I got the first book of this series duet during one of the Stuff Your Kindle Days and I’ve wanted to read Bea Paige’s work for the longest time, and I was so exciting to finish the duet. This book had so many twists and turns, but the ending drove me nuts.
This book has two points of view. The first is Grim aka Kate. Grim is now the owner of the Tales fight club, she is the Queen of Tales. For the last two years, she has built her father’s club to be bigger and better since he has died. She has new rules and new soldiers and yet there is one soldier in her mind – Beast, it has been two years since she shot him and sent him away. But Grim isn’t the same person as she was two years ago, and she has more secrets than before. Will Beast be able to get back into her heart? Will he be able to go back to what they were? The second point is Beast aka Roger. Beast is not only his name but also his nature. Tales used to be his home. He was second in command the best fighter the club had ever seen. He fought and he won every time. Until one day he lost trying to protect the princess from the true monster of this fairy-tale. He was shunned and sent away. Now he is back to tell Grim the truth, not some tale full of half-truths and lies. He will do whatever it takes to win her over, because if there’s one thing he know for sure, it’s that this beast’s heart only beats for one woman. The Queen of Tales.
This book had me stressed out in a good way. The storyline had me on the edge of my seat throughout it all. The twists and turns that were coming as the book went on had me wanting to throw my kindle and making me miss physical books. The relationship that progressed between Grim and Beast was adorable, and I loved that Beast was just like if you need to shoot me again to prove your badass then please do. I loved Grim’s character development during this book and how she’s grown into this badass bitch who takes no shit and is protective of the people she loves.
I didn’t like the ending, I am assuming that King will carry on causing issues in the next series, but I would have liked this series to end all wrapped in a bow, I understand that we learned what happened to King, but I don’t think that was good enough, I wanted to know if they figured out who he is, did he cousin help? How did they trap him? I have more questions than answers at the end of the series.
I have started Bea Paige’s work from the beginning now so I cannot wait to see Grim and Beast be introduced in the correct way.
