Same issues I had with book 1 are prevalent here. I know now not to expect any thing different. But it hurts to see such a good plot and storyline wasted by being unfinished, unfleshed out and too simplistic writing.

Do refer to my review of the first book for my opinion. I read them back to back and unfortunately too lazy to write two distinctive reviews for each one.
Although I have to say one thing. Did not expect Vladya to turn Christian Grey on us.

Blaming it on my self-diagnosed OCD where I have to finish a series once I start.

looking forward to the last 2 books

While I feel no pride in having finished this book - I feel appropriately satisfied that I have this strange fixation out of my system. The moment the author hinted at a continuing plot, I felt completely done with the story. Freed from my shackles. Did I gain anything from this story? Sure, the knowledge that people genuinely want to fuck animals.
While not my cup of tea, I do think literary pornography is the only ethical form of pornography. However, what is unethical, was biology laid out in this book. While I understand that the love interest (if you can call him that) is literally a different species - I was concerned by the sheer lack of anatomical correctness.
Yet of all this books crimes, literary crimes and actual plot crimes, the worst one was a characters internal monologue exclaiming ‘holy doly’.

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! Btw CHEF'S KISS to the book cover design.
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!!!

This story would be really good if the author took some time to do proper editing. The constant typos and obvious issues distract from some good world building and engaging plot.

Grggh: Unfortunately, the dominant aspect of this story remains the sexual and physical violence towards women.
The story is developing further and you just hope that Emeriel, her sister and basically all human women will find a way out of their misery.
Despite the reference to the courtly, aristocratic language of medieval royalty, the language of the story is simple and easy to understand.
And sorry, I can't say the story captivates and enthralls me. Unfortunately, it lacks the necessary details for me, those little descriptions that complete a picture and they are so necessary for me to create a coherent fantasy(world).
I also have to say that the constant sexual coercion/rape is becoming more and more irritating... 😔!
IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
One should be aware that all, let's say erotic scenes, are rape scenes including sodomy. All the sex scenes are violent - without any positive affection or romance.
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).
SYNOPSIS:
Emeriel's secret identity as a boy becomes increasingly difficult to maintain. By now, not only some of the other human slaves know, but also one of the Urekai high lords. On top for the generally understanding she is too pretty for a young man, which leads to more and more males wanting to force themselves on 'him' anyway, because a hole is a hole... Even more critical is the fact that contact with the beast (the king) makes her a compatible breeding female for the male urekai, who can smell her several meters away. Aekeira, on the other hand, develops ever stronger feelings for the dismissive and cold third ruler, while Emeriel actually develops a love for the royal beast.
Miraculously, the king manages to return from his beast to his human form.
And now the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm: The 3rd prince expressly forbids Emeriel to have any contact with the king.... But by chance, Emeriel is given the opportunity to go to a festival as a woman. The king sees her and devours her with sexual desire. Bla, bla etc.
End of Book 2: Consumed by grief and guilt, the king is unable to give Emeriel affection. The same goes for the 3rd Lord towards Aekeira, who no longer wants to abuse and brutalize her.
They therefore decide to send the siblings back to their homeland...
ALL IN ALL, I stand by my verdict from the first book - it's readable, but not a work that leaves a big impression on me.
It's short (approx. 230 pages), so I read it in one go with the 1st book.
All 4 books together have 904 pages - so decide for yourself.

This is a dark, fast‑paced fantasy romance that centers on disguise, danger, and a love that grows in the shadow of cruelty.
Emeriel is forced to live disguised as a prince to escape the harsh fate reserved for girls in her world, where females are manhandled, abused, and controlled by powerful men. Her parents refuse to let her suffer the same brutality that threatens her sister, but when the savage kingdom of Urekai demands her sister as a human slave for their king‑beast, Emeriel insists on going with her. This desperate act of protection becomes the catalyst for a dangerous, emotionally charged bond between Emeriel and Deamonikai. Their connection begins in violence and survival, yet quickly reveals a deeper pull neither of them is prepared for. As they navigate hidden identities, shifting loyalties, and intense emotional struggle, they balance desire, possessiveness, vulnerability, and the search for justice.
Emeriel and Deamonikai’s dynamic is tense, magnetic, and layered with the kind of softness that feels dangerous in their world. Every interaction blurs the line between instinct, trust, and longing, creating a slow‑burn bond that grows in the shadows of power, fear, and duty. Watching them confront their guarded hearts gives the story its emotional weight, especially as betrayal, regret, and painful choices push them toward truths they can no longer avoid. Their love feels destined, but the path toward peace is filled with obstacles, envy, and greed that threaten to ruin them.
Kiss Leilani’s writing suits this morally grey romance perfectly. She blends atmospheric worldbuilding with intimate character work, revealing each character’s fears, motives, and hidden softness piece by piece. The gradual unraveling of their intentions keeps you engaged and constantly rethinking what they truly want and what they’re willing to risk. The emotional turns are well‑timed and impactful, deepening Emeriel and Deamonikai’s bond while raising new questions about loyalty and survival. It’s gripping, tense, and unexpectedly tender in the moments where their walls finally crack.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It shows how love can be powerful, healing, and fierce, yet also the one weakness that exposes every fear and flaw. This was my first time reading Kiss Leilani, and she did not disappoint. I will definitely be checking out more of her work.
Highly recommend for readers who love dark fantasy romance, forbidden tension, and a love story that fights its way through fear and fate.

