still hung up over his dead wife. Daemon woken up from centuries of feral wilderness still remembers the death of his wife and sons like it was yesterday - I liked and disliked him for it. Naturally, he can't be expected to fall in love or even want to have a relationship with ANYONE let alone his soulbond mate. Poor Emeriel. She was like an unwanted sidepiece and now everyone's out to get her.
In a nutshell, there's a lot of hot sex but emotionally? Wow. The author just drove a stake through my heart because I'm hooked. Both MMCs are now rejecting their potential mates, setting them free and I'm stuck with a cliffhanger. LE SIGH!
GOSH! I'm feeling some serious Olivia Rodrigo revenge songs for Book 3. I hope the ladies will stand up for themselves, they're worth more than some males who can't appreciate them and now that they've gotten their freedom (from slavery), I hope Emeriel and her sister will finally be able to LIVE and BE HAPPY.
OVERALL it's hot, it's angsty and it's got me hooooked! I'm counting down the days until the next book!!!

Like many others, I discovered this story through a Facebook ad hinting at an alpha beast and human girl romance, which intrigued me. Despite having mostly read only professional books over the last decade, I had been meaning to return to reading fiction for some time, so I decided to give this one a try.
At first, in the author's defense, I must say her writing skill is not as bad as many other readers have pointed out in their reviews. None of the typos or grammar mistakes bothered me, really. To be fair, when I started reading this on a pay-per-chapter application (later I found it on Kindle and finished it there), I was expecting the unpolished writing you usually see on places like Webnovels.
When I started this story, I imagined it to be some kind of darker, kinkier version of something similar to The Beauty and the Beast, but, oh boy, how wrong I was. Instead, I entered something undeniably disturbing, especially when it came to sexual content, with a lot of sexual abuse, raping, and forced sexual encounters that all made me feel like I was reading a porn movie written in words. Though the worst part of all this was - I couldn't stop. The urge to continue reading despite all that was enormous, and as the story progressed, I didn't even notice the brutality and violence as disturbing anymore, as if they fit right there in that world, casually.
I am planning to read all the other books and finish the series because overall the plot (even though many say there's no plot at all) is captivating, at least for my tastes. I already have my favorite couple (and it's not the beast and "the prince") I am rooting for, and I really hope for their happy ending. I have many theories about how their story could evolve, and I cannot wait to read if any of them were anywhere close to whatever the author has planned for them. Thank you for taking me on this unexpected journey, Kiss Leilani!

Good
WARNING: Cliffhanger! This is probably a 4/5 on my trauma scale, but only because the immediate danger is passed, it’s just not over yet!
NOTE: This is an honest review in which I do discuss some of the possibly spoiler-ish issues in the book. You have been warned. That being said, this is dark. Read the triggers. Don’t read the book if you can’t handle them.
In a dystopian society, where being a woman is a rare enough thing that they are treated as a commodity; Emeriel is a princess dressed as a prince, whereas her sister Aekeira, her elder by two years has spent her life as a woman. Emeriel tries her best to protect Aekeira, but when her sister is being constantly sold by the king for the use of his lords, it’s not always successful.
When the shape shifting beast lords, the Urekai, come into the human city, they buy Aekeria for their feral beast lord King Daemonikai. Emeriel is determined not to let her go, so she agrees to go with her sister as a bonus slave, still in her male disguise.
The two princesses are not well treated there, because this is definitely dystopian, and very dark.
Aekeira has been a victim her whole adult life, she’s no stranger to r*pe and abuse, and this book doesn’t gloss over her suffering. Her time with the Urekai doesn’t prevent her from experiencing it again, unfortunately, including at the hands of Lord Vladya, ostensibly the “good guy” amongst the Urekai.
Emeriel has been kept somewhat safe from those abuses so far, but it doesn’t last long because she does suffer from a heat which puts her in the crosshairs of the feral beast, and several encounters with a dubious notion of consent.
Normally, these are instant dislike/stop reading triggers for me, but this book is rather strangely compelling. Firstly the setting of the book explains why this happens; this is NOT our world, NOT our rules, and is perfectly normal for our unfortunate heroines.
Secondly, the underlying story is actually interesting. I find myself wanting to know a bit more about the Urekai, and why they are the way they are. And if humans tried to kill them off some time ago, then it seems understandable as to why they might hold some grudges.
Does this explain their actions, yes, and to a point even excuse them. Does this mean you have to forgive them? No.
It’s not the best written book, there are far too many grammar/spelling issues to say that, occasionally confused the reader and making me have to reread a section for full comprehension. It is, as I said before however, a compelling book. The story is interesting, the situation intriguing, and I probably cringed way more at the machinations of certain characters I hated, than I did at the horrors our heroines experienced. This in no way dismisses those experiences, it just shows how they are placed in a society where women have little to no agency, and humans as a whole have even less agency. (I admit to being more horrified by the girls’ experiences at the hands of the humans than at the claws of the Urekai, simply because one had a reason to hate and mistreat humans, the others had no reason to mistreat women).
Ultimately, this was a disturbingly engrossing read, than fans of dark fantasy and dark fantasy romance may enjoy if they can get past the horrors our heroines experienced!

