" Okay, I figured since I have read 50 Shades and I am writing in this erotic genre, I decided to take a recommdation of a lady at the book store and read this. WELL I thought is was absolutely terrible, awful, a disaster a really bad book. I thought it would be a wonderful new twist to a childhood fairy tale. NOT!!! I can only say I was not very pleased with the story. I skipped the last half of the book because of dialogue that I did not care about,it was filled with 3 pages of a character telling of his past live's story. This is only Book 1; I will not, NOT be buying Book 2! Thank God the store let me return it. I have never read an Anne Rice book ever before, and I don't think I will ever again. "
