Blog Tour: A Bad Breed (Gaslamp Gothic #3) by Kat Ross + GIVEAWAY!

A Bad Breed by Kat Ross is an Adult Fantasy Retelling of Beauty and the Beast!

“Pricolici.

A creature out of folklore. And nightmare.

January 1889. When a Romanian village suffers a series of brutal attacks, occult investigator Anne Lawrence is dispatched to the forests of the Old Country to hunt the killer – only to vanish without a trace.

The trail leads her mentor Vivienne Cumberland deep into the Carpathians to a remote monastery. As a blizzard rages outside, trapping them all with the pricolici, Vivienne risks sharing the fate of the woman she came to find. But is the culprit truly a werewolf … or something even more dangerous?

A man bent on revenge. And a love that was never meant to be.

Imprisoned in a decaying castle, Anne finds herself ensnared in a web of dark enchantment, at the mercy of a mysterious captor with a beast inside – and a memory as old as the ancient legends.

As the weeks pass, Anne learns his real identity, and slowly uncovers a complex and deeply passionate man. But is she willing to pay the price for falling under his spell?

Note: This darkly magical reimagining of Beauty and the Beast is the third book in the Gaslamp Gothic series, but can be read as a standalone with no need to start with Book #1, The Daemoniac.“

If you love 1800s Gothic-inspired fairy tales, this is the book for you!

AND what makes this story even better is that it’s a dark BEAUTY AND THE BEAST retelling! AKA, all the things I love to read!!

When it comes to the actual retelling, you can immediately tell the similarities BUT with a darker twist. I loved the characters who are stuck in the perfect rustic, gothic world, and you just can’t help but fall for the male interest. Everything about this book just screams darkness.

I gave this one 4 out of 5 stars. If you want a page-turning, plot-twisting, soul-burning story, this is it!