I came across this through NovelBar, and like a crazy person - I spent way too much money to access a chunk of the book I could have gotten a lot cheaper through Amazon. I should have learned my lesson after the last time that happened, but I digress. So apart from kicking myself for that, I absolutely love this series. I'm trying to be patient for the next set of chapters to come out so I can just binge read to my hearts content. I very much recommend this series if you like some spicy romantasy, but I'd suggest waiting if you can. I love the characters, well...most of the characters. Some are ones that you'll love to hate. The plot was interesting, and of course the smut is plentiful and interesting. This book/series is definitely NOT for the light of heart, there are some very very dark scenes - you've been warned.

I don't think the book is represented correct. Basically have such a good reviews on the FB and such a disney cover that i though it will be fated mate think and he would feel when she is in distress and stuff like that. Yes author said is dark and have TW once you open the book but i though it will be like all different type of TW and story telling and changing by the chapter. Problem was in every chapter there is R**e basically to different woman's never to the main FMC get it she calls her self HIM but she is in heat she wanna go to him but he doesn't feel it ? really ok than he doesn't feel danger but he eat only when she feeds him real didn't get that fated mate perk there not so much story until 50% off the book where i basically shut the book and left it at that. I just feel is miss represented and the cover of the book should be something darker not walt disney princes style.
I m sorry dont do feedback when i don't finish the book or dont do bad feedback usually just when i m angry, bec there is dark book what make you cry and laugh and be scary to open it but this just feels like waste of time and disappointment

Meh
Meh... The storyline was fine. The editing was rough and the character development was fine. I finished it because I was curious how the story was going to end. Not sure if I will ever read another one of the books in the series... I wish the writing were better because it's an interesting story idea just not executed well.

