Aurelia is a beautifully flawed character with a heart of gold. I loved her character growth with this series. While she is purposefully naive in ways that I can't usually handle in most books with similar characters, I think Breene did her justice. Who doesn't stick their head in the sand when things get overwhelming? Weston's intelligence is his greatest strength. His emotional intelligence as well as his strategy was brilliant. I enjoyed that he was so willing to put Aurelia's needs first. This series was a solid read with plenty of spice thrown in. While there was opportunity in the spicy scenes that unfortunately didn't go where I thought they would, I believe that's genuinely on me and my expectations. The book itself was hilarious as all of the Queen's books are. Her side characters stole the show in this one. I loved that we got more of Hannon and Leala in this book. Overall, I gave this one a five star rating because nothing really compares to Breene's writing style. It's so wonderfully unique. 🖤👑

This is Everything! Here we are again. Back in the world of Deliciously Dark Fairytales by K.F. Breene. This is the fantastic conclusion to A Cage of Crimson. That awesome adult retelling of little red ridinghood. The one where we were tragically left hanging by our fingertips on the edge of the cliff. Thankfully, we managed to not plunge into the sea before the author graciously threw us a line and pulled us from the edge. Saving everyone from the cliffhanger scare. Whew! Now, we get to find out what happened with Aurelia and Weston. And I loved every second of it. We begin just where we left off. On the ship sailing from the Red Lupine Kingdom. It's a wild ride. Once our heroes depart from the ship, they step into the Dragon Kingdom. Where we catch up with old friends from the A Ruin of Roses series.The character interaction is so much fun! Aurelia makes many discoveries. We get to see her evolve and grow into someone very special. I truly loved her journey. The rest of the story is riddled with emotion, action, spice, humor, and something more. That special spark that this author always brings. I'm a little sad that this is the end of the story. But if it must end, at least it's a satisfying end. If we're luckily, the author will decide to return to this world and offer us more Deliciously Dark Fairytales.

This book and the one before are absolutely wonderful! Great adventure! Tears, laughter, anger, love, romance... just all together a wonderful read!

Deliciously Dark Fairytales: Red Riding Hood retelling. Another 🎖️ 🎖️ 🎖️ 🎖️ 🎖️ by K.F., who’s always an instant download for me. I got an ARC of this one and am freely and highly recommending it! (Read ACOC FIRST!) Shifters, dragons, fairy magic, amazing sidekicks, humor, fairly low angst. 🎖️Fairytale re-telling 🎖️Enemies-to-lovers 🎖️Found Family 🎖️Trauma recovery 🎖️Possessive Alpha wolf 🎖️Knotting ACoK was the perfect follow up to ACoC! I’m so in love with the conclusion to this duology and it was amazing getting to revisit my favorite characters from the DDF: Beauty and the Beast retelling. I’m still in love with Nyfain but I think Weston just hip-checked him out of the way to take the #1 Book Boyfriend spot. Aurelia’s growth is everything I was waiting for. Hadriel has some competition from Vemar! Ahhhhh he stole the show in this one for me! K.F. Breene does a beautiful job with her written word describing the true mate relationship, pack bonds, and magic. The spice is 🔥🥵 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ Just go grab ACoK!!

I’m not one for scenes and there are a few. The story however is great. The MC’s and supporting characters are colourful, fun and enjoyable.

Wonderful ending for this series! It had all the things I adore from this author’s writing. Extremely hilarious parts, sarcasm, love, “awe” moments, excitement, terror, tears, spice and more spice and of course…Hadriel and flying d*cks. LOVE Hadriel and seeing all the castle cast from the books that started it all! But seriously - Hadriel is the ONLY choice for president (in all Kingdoms!)

I’ve throughly enjoyed this entire series but the two Red Riding Hood books were my favorites. The characters are so well rounded, relatable and hilarious! I didn’t want this one to end because I wasn’t ready to part ways with the dragons or the wolves. If you like a great fantasy with a mix of mystery, drama, and romance, you can’t go wrong with this series. I might have to go back and start the dragons books again just because I love the characters so much that I’ll actually miss reading them. P.S the sex scenes are amazing in both series as well. Not for the faint of heart but delicious for the open minded kink friendly peeps ;-)

I loved this series. The story telling and characters are brought to life so easily and the world building draws you into their life so well, it’s hard to put down. The best way I can describe it is decadent. Just the right amount of everything. Character building, relationships, humor, spice, emotion, complexity -it’s all perfectly woven into this luxurious journey. I loved every minute of it.
