Everyone dreams of marrying a prince—except for me. I am nothing more than a pawn in my adoptive mother’s diabolical plot against the seven kingdoms. I was the chosen tool, her sharpened blade that would cut the deepest into the heart of the Kingdom of Baist. But like all deadly weapons, my wedding is two-edged sword that could cost me my soul.For I am Rosalie, one of the adopted daughters of Lady Eville, and it is my duty to enter into a loveless and hate-filled marriage with the narcissistic Crown Prince of Baist. My choices and heart are not my own to give. Yet even in the thick of dire situations, beastly vengeance can give way to beautiful attraction.

Irritated but I liked this!
I enjoyed this well enough. I think the plot was good, the writing was good, the characters were likeable and unlikable respectively. Those little plot twists were juicy and unexpected near the end. Things I didn't like were Rosalie caring sooo much about Baist when they didn't reciprocate and Xander saying that he was being rude to her because he fell for her so quickly to wrap it all up in a nice bow. The final battle I feel needed a little something more and I was upset that she didn't get to go off on her father for his own treachery. But even with that I liked this book. I need to see Rosalie in her power though. This needs a second part.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great twist on a classic
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2020

Beauty and the Beast must be my favorite fairytale. Goodness knows I've read dozens of interpretations. This one by Hahn rates up toward the top. In fact, now I'm interested in the others in the series. She writes about complex characters who seem stuck in their roles, full of prejudice, and unbendable. And yet they learn, they grow, they change and learn to love. Magic plays a big part of the story throughout. I loved how strong the emotions came through. My heart ached for Rosalie. I cheered whenever she stood her ground and put Prince Xander in his place. And even though we were never in Xander's point of view. Hahn did a great job giving subtle hints that let me know his true feelings, even if Rose didn't catch on. It made the push and pull, the ups and downs of conflict and tension between them even weightier. This is definitely worth your time if you like Beauty and the Beast.

I give the book a solid 5 and a PG rating. The physical attraction is handled well, and the closed door intimacy is between husband and wife.

1-5 scale and what it means:
1: I couldn’t even finish it / just plain bad
2: I hope I didn’t pay for this / disappointing
3: I didn’t hate it, but it was still missing something / forgettable but inoffensive
3.5: On the line between good and ok / like, not love
4: Solid mind candy / worth reading
4.5: So very close to perfection! / must read
5: I could not put it down and I’m still thinking about it! / a true treasure

5.0 out of 5 stars A story of revenge, betrayal, and love!
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2022

Lady Eville is set on getting revenge and so when she receives an invitation to Prince Xander's wedding she knows she finally has an opening. She selects her oldest adopted daughter Rosalie and goes to Xander's kingdom and the next day everything has changed and Rosalie finds herself married to Prince Xander. Lady Eville has finally gotten revenge but this story is so much more.

Of Beast and Beauty is the first book in the Daughters of Eville series and is an enemy to lovers story. Lady Eville has adopted seven daughters, one from each of the kingdoms. Nobody really knows how she has come to adopt these daughters but each is beautiful and powerful with magic. Rosalie is the first daughter, beautiful and fair, and the most powerful. This story is full of secrets, betrayal, revenge, hope, and love. Even though there is hate, on both Xander and Rosalie's sides, Rosalie still helps and does what needs to be done because she is true to her word. While both Xander and Rosalie are trying to find a way out of their marriage, they are also finding themselves conflicted about their feelings toward one another. This was a really good read and I can't wait to see what happens in book two with another of Rosalie's sisters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Two authors?
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2021

I am so uncertain of how to rate this book. Had I only been up to three quarters through this book it would have been 5 stars hands down. That last quarter of the book though, that really messed up the whole of the book.

Let me start of by saying that for a retelling I’m absolutely blown away by its plot and originality. I fell in love with Rosalie pretty much from the start the way the story was built with the whole world against her. Through it all though she came out strong, independent and even charmingly wicked at times. She was such a complex character that it was very easy to feel and relate to her even when she did things that were kind of messed up. The enemies to lover theme between her and Xander were spot on and fit very well in the plot, her being married off to a prince who had grown up believing anything with magic was evil. Not only that, but her replacing the original bride to be spun some real heat, hatred and drama between them and the cruelty and unfairness of his treatment towards her hit me right in the heart. Just like a really good enemies to lovers drama should.

That being said, I am so saddened by how the last quarter of the book turned out. I mean no offense to the author but it almost felt like it was written by someone else. Up to that point the writing had been beautiful, it had been deep and it had been clever. However, as soon as Xander’s heart truly thawed for Rosalie the story became such a rushed mess. It was like the author knew how to write a good story about enemies, but had no experience on how to write about lovers because it went from zero to one hundred right then and there. As soon as they admitted their feelings the characters lost all that amazing depth they previously had and Xander even became a whole different person from what was previously built up. Suddenly he had no reservations, no fear of magic and became sickeningly sweet and cheesy. It became so unrealistic due to no development or characterization leading naturally to this. It was literally one page he was the Xander we knew and the next this polar opposite carbon copy.

That’s not all though. The book had been amazingly clever on sneaking in twists and secrets up until that point that flowed naturally with the story. But after that threshold was passed revelations after revelations and twists after twists were pumped out and thrown into the story haphazardly and most not fitting well at all with what was going on. It even became kind of ridiculous some of the stuff almost to the point of me rolling my eyes, like Rosalie dying from starvation one second and then being able to run around and fight the next. The worst though, being the evil villain monologues and the villains being villains and doing villainy things “just because”. That only belong in children’s fairy tales, and while this is a retelling of Beauty and the beast the start of the story had set a completely other tone that this fairy tale aspect just felt forced and out of place.

The ending of this story left me so unsatisfied. I had so wanted Xander to take accountability and own up to the things he had said and done to her. All that mess above removed any chance of that ever happening and although I liked the reunion and the happily ever after, the book left me bereft. Hopefully the upcoming books will save this one if I decide to continue reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and Epic// Incrível e épico
Reviewed in Brazil on December 21, 2022

It was amazing.
Enemies to lovers, each character had it's own plot twist and this is the reason why it's so fluid to read.
Rose is a great female lead. Her way to think and act it's interesting and her interactions with the others ( especially the ones with her sister) are fascinating.
Xander is also a great character even though I hated him some times.
You can think that it's going to be like every Retelling but it's totally new in some form.
There's not just Belle or a Beast and a "Gaston "( The hunter) There's much more and more.
It keeps you until the end. Epic and Amazing!!

Foi uma leitura incrível.
Um Enemies to lovers onde cada personagem parece ter seu próprio plot twist te deixando ansioso para saber mais e torna a história muito fluída.
Rose é uma ótima protagonista feminina. O jeitinho dela é interessante e as interações dela com os outros são sempre fascinantes. (especialmente com as irmãs dela)
Xander também é muito bom mesmo que eu tenha odiado ele algumas vezes.
Você pode pensar que vai ser como qualquer releitura mas é algo realmente novo. Não existe apenas uma bela , uma fera e um caçador , tem muito mais. A magia transborda nesse mundo mesmo que muitos odeiem ela . E te prende até o fim. Incrível e épico!!