CHEATING!
After finishing this book (and series), I found myself frustrated. Let’s get into the reasons behind the 1-star rating.
I checked trigger warnings in the books, Zon, AND the author website. I did not find ANY warning that these books involve cheating. BUT THEY DO!
Potential s p o i l e r s for some people.
Here are some of the examples of cheating so you can decide if you’re into this or not:
The H, Daemon:
Pokes it to a worker of the oldest profession WHILE the h is there, and this is AFTER they’ve formed their bond.
The bl00dhost is in love with him and in one of the books he touches her, she does things to him, and he tries to poke at her.
The Heroine, kissy faces with the worker of the oldest profession in another scene and is touchy time with her. While the H watches and then joins.
The H does the deed WITH HIS BL00DH0ST when he’s in beast form while the host is in both beast form and human form! This is not okay. The h is preggo at that point in the series. But apparently no one thinks it’s a big deal because he’s mentally unstable at the time.
The H’s species has mates, bondmates, (Along with Soulbond’s, extremely rare supposedly and that is what the h is to the H), AND bloodhosts. The mates and hosts are NOT the same person. BUT the males apparently feed from the females and the females experience a big O every time they’re fed from, and it also gets the males ready to go. Some do go at it and some don’t with their hosts, but the female host is always doing the big O while it’s happening. For whatever reason this isn’t an issue for the heroine or anyone apparently. Sorry, but that level of in ti ma cy is cheating in my opinion. It makes no sense for the h not to be the H’s host too.
ALSO, the H in his beast forms also gets it on with the sister of the h in the first book before he meets the h. And that’s like never mentioned again, like somehow it doesn’t even cross the h’s mind or bother her.
Basically, the whole mate and bond thing is wacko and all over the place. It’s seems like there’s a complete inbalance in the series between couples being possessive but then it’s completely wiped out by the in ti mate acts with others.
-And the h is constantly referred to as 'he' when he's still disguised as a guy. It was horrible for the A to use he instead of she. Because we all know as readers that the h is in disguise. It's STILL A SHE! So, the use of he did not help the hidden identity. It just because unorganized.
-The Zon description does NOT state that books 1-3 DO NOT HAVE HFN’s.
-The POV is 3rd and all over the place. It’s unorganized.
-The romance does not begin until BOOK TWO! The h is only with the H in beast form in book one. It was heavily focused on the additional plot, which seemed like the main plot in this series. There just wasn’t a good smooth and in depth development of the relationship between the two mains. You actually get a lot of mention of the H’s previous mate and family. The sister and her guy, V, are actually the way better couple.
-The most frustrating part? The book is labeled as a romantasy and romance. But it technically does NOT meet the literary conventions for these genre labels.
Romantasy should have the romance as the main plot, with a subplot. Romance is supposed to be the driving factor of the story, with heavy elements expected of the fantasy genre. In my opinion, the romance was in the background for the second half of the book, and it was hardly present in the first half. Unless you consider Nessa finding him attractive.
To be a romance, a book must meet the literary conventions of the genre. For romance, those include the romance as the main plot, development of a relationship, and a Happily Ever After OR if it’s a series featuring the same couple more than once, a Happily For Now. This story falls short of the main plot being romance. And the couple hasn’t seen one another in weeks when this book is finished, and that don’t seem to know where they stand with one another.
I hate how the rules of genres are being broken by either ignorance or purposely done and it’s creating a complete mess of what genres are supposed to be. How are readers supposed to be able to confidently find books and trust authors these days?
There isn’t enough revealed about the heroine and her powers. How is she so fast? Why is she so fast?
Her powers are taking way too long to develop. And by the finish of this series, I’d say her powers are still weak and what it is kind of disappointing. Like, there should have been more.
Several side characters were enjoyable though.
Because of the cheating, and there being no warning about cheating that I found when I looked, it has to receive a 1 star rating.

I read “The Princess in a ‘Prince’ Disguise,” Book 1 of the Beasts of Wrath and Madness series by Kiss Leilani and it is FLIPPING FANTASTIC 🤯! (FYI, this is an unbiased, genuine recommendation of a book I loved and there are NO spoilers! 🙌🏻)
You guyyyysss 👏🏻… I am OBSESSED 🤩 with this story! So much so, that I actually kept on reading through the second book before even writing this review 🙌🏻! I couldn’t help myself 😆! I couldn’t pause long enough to put it down 😲!!
Ok, so first 👆🏻! This is a DARK ROMANTASY so it has TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️– and make sure you read them, especially if Non Con in books is a no-no for you! THAT SAID – OMG 😱, I just couldn’t put this down. I love ❤️ it so much! I am such a SUCKER for the Secret 🤫 Girl trope, as well as a sort of BRUTAL 😩 world for humans who are slaves to a non-human race (who shift into Beasts!) The injustice of it all 😫🤬- and page-turning like CRAZY to see what happens next - had me hooked from the start 👏🏻!
So this story kicks 🦵 off with a human PRINCESS 👸 that grew up disguised as a PRINCE 🫅 because well, the human world isn’t much better than the land of the Urai 😲! Females are RARE, and instead of the human nobility cherishing them, well – they sort of lend them out to their male friends for male entertainment 🍆 🍑 ⛓️💥 😳. The parents of the two princesses 👸 saw the injustice of it all (thank goodness SOMEONE has morals!), and decided to PROTECT 🛡️ their youngest daughter by disguising her as a male… since birth 😮! Enter 👉🏻 two Grand Urai Lords looking to purchase the eldest princess as a sex 🍆🍑 ⛓️💥 slave for the Grand King 👑 (who has gone FERAL 🦖 and is in his beast form 😱!) … and the princess and ‘prince in disguise 🥸 ’ are soon whisked 🧹 away to the land of the Urai, where their bodies are not their own 😭 and … and a very FERAL 🦖 King- who kills every slave he has been given, since he is in his ginormous beast form (for the past 500 years 😳😳😳!)– suddenly is keenly interested and PROTECTIVE 🤺 of the beautiful 😍 boy prince 🫅 !
Gah this is so freaking good 👏🏻! I just can’t say enough about it! Ok, so a few more things… this is in THIRD 3️⃣ person POV, which if I’m being honest, I don’t typically enjoy nearly as much as first person POV! But I DID NOT CARE with this one! Not one bit! It actually took me a hot minute to even realize it was in third person POV 😲… which is incredibly rare for me! This also has strong 💪🏻 Omegaverse vibes… there are heats 🥵 and knotting 🪢 . But it is NOT an Omegaverse! And it’s loaded with steam 🌶️ ! Lots of steam between the first two books in the series 🥵🥵! And guess what? Book 3 is out next week, and Book 4 is out next month! Not too long of a wait 🙌🏻!
So if you LOVE ❤️ a DARK world where the injustice is so wrong 😫 but yet, you can’t stop page-turning 😅, you LOVE ❤️ a SECRET GIRL 🤫 trope (where girl is dressed as a boy 🥸), and you LOVE ❤️ a REALLY unique story that just pulls you in and makes you SCREAM 😫 for the next book… give this a shot! It's free on KU and you never know, this may be a BEAST of a hidden gem for you too!

