This was such a fun and adventurous re-telling of Beauty and the Beast in space!! 
I can't deny that I am obsessed with the way Bey Deckard narrates a story. The character designs are always interesting and the world building is creative! 

So after reading a few darker books by Bey I loved to get this sweet and lighthearted side of him.

We get a wholesome Grumpshine couple and super fun side characters that just made me laugh out loud a few times!!
I read this book a few weeks ago and have 
1. still vivid pictures of scenes in my head, which is always a good sign!! 
2. fond memories of some conversations within the story! 
3. I'm still smiling while writing this and lord, let me overshare: I'm currently in a depressive episode and this book gave me most definitely some endorphins I needed really really badly!! 

So, long story short! 
This is just an adorable re-telling with a human that accidentally meets a Beast(!) of a Captain on a space-ship, sweet wooing, a bit angsty and a really satisfying HEA ! 

note: xenophilia, alien/human, "monster"/human, forced proximity, age gap (...)
While the whole story is rather lighthearted there were a few short scenes of abuse/neglect of a sidecharacter by other side characters but the MCs will do justice!!