The Slave in a Princess Disguise by Kiss Leilani, the second book in the fantasy taboo series, absolutely delivers on all fronts; super spicy, wildly addictive, and filled with characters you can’t help but become obsessed with!
The chemistry between Emerial and King Daemonikai is fire, but what I really appreciated was that the story didn’t solely revolve around them. We got layered plotlines, intriguing dynamics, and a world and lore that just keeps getting deeper. There’s so much more unfolding in this world, and I loved every second of it.
Lord Vladya; wow!! Completely unexpected and I need more!
His storyline is so important in this book, and I wasn’t ready for how deeply it would pull me in. Without spoiling anything, I’ll just say his scenes with Akeira were electric; intense, emotional, unforgettable and HOT! Their dynamic added so much depth to the book and left me wanting more.
I loved Lord Herold and I wish we’d seen his perspective in a few scenes—he’s such a compelling character. There’s clearly so much going on beneath the surface with him, and I’m dying to get inside his head and for him to have his own moment (hopefully in the next book).
And speaking of more, I would’ve loved to see more of Lord Zaiper in this book, especially some spicy moments. He’s a character with so much potential, and I hope we get to explore more of that in the upcoming instalments… I think we definitely will…
I did miss Amie and Livia in this one, and I do hope we see them more in the next book. Alongside other random little spicy scenes and day to day lives.
And that twist at the end? Absolutely loved it! It caught me off guard in the best way and has me very intrigued for what’s to come.
Leilani’s character and story development continue to impress me. I cannot wait to dive into the last two books. Kiss Leilani is killing it with this series!

Whether this book was better or worse than the first one is debatable, but it was undeniably a wild ride from start to finish.
As for the worst parts – the excessive length and detail of the heat sex. I understand that was a very significant moment for the main couple, strengthening their bond like nothing else, but to be frank, all that felt like pure animal sex mixed with tons of porn. It simply became too much for my taste and significantly ruined the story during those chapters – and there were many. I impatiently waited to get over with that section as soon as possible and constantly asked myself why I was still reading this. However, on a positive note, I did appreciate the noticeable decrease in unwanted violent sexual encounters as everything was done more or less willingly, making it feel more like a kink than violence.
But aside from those lengthy heat sex scenes, everything else in the story captivated me, drawing me in deeper and deeper like a thrilling rollercoaster.
A major highlight for me was the king's theory regarding his best friend's situation. It was exactly one of my own theories for his character arc! And I really want to see whether that theory will come to fruition or if one of my other ideas will play out. Either way, I truly wish for his happy ending. He deserves it the most.
Oh, Kiss Leilani, you're putting me through the wringer! Even though the story constantly throws dark and disturbing twists my way, making me second-guess my decision to continue this series, I have to admit – I'm completely enthralled!

The Slave in a Princess Disguise was honestly a tiny better than the first book for me
this one just felt more put together and easier to follow. the pacing made more sense and i wasn’t getting lost or confused as much so i could actually stay locked into the story instead of trying to figure out what was happening every other chapter
i liked Emeriel a lot more in this one too. everything feels heavier for her here especially as things start closing in and it becomes harder to keep her identity hidden. you can really feel the pressure she’s under and it makes her decisions feel more emotional and high stakes
the romance also worked better this time. Daemonikai and Emeriel actually had more buildup and tension that felt intentional instead of random moments here and there. it still has that dark messy vibe but it felt more consistent and easier to get invested in
the ending was definitely the strongest part. people finally find out about Emeriel’s real identity which completely changes everything going forward. and Daemonikai setting Emeriel and her sister Aekeria free was honestly a really satisfying moment. it felt like everything finally shifted and the story is about to go in a completely different direction now
overall still dark and intense but way more engaging than the first book. i actually cared more this time and didn’t feel like i had to force myself through parts of it. i’ll probably keep reading just to see what happens next with Emeriel Daemonikai and Aekeria