“The Princess in a ‘Prince’ Disguise,” Book 1 of the Beasts of Wrath and Madness series by Kiss Leilani (Emoji Review by Rebecca Dixon)
December 2, 2025
Let's put it plainly: Sodomy, rape and brutal abuse dominate the entire scene. Interpersonal relationships are almost lost in terms of content.
Book #1
is about the arrival of the two human princesses Emeirel and Aekeira in Urai and their terrible, incredibly cruel fate that awaits them there as slaves, in a land where humans are deeply hated and loathed (see content summery below).
The story is quite interesting at the beginning (therefore 2 stars) and the language, despite being based on the court language, is simple and easily accessible. Unfortunately, I personally can't say that the characters captivated me and took me away.
I also struggled to create this world in my imagination. There was a lot of information, but I was somehow missing what was really necessary to immerse myself in this world. Too bad!
IMPORTANT:
One should be aware that all, let's say erotic scenes, are rape scenes including sodomy, as the beast mounts young Emeriel several times. Well, generally speaking, all males let their beast have the upper hand during sex - from that point of view, it's always sodomy...
It should be said, that the erotic language is not particularly well developed and is rather banal and 2 dimensional (well, this may be due to the fact that an animal can only be mounted).
Overall: you can read it, but it's also not a masterpiece that needs to be read.
Content summary:
Women are considered rarities and are treated and traded as breeding animals - raped, abused and treated like dirt.
Out of fear, Emeriel is raised as a boy, while her sister Aekeira has to endure all the negative aspects of their society. As Aekeira is sold as a slave to the Urai by her foster father, her 'brother' Emeriel decides out of fear for her sister to accompany her into slavery.
In Urai, the home of the overpowering creatures - a mix of werewolves and vampires..., they learn their destiny: while the 'boy' Emeirel has to do hard manual work, Aekeira is supposed to serve as a sexual offering for their king. Who is after a trauma, trapped in his beast form and lacks any humanoid appearance or sanity. Sex with girls calms his aggressiveness and stops his rampage - and the Urai don't care whether their human offerings are killed or survive the brutal mating of their king's beast.
However, the beast rejects the offered female princess Aekeira and desires instead the young prince Emeriel... Since both siblings are extremely beautiful, they attract the attention of various men, all of them just want to (forcibly) satisfy their sexual desires. The only hope - the beast mercilessly defends his prey, the 'Prince' Emeriel, while her sister finds another protector...

