#BookReview: Curtsies & Consequences by Melissa Constantine




Kira, Princess Royal of the Known Kingdoms, has a big, particularly hairy secret. That terrifying thing running through the woods around Corlea Palace? That's her.

And she plans to keep it up, using the magic of an old cloak to be the mythical Beast of Barlow. It's all going just fine until she receives an urgent request from her cousin Bertie to help him figure out why a group of orphans is turning into little copies of the Beast whenever they go outside. To help solve the mystery Kira is paired with Sir Robert, perhaps the most infuriatingly beautiful (and far too preceptive) knight on the continent, before a planned hunt for the Beast puts them in even more danger. All she has to do is keep her secrets close and Robert closer. 

Easy.

Until she wakes up as the Beast she's been pretending to be.








⭐⭐⭐
REVIEW
This book had an interesting premise, blending Regency vibes with some modern twists, but it didn’t fully capture my interest. The characters were engaging enough, but the plot felt a bit predictable and lacked the emotional depth I was hoping for. While it had its charming moments, the pacing was uneven, and it didn’t quite leave a lasting impression. An enjoyable, light read, but not one that stood out.
