Twisted (Never After)

From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of Aladdin.

She's his diamond in the rough. He's her worst nightmare.

Yasmin Karam, daughter to one of the richest men in the world, has never known strife. So, when her beloved father falls ill, she's determined to make his final days his happiest. His last wish? To see her married to a man of his choosing. Except Yasmin's heart already belongs to someone else. A servant. A street rat. A man her father would never consider worthy. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Yasmin strikes a desperate deal with her father's right-hand man, Julian, not realizing he has his own twisted agenda.

Julian Faraci has one goal: become the most powerful man in the world. He's built a future from broken bones and faded bruises, never caring who he hurt along the way. But when his mentor falls ill, he finds himself on the verge of losing everything, and he'll stop at nothing to inherit what is rightfully his. Even if it means forcing a woman he can't stand into marriage.

Yasmin is a brat who speaks out of turn, and he's the villain of her story. But he decides she'll be his--no matter what it takes to convince her.

Felt drawn out. MFC was bratty and self centered to me. MMC was hot but that's about it. Not a fan of this one

Another dark and twisty story with some romance weaved throughout. I love how the author makes the names from the original story's characters and makes up shady characters and complex storylines. Can't wait to see what the next Never After book is about.

A modern retelling of Aladdin. I love seeing how the author takes well known tales and twists them to make them more modern. It’s super cool to play connect the dots with references to the tales we all know and love. This story follows along the path of a Diamond Empire’s daughter and right hand man. Her father is sick and is planning on leaving the keys to the empire in his will. The daughter is the sole heir and the right hand man wants the power. He uses her youth and innocence to force her into a marriage, in order to take the throne. But little does he know, she will be his complete undoing. She takes his plans, twists them, and shows him….. a whole new world.