I have no idea how this is so highly rated. DNF at 52% (I gave more than a fair chance to improve).
There are so many issues with this book. First, if women are not born as often (because of some vague "illness" hundreds of years ago), then should they not become more valuable as a precious resource? I struggle to understand how it makes any sense to treat them as free-use sex slaves, when the human race is bound to die out without a concentrated effort to produce more women, and have them live at least well enough to have children. If the author wants women to be devalued, then there should be more of them... At the very least, if men are that much more valuable in this world, why would the king "sell" the crown Prince as well as the Princess?? Shouldn't Emeriel be worth more than a free inclusion? This basic premise just threw me off the story from the beginning.
The writing was the second issue. Quote from chapter 1: "'Not just money, there are gold coins too,' the non-scarred Urekai said. Everyone gasped, including Emeriel. Gold coins were rare and highly valuable." Like... Is gold not currency in this medieval setting? Gold being rare and more valuable is not a new concept... Also see point one on the value of rare things. There are many times that strange items or phrasing is used to try to increase the drama, but it feels so juvenile that it's jarring: The King conveniently has a gavel to smack on the throne during this scene when he sells the princess(es) to the Urekai; Also, "He had bruises, some bleeding profusely, while others were light scratches"; using "it/he" pronouns in the same sentence but referring to the same character. Typos are present, using "licking" instead of "leaking" in two separate places when referring to the FMC's vagina. There is also a general misuse of end quotations when characters continue to speak through multiple paragraphs.
Third, the apparent freedom of slaves... "Eventually, Emeriel decided to step out and explore, wandering the halls aimlessly." A new human slave can wander around, and apparently openly address the Lord's of the castle however and whenever they please, with no consequences, having the ability to choose their jobs, and a very unclear policy on purchasing slaves for personal enjoyment.
Save yourself the annoyance and avoid this one. Perhaps the plot improves over time but without some serious edits I don't think this is worth the time to ever try reading again.

This cover is so misleading. It appears to be an innocent YA book. There is a lot of SA and brutal rape in this book. This book is not for the faint of heart. If you have triggers, it is not recommended.
Major spoilers!!
3.5 stars
Emeriel (he/him)- heroine, princess dressed as male
Aekeira- Em's older sister
Daemon- Beast king
The premise is interesting.. In a land where women are scarce, our heroine has hidden her identity her entire life. Born as a female with an older sister, the mom decided to raise her as a boy to spare her the horrors of being female. Females are raped and have no power.
She and her sister are royals. Their parents died, and their uncle is King. He easily barter's the older sister to random men. He ends up selling her to the Beasts, shiftshapers that take on a beast form. Our heroine goes along with the Beasts to protect the sister.
They are slaves in this new land. Aekeira was aquired as a sex slave to satiate their previous King, Daemon. He lost his human form to save his people. He no longer has control and is in a ferel state and usually kills all the sex slaves. Aekeira is the first exception. She survived because Daemon scents Emerial on her arm while he is raping her.
The storyline gets really predictable once they are in the land of the Beasts and it moves SO SLOW!!!
Daemon meets Em, gets obsessed. Saves her a couple times. One of the high lords develops an obsession with AeKeira. Daemon finally shifts back to human form... end of book 1.

Not great but not bad either
I’d actually rate this more 3.75-4 stars. My reasoning being is although this a dark themed book with many TW’s, it was way too repetitive. The repetitiveness took away more of the plot, and the story, it was getting a little too exhausting. To the point that it didn’t bother me anymore like yup here we go again, let’s get this over with. I had to skip a lot to get to the end. There’s not much world building at all. Some descriptions of rooms but that’s about it. Plus, I didn’t like the way we portrayed Em whom is a girl hiding as a boy but their POV was him/he. I don’t understand why the author kept writing “he knew” “he is” etc… we all know she is a girl, the character knows she is a girl, she wants to live as a girl. Stop confusing me with “he/him” 🤣🤣 but that’s just me. Plus Cliffhanger!!
Anyways, I hardly call this a Romance. Like not at all. The only remote feeling of love is being forced by “a connection”. There’s more abuse and r**e than anything, there’s also human/non-human sex. The TW’s are all on the authors website. So be warned, it’s not fluffy at all. Strangely enough though, I want to keep going lol.

The TW’s are all on the authors website. So be warned, it’s not fluffy at all. Strangely enough though, I want to keep going lol.

