![]() I was really unsure how my Disney-loving heart would cope with this desecration of ‘Aladdin’, but other than the characters’ names - Jasmine and Jafar are the couple at the heart of the novel - and the other residents of Culver City who will make appearances throughout the ‘Wicked Villains’ series - Meg, Hades, Tink, Hook, Belle etc - there’s no other connection to the classic film of my childhood. It’s almost enough for me to be happy…īut a gilded cage is still a prison, and I’ll do anything to obtain my freedom-even betray the man I’m falling for. He sees to my every need, no matter how carnal or extravagant. We know each other-and the dark desires we share-far too well. ![]() We fight during the day, but when night comes, we play out every fantasy I’ve never allowed myself to admit to having. I foolishly assume I have a chance to come out on top. In my arrogance, I play right into his hands. On the night Jafar takes everything from my father, he offers me a devil’s bargain-walk with my freedom and nothing else, or attempt to best him and regain my inheritance. ![]() Once upon a time, I was a sheltered princess. Katee Robert is quickly becoming a BookTok darling and I just couldn’t wrap my mind around the premise for the ‘Wicked Villains’ series, so I obviously downloaded the first book, ‘Desperate Measures’, and gave it a whirl. If you’ve spent any amount of time on BookTok or BookTube recently, you’ll probably have stumbled across a series of erotic villain-led Disney retellings. ![]()
