If that makes any since.lol!! But I can sometimes put up with a good love triangle if it's done well, but I can't do a love square, that's just too much! But to be technical, Aurora really wasn't involved with all of them, but the attraction was evident with each guy. Though I did like each of the three guys Aurora was entangled with, but not all of them as a love interest. And we had this weird love square type thing going on that just did not fit well with the story at all. I guess I just expected, or wanted more from A WICKED THING then what I got. It was very slow paced, I mean VERY!! It dragged almost throughout the whole book, and didn't have any action except the last chapter or so. But I did have my issues with A WICKED THING. So I was ecstatic when I received an ARC for review. I LOVE retellings, especially ones with my favorite Disney Princess. I didn't even know what it was about before I instantly added it to my TBR pile, then when I read the synopsis I was sold. I've been DYING to read A WICKED THING since seeing that GORGEOUS cover that HaperTeen brilliantly came up with. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?ģ.5 Stars A richly entangled web of lies, deception, murder plots, schemes, and a thirst for power, A WICKED THING breaths a whole new version of the classic fairytale we've all seen and love, of the enchanted Princess Aurora, better known as THE SLEEPING BEAUTY.