Interesting Story
3.5 rounded up - I did not have any issues with the plot or the characters I thought they were both quite intriguing, but I did have issue with the length and the pacing. The story could have used some more editing, there was a lot of repetitive scenarios; the siblings stepping in so one doesn’t get hurt over the other (even in situations they shouldn’t), Lord Vladya saving the day, g-rape, g-rape and more g-rape, Sinai being a grade a c$&t, Emeriel’s secret almost being revelled, the beast’s “unexplainable” protection of Emeriel, all these things happen multiple time and really could have been chopped down. I still liked the story so will continue with the other books and hoping the pacing improves

I wasn't expecting to like this book. Honestly I didn't even choose to read it. This was suggested by the app I was on, and a sample excerpt was on the page, reading it was free at first, and I earned points so I shrugged. why not. *Famous lady words*
It's now several days later, I am a bit lighter in my pocket book, and now—utterly devastated that it's over. I finished it entirely too fast, and just to avoid an existential crisis must read it again.
There were several chapters that I cried non stop. This story hit me in a way I can't explain. The characters are complex, diverse, and their personalities have such depth.
I cannot recommend this book enough. It will grip you, thrill you, keep you guessing, edge you just enough, and then satiate every burning desire one might seek to find amongst the pages of such fiction.
It did in deed scratch that itch, but it did too good of a job, and now that I finished it I miss them all! I could read their stories forever.
Well done.

Seriously such a unique and interesting book but will say it is very dark at times just like it warns you at the beginning. It is a love story about the bond that two sisters share and the love that they have for their beloved’s! The journey they have to endure during their lives are tragic but has purpose. I also felt like it lagged anywhere but again has dark themes and issues. In saying all that, the book made you feel and cry and laugh. It was heartbreaking to get to the end because I just fell in love with a lot of the characters! I highly recommend this beautiful ride if you enjoy dark romance.

There’s explicit and triggering content in the book that are very descriptive, so don’t read it if you’ll get triggered. The writing is easy to follow. But the overall story might not be everyone’s ‘cup of tea’. The story is very quick and doesn’t drag on, so its a quick read to pass by the time. It doesn’t really leave you feeling changed at the end, you wont be thinking of it constantly - at least I didn’t. But I still read all the books in the series, just because lmao. Its also pretty predictable. But tbh sometimes I just need a predictable book.

This is really good...
The description doesn't lie. There are some things that can trigger the weak hearted. So much stuff that you have to be understanding of and remember that its just a part of a story. Slavery. Rape. Torture. Violence. Death. But I will say that this author is making me a fan. I wish this was one book though. I have an aversion to cliffhanger books. But this is really good so I'll forgive it for now lol

Pitch Black Dark Romantasy
Pitch Black Dark Romantasy coming in with an unrelenting raw wilde beast in rut - hot and fast. I was thoroughly entertained and kept on my toes to pivot within this very wicked world think GOT with DarkOmegaverse vibes.
The whole world is pitch black and unrelenting. Bones will break in this read but the Alphaholes hearts will yield and grovel.
I'm reading book 2 right now.

I first stumbled on the ad for the chapters on FB. The story line intrigued me and read a couple of the chapters before I found out the author was releasing them as books on Amazon. Glad I didn't have to go through all those chapters. This had the tropes I like:
- Heroine dressed as a boy/man
- Omegaverse-like themes
- Hero does not remember or oblivious who the heroine is
- Secret identities that cause drama
It does have some dark themes not just with the main characters but with the side characters as well. Dubious consent. Rape. Abuse.
I'm enjoying it so far and have pre-ordered the rest of the series since I'm invested on finding out what happens to Emeriel.

Hidden in Plain Sight
Got caught up in an excerpt of this book on a FB ad.. Normally you can’t find the title but I did. I enjoyed the plot of this book but it is not for everyone. Be sure to read the TWs and enter at your own risk. I can’t wait for the next book because I have to know how this goes!!!

I wanted to read a dark romance genre. This is my first one. But its cliche after cliche after cliche and everything is dragged out predictable. I skimmed read the pages and i still fully understand the details and where its headed... im not really sure if I can finish this book. But I bought it, so might as well skim it till the end.
If you like dark cliche stories then this is for you.

Read an excerpt of this on FB and decided to read it. The book was not what I expected AT ALL lol. It was the first dark “romance” I’ve read (bc this isn’t really romance) and yet I’m soooo intrigued and I wanna continue it 🤣. Plot is very good and I’ll def be reading the 2nd after that cliffhanger! TWs for this book are real bc some scenes were so hard to read.

I mostly enjoyed this but you could tell it had been on a site where you spend ridiculous amounts to keep reading a chapter. So many repetitive things to eek out as long as possible. If it wasn't for that I would have totally loved it. Dark and not afraid to hide it. I think when the next ones come out if she edited them altogether into ine or 2 books instead of 5 it would be amazing
