Why read it?

1 author picked Raven and the Beast as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book caught my attention because of the title and because I am a sucker for the Beauty and the Beast trope. 

This story is one that brings things to a whole new level with some dark and steamy edges that I found delightfully compelling. I thoroughly enjoy fairytales, especially those with a romantic sprinkling along some crafty spice. 

This book delivers all of that in a delectable retelling of a contemporary version of Beauty and the Beast that I know romantasy and urban fantasy fans alike will adore just as much as I do.
