My Dark BeastA Sleeping Beauty Retelling

Wicked Retellings #1 / 3
by Olivia Wildenstein
My Dark Beast: A Sleeping Beauty Retelling (Wicked Retellings #1) by Olivia Wildenstein
Unrated

"A beautifully twisted fever dream." - EVIE MARCEAU, author of White Horse Black Nights

 

SLEEPING BEAUTY x HADES & PERSEPHONE

Tarian Hadez—thirty-three, real estate mogul, mob lord, most eligible bachelor in New England, god. The god-part is an exaggeration. After all, if true deities existed, then the world would be a magical place, and it’s really not. At least, my world isn’t.

Calanthe Bloom. That’s me. Twenty-four, college graduate drowning in debt, true crime addict, florist by default, single by design. Although not living my best life, I’m enthusiastically pursuing it. Especially, in my dreams, which, since a recent flower-delivery snafu, all feature none other than lethally private Tarian.

Oh, the things he does to me when I sleep.

Wickedly surreal.

Except . . . are they?

 

Enter a world of gods and monsters where dreams are made of flesh. My Dark Beast is a paranormal romance standalone brimming with spice and intrigue.

 

** this book was previously published through Kindle Vella but was subsequently heavily edited.

 

Tropes: fated love, enemies to lovers, possessive MMC, touch her and die, grumpy / sunshine

 

Content warning: strong language, sexually explicit scenes, graphic violence, Alzheimer’s, alcohol drinking, abduction of an adult, addiction to “magical” drugs (off page), death of a loved one (off page).

Olivia Wildenstein

Olivia is the byproduct of a meet-rude in a Parisian discotheque that turned into an epic love story spanning several decades. Naturally, this shaped the way she viewed romance.

After meeting her own Prince Charming—in a Parisian discotheque of all places—she decided to put fingers to keyboard and craft love stories for a living. None of her characters have ever met in a Parisian nightclub... as of yet.
