Résumé

Je me suis enfuie à New York pour prendre un nouveau départ… et j’ai été capturée par un monstre à la place. 

Un instant, je planifie mon mariage dans ma petite ville, et le suivant, je surprends ma petite sœur avec mon fiancé. Trahie par tous ceux que j’aimais, je prends la fuite pour New York. 

Je commence enfin à m’en sortir quand on me poignarde dans une ruelle sombre. Je me vide de sang sur le béton sale, sans que personne ne vienne à mon secours. 

Jusqu’à ce qu’une gargouille millénaire brise le cou de mon agresseur comme une brindille — et décide que je lui appartiens. 

En une nuit, je passe d’une vie de galère dans mon minuscule studio à un bain de luxe offert par une créature qui jure de combler tous mes désirs. 

Je sais que je devrais être terrifiée par cette bête féroce. Mais je suis accro à son dévouement sombre et possessif, et chaque minute passée à ses côtés me fait en vouloir davantage. 

Chacun de ses mots, chacun de ses gestes m’entraîne plus profondément dans son univers. Et maintenant ? Je vais m’abandonner entièrement à lui.

Livre broché de romance avec monstre sombre - Réécriture du conte de la Belle et la Bête avec une gargouille métamorphe

Vous cherchez un livre broché de romance avec un monstre sombre à prix réduit ? Il s'agit d'un exemplaire avec de légers défauts de *My Vicious Beast* de Melissa Cummins — une romance paranormale épicée mettant en scène une gargouille héroïque et ténébreuse, une réécriture du conte de la Belle et la Bête, des âmes sœurs, une bête milliardaire et une héroïne aux courbes généreuses. Le livre peut présenter des imperfections esthétiques mineures (petits chocs, rayures, plis sur le dos ou léger décalage graphique), mais il est par ailleurs en très bon état. Parfait pour les lectrices qui aiment les romances avec des gargouilles métamorphes, le coup de foudre et les réécritures de contes de fées.

Je la soulève sans effort, ses jambes s'enroulant autour de ma taille tandis que je la porte dans le salon. Je la dépose délicatement sur le canapé près de la cheminée, puis je m'agenouille entre ses cuisses.

Même à genoux, je suis plus grand qu'elle, et une satisfaction prédatrice envahit ma poitrine quand elle lève les yeux vers moi.

Ses yeux sont écarquillés, sa peau empourprée depuis ses joues jusqu'au col de ma chemise, et je n'ai jamais rien vu d'aussi beau de toute ma vie. Les meilleurs sculpteurs et artisans du monde ne pourraient jamais capturer la splendeur avec laquelle elle est là, essoufflée, impudique, ayant besoin de moi — une bête indigne de la déesse qui se trouve face à lui.

« Sol », murmure-t-elle en tendant la main vers moi.

J'attrape sa main et j'embrasse sa paume. « Laisse-moi te regarder », murmuré-je contre sa peau. « Laisse-moi t'adorer. »

Si vous aimez ces tropes de romance avec monstre sombre, alors vous allez adorer My Vicious Beast :

Chapitre un : regard à l’intérieur

Créature

Nous avons été formés par le souffle d’un dieu.

Notre créateur ne nous a donné qu’un seul ordre : protéger l’humanité. De minuscules êtres faibles et innocents, facilement possédés par des démons qui se nourrissaient de chaos et de mort.

Nous avons été dotés d’une puissance redoutable, avec une peau de pierre, des ailes déployées sept fois plus grandes que nos corps et des griffes capables d’empaler et de déchirer la chair comme si elle n’était qu’une simple feuille.

Nos sens étaient dix fois plus aiguisés que ceux des humains, notre vitesse supérieure à celle de tout prédateur, notre mission absolue.

Nous étions la justice divine.

La brutalité au nom du bien.

Nous étions fous.

Au fil des combats, les lignes ont commencé à se brouiller. J’ai vu des démons faire preuve de pitié, d’affection, d’amour. Tandis que des humains commettaient des atrocités si cruelles qu’un seigneur des enfers ne pouvait même pas les concevoir.

Le monde n’était pas aussi noir ou blanc que je ne m’en avais été enseigné. C’était un spectre infini de gris. Et nous n’étions plus dignes de le juger.

