A review by novelwitch
Beauty and the Blade by S.C. Grayson

5.0

This beauty and the beast retelling was everything I never knew I needed, and more. Set in a regency period, we get Bridgeton vibes. A marriage of revenge is the focus of our story.

There is magic, wielded by "Talented",and a beautifully slow burn. Nothing is as it seems and the Enemies to lovers trope is done in the best possible way. I never felt rushed and everything with the relationships felt realistic from a pacing standpoint.

S. C Grayson uses words to paint a world that I was transported to whenever I was reading. I love love loved this book and am so excited to see what happens next in the world of the Talented.
