About this book

For readers who enjoy urban fantasy and fairy tale inspired stories with a dark(ish) twist, such as Emily McIntyre, KF Breene, and Nikki St. Crowe

In Tartarus, Eliya leads a satisfying life as a Fury, a demon second only in power to the Princes of Darkness. When she is caught in a misunderstanding between Leviathan, the Prince of Envy and Satan, the Prince of Wrath, she is cursed to live for a hundred years as a beastly human. As restitution for a deal she has broken, she must also prove her worth to Satan by delivering him a pure soul. If she fails, she will live for an eternity as a soulless human wraith. Her prince, Athan, has assured her he will fulfill her obligations under this unjust curse. She only must survive the life on Earth and her prince will be waiting for her to return to him.

Remi, the Archangel of Hope and Redemption, is the best at what he does but feels stuck in a dull life. His frustration with his circumstances leads him to run afoul of Astraea, the God of Purity. As penance, he is sent to Earth to redeem Eliya's soul and prevent her from returning to Tartarus. If he fails, he will be cast down from Elysium to Limbo and stripped of his position as archangel or become Astraea’s consort. He soon realizes it’s an impossible task because Eliya doesn’t have a soul to redeem.

With the conclusion only days away, Remi and Eliya discover her curse is more than it seems. Can a somewhat tarnished angel save them both by succeeding at the impossible and finding a heart inside a beast worthy of redemption?

This is a dark and spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling featuring a morally gray, strong and sassy female lead, and a less than straight and narrow male lead. This is an enemies-to-lovers story suitable for 18+.

Surprising

I wasn’t expecting to like this as much as I did. The story was so good and a great spin on the Beauty and the Beast plot/storyline. And the spice was top notch, which itself is important enough. )

Wow love it

This dark twist on the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast was perfection. I got this book because Beauty and the Beast has always been my favorite story. The world Georgia built was nothing like I expected, but it was everything I didn’t know I needed. Eliya and Remi’s banter was hilarious and their growth over the course of the story was a thrill to read. The way Georgia integrated themes such as redemption and sacrifice while giving us lots of intrigue and romance (both spicy and sweet) was...

A great re-telling of Beauty and the Best! A must for fantasy lovers!

This is a fantastic re-telling of the tale Beauty and the Beast. The story centers around Eliya, a Fury Demon, who is cursed to live in the human world as a beast for 100 years and Remi, a promiscuous archangel that is tasked with redeeming Eliya's soul near the end of her curse's end. This was a perfect enemies to lovers story and I ate it up. The characters chemistry was fantastic and the spice even more so. This is a definite must read for any who love spicy fantasy! )

Only a Century

I went into this not knowing what to expect. As usual, Ms. Leigh exceeded my expectations. A rose is not always a rose. A beast is not always a beast. This book was inspired by Beauty and the Beast. It gives everything in this fairytale a new meaning. Get ready to go on a journey full of exciting thrills and steamy situations. Ms. Leigh likes to take the beginning slow and give readers all the background information on the the world you will be immersed in. It's a lot, but you will be happy...
