Humility by Brooklyn Cross is book one in the Virtues Fairy Tales Series. It’s a Dark Retelling of Aladdin! Oh my god! This book has skyrocketed to the top of my favorites that Brooklyn has ever written. I’m still spellbound over this book, it’s so good! When I sat down to read this I never imagined that I would lose my day, I was engrossed. I could not stop reading till I finished. This had everything I could have wanted… why choose, a revenge plot, forced proximity and second chance to name a few. I will mention to check your trigger warnings to be on the safe side. I loved this book so much! The worldbuilding and plot was so enticing; the writing was phenomenal. (Trust me, I read a lot of retellings and this is one of the best.) The characters were written beautifully; you could feel their emotions through the pages. Jasmine was strong, determined and absolutely knew her worth. I loved her interactions with the love interests unique to each. Also did I mention the mafia aspect? The whole experience was just top tier. And the spice was so…so good, a chef’s kiss if you will. I can’t begin to recommend this book enough. I just finished this book and can’t wait for the next installment in the series. 

Final review:

5 out of 5 stars
