The Curse of Ashwood Manor

Just finished the second installment of The Ashwood Curse series and, let me tell you, it picks right up where the first one left off.

Our main guys, Gil and Cale, pay a visit to Cale's mom, Amelie. You know the type - still treats her grown-up son like a little kid. That's part of why Cale packed his bags in the first place.

As we dive deeper into the story, Gil starts feeling that their beastly problem might not be as resolved as they thought. Uh-oh! The beast is getting restless and causing some serious night-time chaos in their village.

In a surprising twist, Gil turns to Amelie for help - gotta save Cale and maybe even squash that curse once and for all!

This fresh take on Beauty and the Beast wraps up with a happy-ever-after ending full of “touch him and die” energy and some sizzling scenes.

I kinda wished we could've heard more about Gil's dad earlier on in the book. And let me tell you, how they broke that curse was totally unexpected! But hey, it all adds up to a great read. So stoked to see Gil and Cale finally living life on their terms!

Thank you to Jordan Lee for the ARC copy and this is my honest review.