Enthralling
I am absolutely enjoying the rollercoaster ride that is this story! I first came across this story when I happened to click on it on a webnovel app. I devoured all of the free chapters until I could go no further, as the app required me to pay an arm and a leg for the story’s continuation. But then, I happened to stumble across the blurb of the first book on Amazon and immediately realized I had to purchase and continue reading. I flew through that first book, loving all of its dark themes, and immediately bought this second book. The tension and steamy scenes between not only Emerial and Daemonikai, but Aekira and Vladya are smoking hot 🔥🔥🔥. Kiss Leilani has woven a tale of lust, love, desire, danger, and intrigue among the backdrop of a world where human women have been subjugated in the brutal aftermath of a war that killed many of the Urekai people. Though I will immediately be going to purchase the third book in the series (not finishing this story is not an option), I did have some issues while reading it. I desperately wanted to give this book 5 stars, and I actually do give it 5 stars for the storyline, action, and dialogue; however, I am a professional proofreader and editor and there were some major typos and omissions of certain words that just irked my soul and would at times take me out of the immersive reading experience. Despite that, I can’t wait to see what happens next. Off to but book #3.
I am absolutely enjoying the rollercoaster ride that is this story! I first came across this story when I happened to click on it on a webnovel app. I devoured all of the free chapters until I could go no further, as the app required me to pay an arm and a leg for the story’s continuation. But then, I happened to stumble across the blurb of the first book on Amazon and immediately realized I had to purchase and continue reading. I flew through that first book, loving all of its dark themes, and immediately bought this second book. The tension and steamy scenes between not only Emerial and Daemonikai, but Aekira and Vladya are smoking hot 🔥🔥🔥. Kiss Leilani has woven a tale of lust, love, desire, danger, and intrigue among the backdrop of a world where human women have been subjugated in the brutal aftermath of a war that killed many of the Urekai people.

I am not a "omegaverse" reader. This was my first toe dip, and it just confirmed that anything to do with that kind of genre is not for me. If you like that kind of thing, maybe this series is for you... but overall I found it to have: typos, cringe dialogue and was predictable and pacing was off. Just, not written well overall IMO - or whatever the heck "web novel style," that the author stated was their writing style, is just not for me. Words used during spicy scenes just really turned me off - examples being: phallus, core/aching core, manhood, swollen gland, slippery/engorged nub, her womb, presenting, mounting, hungry channel, nether lips, st@b... I just... No. Absolutely not for me.

5/5 MUST READ!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recently finished reading The Princess in a Prince Disguise series by Kiss Leilani, and overall it was definitely a rollercoaster. Books 1 and 2 completely had me hooked from the start. There was always something happening, the storyline was exciting, and it kept me wanting to keep reading! I literally stayed up till 3 AM reading and had to work at 8 AM lol 🫣 The twists, drama, and character interactions made those first two books really hard to put down.
However, around book 3 I started struggling to stay interested. It felt like there was so much happening at once that the story started to feel repetitive, and I found myself waiting for things to finally get to a clear point. By the time I got to book 4, I slowly started losing interest and unfortunately couldn’t finish it ☹️ I think the series may have become too stretched out, with multiple storylines happening at the same time, which made it harder to stay connected for me 😣
Even though I didn’t finish the last book, I still truly enjoyed the beginning of the series and I’m glad I gave it a chance. Books 1 and 2 alone made the journey worth it because they had me invested and excited to see what happened next. I hope the series ended well for the characters because I definitely cared about them by the time I stopped reading! ⭐️

The Slave in A Princess Disguise is the second book in the four book Beasts of Wrath and Madness series.
The book picks up where the last book left off. King Daemon is awake and no surprise there, he doesn't have any memory of when he was feral! I'm okay with this, a little disappointed, but how do you stretch out the series?
Emeriel is confused, sad and doesn't know what to do. After having a conversation with Vladya, she is told that Daemon isn't ready for another bond mate and it's best if her and Daemon don't hook up anymore. REALLY?! That is the driving plot for the book.
As frustrating as it seems, the read was good and entertaining. I enjoyed reading Daemon confused to who Emeriel the boy is. He is attracted to him but doesn't know why. Better yet! At moments Emeriel dresses as a girl. It is no surprise when King Daemon runs into Emeriel the girl.
Vladya and Aekeira still interact with each other. Vladya is still attracted to Aekeira and does everything he can to be still be a jerk. Princess Aekeira is still attracted to King Vladya and still forgives him for everything.
The book is mostly smut, a good portion is about Emeriel in her heat. Finally, Emeriel gets some good action and is no longer getting raped!
Overall, the book kind of reminds me of Kiss the Basilisk but shorter.