Nous étions perdus, sans pensée ni structure. Et lorsque notre créateur nous a abandonnés, nous avons commencé à nous fracturer. Certains d’entre nous ont été tentés par les créatures mêmes que nous étions censés détruire. Certains ont eu des amours avec des humains, d’autres ont disparu. 

Mais moi ? Je suis devenu tout autre chose.

Douteux.

Questionneur.

Damné.

Non par un pouvoir divin ni par une malédiction démoniaque, mais par mon propre esprit. Chaque vie que je prenais au nom de mon créateur pesait plus lourd que la pierre qui formait ma chair. 

Combien d’âmes avais-je condamnées qui auraient pu être sauvées ? Combien de démons avais-je massacrés qui auraient pu trouver la rédemption ?

Je me souviens du visage d’une jeune femme possédée par un démon mineur. Ses yeux vacillaient entre la terreur et la méchanceté à mesure que je m’approchais, d’une manière différente de l’arrogance habituelle d’un démon. Et malgré ce moment où son humanité a transpercé, j’ai tout de même choisi de lui ôter la vie. L’emprise du démon était faible — peut-être aurait-elle pu s’en libérer, peut-être aurait-elle pu vivre, peut-être avait-elle une raison.

Mais j’avais été créé pour juger, pour exécuter. Pas pour remettre en question ma souveraineté ou mes responsabilités.

Et maintenant, je n’étais plus que la cible de blâme.

Mon incertitude me rongeait, obscurcissant mon âme. Car, bien que j’aie vécu pendant des millénaires — vu des continents sombrer dans l’océan et des empires naître et s’effondrer —, je ne comprenais pas comment interpréter le monde qui s’étendait autour de moi, ni comment saisir la frontière entre le bien et le mal.

Le poids de tout cela est devenu insupportable, et j’ai replié mes ailes contre mon dos avant de sombrer dans un profond sommeil. Mon corps s’est changé en pierre, mais j’étais toujours là. Vivant. Observant. Apprenant.

Des humains, convaincus que je n’étais qu’une statue, m’ont pris. J’ai voyagé sur des navires, dans des avions, j’ai entendu leurs histoires, vu leur langue évoluer et se transformer. J’ai commencé à comprendre leurs sentiments, leurs motivations et leurs rêves.

Et finalement, je me suis retrouvé au sommet d’une église de New York. Un lieu de culte qui croyait que je pouvais les protéger, ainsi que tous ceux qui y entraient, contre le mal.

Là, j’ai attendu avec un seul espoir. Que, quelque jour, quelqu’un aurait besoin de moi, quelles que soient mes fautes, même si je n’étais rien de plus qu’une bête brisée, rejetée et féroce.

5/5 Stars 5/5 Spice
Usually monster/beast romance aren't really my jam but since this was Melissa Cummins & I loved her Crowned in Blood book & this sounded intriguing I figured I'd give myself something different a try & boy did she deliver on this. I love the FMC Sienna feeling like i can so relate to her when you sometimes feel like you have no one who care about you & you'd feel better if you just packed up & dissappear & start over. The Beast Sol OMG the way he loves for her, I was asking myself where can I find my own Gargoyle lol. Such a amazing read that IT DID NOT DISSAPOINT ESPECIALLY AFTER SIENNA GOT BURNED BY THOSE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FAMILY BUT SHE GOT CLOSURE WITH THEM & THEN FOUND HER HEA. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS HOTT KNOTTing Beast Read & read TODAY

Don't be fooled by the shorter length, it still has all the feels. It is a lovely bite sized story of betrayal, healing, and learning to love again.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was such a fun book to get lost in.

I picked it up expecting a good time and ended up flying through it way faster than I planned. It had that kind of pull where I’d finish a chapter and immediately want to keep going.

I think my favorite part was how easy it was to just sink into the book and enjoy the ride. Sometimes you pick up a book and everything clicks right away, and that’s how this one felt for me.

I was completely entertained from start to finish and found myself smiling more than once while reading. The pages seemed to disappear, and before I knew it, I was already at the end.

Honestly, this was just a really enjoyable escape and exactly the kind of book I was in the mood for.

Betrayed!

Betrayed and then she's attacked. Saved by Sol, she finds the one who is truly meant for her and she for him. He gives her the devotion and attention she deserves. A quick read and a new take on Beauty and the Beast. You'll love it.

