I really had no idea how the whole beast aspect of the story would be approached. I must admit I was thinking more along the lines of a “beastly personality”, but wow! Shah worked magic with her words - and brought a beast to life with no sign of a spell or magic wand.
I have to admit halfway through the book I forgot where the title came from. The books are there throughout, and the buddy reads are truly the catalyst for this relationship, however that became secondary to everything else. Maybe because books rule my world, but rather I think because the relationship became everything. Both main characters were depicted so well, and were so intriguing, the rest became purely a backdrop. (As it should)
I knew there was a cliffhanger. I was prepared for a cliffhanger. I expected a cliffhanger. Throw me a line! I can’t wait to see what happens next!