How are there four books in this series?
A horrible AI TikTok video lead me to the first books and now I’m in too deep.
This second installment was fun I cannot lie, fun enough that I read over 300 pages in a day. Lots of craziness, some diversity in the writing from book one, but sentences and descriptions were reused so much in this book itself that it all blended together. The characters used the same phrases to a fault, the scenes mirrored each other so much any character could be dropped in them, and even the plots between both main couples went from variety to same conflict and solution.
Ending? Bonkers. Like, cartoon villains in a meeting to destroy the moon bonkers. The villains and even dialogue feel so YA and then the R rated scenes from gore alone are whiplash.
That all being said, for what this is, the series is at a solid 3 star along with this book.
I do have to see this through, so tomorrow we read the third book, but I don’t know how much grace I have left for this crazy world.

Book Review: The Slave in a Princess Disguise (Book 2 of The Beast of Wrath and Madness)
This book is an absolute page-turner. I couldn’t put it down! The emotional depth in the story, especially the pain and strength of the two sisters, really broke me. While both of their love stories are beginning to bloom, true freedom still feels just out of reach. The tension continues to build as secrets threaten their safety, making every chapter feel more intense than the last.
The author has such an incredible imagination. She has a rare gift of prolonging a story without ever making it feel slow or dragging. Every chapter is packed with meaning, development, and suspense. Just like her other series, this one is beautifully written and completely addictive. I’m already looking forward to Book 3!

Ugh… we have to start over. Daemon doesn’t remember anything from being feral. Sigh… and the author has not learned. She continues to go back-and-forth with the pronouns for Emeriel. I understand when someone is addressing Emeriel. But where the author messes up is with the internal monologue. That is where there is no consistency of he/she. The authors use of “huh?” often is annoying. We are having a Superman moment here. The king doesn’t seem to recognize her when her hair is in a ponytail. Amazing. Clark/Superman - glasses on/glasses off. Emeriel/Galilea - pony tail up/hair down. The book tends to lean towards a Catholic Nun trying her hand at smut. The storyline is really good, but the writing is poor.

The Slave in a Princess Disguise picks up seamlessly where the first book left off, and once again I was hooked from beginning to end. The story is steamy, addictive, and brimming with unforgettable characters I couldn’t get enough of.
This world continues to expand with layered plotlines, intriguing dynamics, and twists I never saw coming. It’s a wild, exhilarating ride that builds to a cliffhanger ending, leaving me desperate for more.
I’d wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who loves dark romance—it’s captivating, daring, and impossible to put down.

This one was a little bit rougher than the first - there were sudden POV changes that felt confusing and definitely some typos and missed words here and there. But I am thoroughly enjoying this story, I read this installment in less than 12 hours. It's been a while since I found a series that I can not put down. I'm very interested to see where it goes next. I thought the political scheming would be over, but I stand corrected! I'm happy that the series has a storyline that is not only the romance.

Pretty good
I saw an ad for this book on Facebook and had to track it down! Finally found on Amazon and so glad I did! It's definitely different from other shifter romance. Couldn't put it down and read it in one day. I find myself waiting patiently for the next book lol. With the oversaturated romance category you should at least give this one a read. You won't be disappointed.

Dark Fantasy that will tangle you in its web
Normally I’d don’t read smutty stories or even fantasy is out my usual wheelhouse. I’m hooked! Unlike a number of smutty romance novels elsewhere this one has a real story! The characters are deep and well thought out. The story complex with multiple levels that drag you in wanting to know what’s next.
Starting on the third book and loving it!

So...
"...his touch would be excruciating for her. He settled for touching her..."
This book has too many contradictions and repetitions. There was very little romance and relationships based on deceit & sex. It wouldn't have been so bad if the scenes made sense.
The women are reduced to battering rams for repressed sex kinks or warm blood bags. Wish there was more of their character.

good plot but there were issues
Not quite sure about the anatomy in this one… also the purpose of a mating knot for mating reasons seemed to be lost here because… well Google is free. VD is a very unfortunate nickname and I had a hard time keeping a straight face. The 800 year old man acting like a child and still sleeping with his mama was also sending me… but the plot was good.