Willing to try love again

A very good short read with a lot of action. With an alpha gargoyle knowing what he wants and preparing to meet his mate. A heroine who has been hurt and used by her family willing to be put first and loved.

A must read

I received an ARC copy of this book and I devoured it in one sitting. This is a quick read that will make you angry, make you cry, make you fall in love with a possessive gargoyle, and get you a little hot under the collar. My Vicious Beast is a great follow up to My Brutal Beast. Melissa Cummins is one of my favorite authors.

A fast-paced, sizzling monster romance that completely delivers!

Melissa Cummins has done it again with My Vicious Beast! If you are a fan of dark monster romance and Beauty and the Beast retellings, this novella is a must-read.The Plot: I loved watching Sienna find her backbone, leave her incredibly toxic family behind in a small town, and head to New York for a fresh start.The Hero: Sol is everything you want in a monster romance lead—possessive, fiercely protective, and deeply devoted from the exact moment he saves her. An ancient gargoyle waking up from a deep slumber just for his fated mate? Yes, please.The Vibe: It’s short, fast-paced, and packs a massive punch of emotion and spice. The world-building feels seamless even for a novella, and the chemistry between Sienna and Sol is off the charts.Highly recommend this if you want a quick, steamy, satisfying read with a guaranteed Happily Ever After!

This book was really intense and I loved the ride! There was a lot of inner discovery and angst to get to the end but that was half the fun! If you like dark themes with a HEA, you'll love this little romp! :-)

Short but viciously good

I don’t understand how this book got me so invested in such a short read. But man was I locked in from the beginning. Sienna had me captivated with her story and personality. There were multiple moments I cheered for her out loud. Couldn’t help it. The way she took no **** with regard to James and her sister, or her parents, made me so happy. Sol is the definition of possessive and obsessive. He is so very intense, but for Sienna he is so gentle and caring. It was a delicious combination. The chemistry and tension between them was so heated and on point. Their connection was intense and raw. It felt so genuine and intimate. And the ending they got felt like it was utter perfection for these two.

Enjoyable Beauty and the Beast inspired tale

I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I was very excited to see a new book come out. It definitely exceeded expectations. Although a relatively short book, I still felt the characters were portrayed well and could understand why they felt and thought like they did. I'm a sucker for fairy tale retellings especially Beauty and the Beast and this one didn't disappoint.I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Sol & Sienna

Sweet, fast-paced story between Sol and Sienna as two wounded hearts find their way together. Wounded by deep betrayal, Sienna fights insecurities she’s faced her entire life that make her question if she’s worth loving at all. Sol, carrying the trauma and crushing guilt of his past, believes himself to be completely unworthy of love. But when Sienna’s soul calls him, Sol can’t help but go searching for her. Together, they find themselves more similar than different, even if they’re from worlds apart.Favorite Quotes:“Love, real love, is quiet, yet so sure there’s no room for doubt.”“I will not give up. I will not surrender. I will do whatever I must to win her heart. That is how much she means to me.”“There is no battle I wouldn’t fight if it meant keeping you safe, not just your mind or body, but your heart and your honor.”

Wow I sat down and finished this within 2 hours. Such a captivating story that will leave you wanting more. It's a beautiful freakier adaption to beauty and the beast. The first chapter draws you in and you really sympathise with Sienna's life story and how James destroyed her but she really comes out stronger and finding love in the most impossible way. How I crave to be in love with the beast too. I would recommend reading this once or twice xx

A Quick but Compelling Read

Sienna immediately draws you in. She is clearly going through it, but what stands out is how relatable she feels throughout everything. She is not overpowered or unrealistic, just a woman trying to survive a really difficult situation.Astrid is such an important presence in the story. With how awful Sienna's family and sister are, she stands out as the only true friend Sienna has. The magic is woven in subtly, acting as a quiet layer underneath everything.The Creature ends up being one of the strongest parts of the book. I liked how complex he was, especially once his backstory started coming out. He is not just a monster, but something far more layered and tragic. That makes his relationship with Sienna more interesting, especially given how protective he is of her.I also enjoyed the book overall and found it to be a quick read.

Elicia Z.

Short and to the point, this super cute Beauty and the Beast vibe book was a fantastic read.
The growth that both main characters went through for their love was inspiring and their spicy scenes were well written.
Can't wait to read more in the series.

