Highly disappointed
I like the story idea, and I loved the writing. The start of the book is really good, but the twists are so much predictable for me, and the ending is rushed, leaving me unsatisfied and unable to make me connect me with the characters.

The Beast' is an enthralling mafia romance, a captivating narrative interwoven with an intricate web of suspense and an abundance of unexpected twists and turns. The author skillfully delves into the powerful dichotomy of love versus power, making a compelling case for the primacy of love in the most unconventional circumstances. Personally, I relished every page of this suspenseful journey,

A complete bollywood masala, but again if the cover could have a professional touch, it could definitely lure more readers.

Though the first plot twist was a little obvious, I absolutely did not expect the later plot twists... It was done really well ✨

This book has three characters, named Manav, Sana & Kabir. Manav is the childhood destined husband of Sana & Kabir, ummmm, lover of Sana.
I like how the story unfolds itself with the past crimes of Abhimanyu to his karma. The sudden presence of Kabir's mother to avenge everything she lost and her love for her long lost baby boy.
The character portrayal of Abhimanyu is impeccable. I mean- I hate him so much that I won't be able to describe it in some words.