The Dawn and her Savior

This is the second of the Claimed By Beasts series and it was a powerful novel filled with heart and heat and packed quite the punch! There are themes of betrayal and drama through past events, but it is an addictive, instalove read that is emotional and riveting and it culminates in a hard-won, sweet and spicy HEA.Poor Sienna has been dragged through a tough life, being bullied by so called friends and family and when she finally thought she had connected with the love of her life, she feels the sting of betrayal by him and her younger sister and the family that discards her and discounts her feelings. She finally chooses to put herself first and takes off for New York and through heartbreak and the discovering magic of growing and learning, she meets her loyal savior.Sol the Gargoyle, a creature beset by doubt and anxiety, is millennia old and worn down by the vagaries of the human world. He doubts himself, his abilities and duty and yearns for the one bright dawn of his life; for his mate to choose him. When a bright illuminance colours his mind, he sets off to search for that one person who will find him enough and deserving of a better and brighter future together.From heartbreaking, soulful and teary moments and hurtful drama to loving values, I have thoroughly enjoyed the hours of respite this reading has gifted me.I thank the author for giving me the opportunity to enjoy the arc and provide my voluntary review.

This is a compact but great read.
I really like Sienna’s character. She doesn’t back down and makes a very brave decision when the people that should fight for her let her down. I like how she is willing to golive her dream.
The vicious beast, will do anything for Sienna, and she needs, and deserves, that commitment.
This book at its heart, a very well-written, sweet romantic ode.

Spicy, delicious gargoyle with a vibrating tail-what more do you need?

This is a quick easy read that absolutely packs it in (pun intended :)). Characters are well developed for a short book, and i immediately liked the FMC. Starting off with some absolute rage at the idiots in the FMC’s life, we then quickly pivot to her finding a satisfying new start in NYC. Soon she’s found by the creature, who quite literally sweeps her off her feet. This is a fast burn with an obsessive and protective MMC who would give her the world. And he has a prehensile vibrating tail. That alone should be enough for you to read this book. Thanks to the author for the early read.

I need more.

3.5⭐️ Beauty and the Beast. And the Beast is a Gargoyle and he doesn't turn into a human. He's the Beast. He feels as a Beast should. He loves as a Beast should. He holds you against the wall, as a Beast should. A fun quick read for when you don't have much time, but want the hole story in one setting.It was ok. I didn't enjoy it as much as her other books. But that doesn't mean it was bad. Maybe it was the length. I needed more of the , "waited forever feel," that you don't get in Novellas.

Loved it

Want a quick read that will take you through a variety of emotions? This human/gargoyle love story might just brighten your day. Sol is a centuries old being who has been waiting for his mate to appear. Sienna is a human coming off of a terrible betrayal by her fiancé and little sister. Sienna has chosen herself amidst the family drama, gaslighting, etc and immediately sets out for a fresh start and I absolutely loved her character for this!Sol and Sienna are sweet together and though I’m jealous I am also really glad to see these characters get everything they want and deserve.

A Lovable Beast, short and spicy read!!

Poor Sienna! Her family is literally garbage,and then she finds out her fiancé is too. She meets Creature after almost dying. He should be the scariest thing she has ever encountered in her life but turns out to be the absolute best. I fell in love with Creature myself. He had so much humanity and depth. His love for Sienna and the care he took to make a home for her before he even found her was just stunning. Sienna was so easy to relate to as a person. How we all judge ourselves and that its hard to kick those thoughts and habits. It kinda makes me want more of them. Great job!

Beast? What Beast?

This is a short read; I call it a palette cleanser before moving on to something more hefty. This gargoyle is so in love with the woman he has waited a VERY long time for. This woman’s dream for a partner has come true. Of course, there’s more to the story, but I won’t ruin it for ya’ll. I strongly suggest you take an hour or so and read this feel-good paranormal romance by Melissa Cummins.

Chante H.

Aww this was so adorably sweet!

Poor Sienna, what a horrible family and boyfriend she had, but instead of falling apart completely she stood back up dusted herself off and kept going.

Her gargoyle was smitten before even meeting her, so glad she found acceptance and love from a monster who thought he was too broken to find his mate.

Quick fast-paced sweet monster romance.

Fantastic novella. An unorthodox love story beautifully written
