That ending!! WOW. Never has an epilogue given me so many feels and had me laughing AND crying hysterically. All the more reason to make sure you read Bea’s Academy of Rejects, Academy of Stardom, and Dancer’s duet before reading Grim and Beast’s duet. You certainly don’t have to but in my opinion you’ll be the most satisfied if you do. And if you can throw in Beyond the Horizon and the Freed Brothers, even better! Basically, just go and read all of Bea’s books and you won’t be disappointed!Now, onto Heads You Lose, the final book in Grim and Beast’s duet. Bea told us that she was going to bring the steam with this book and she was not lying!! The sizzling slow burn of book one gave way to the most incredible moments between these characters in book two. The romance, the spice, the banter— it was all written beautifully and passionately.Grim and Beast are complex characters with many layers, a badass power couple being only one of them. True to his name, Beast is all things powerful and ruthless. A true Beast in all things. However, there are many other sides to this character. There’s Beast the jokester, the friend, the loving son, and the hopeless romantic. Like her other half, Grim has many facets to her character as well. When Beast first comes back, she struggles with what it means to be Grim vs. being Kate, and it takes some time to realize that she can be both.These characters will always hold a special place in my heart and I’m grateful that Bea gave us this story simply because we fell in love with two side characters from previous books. If you are new to this author go ahead and start with The Freed Brothers or Academy of Rejects and keep going until you get to this book. Once you start in this world you won’t be able to stop!
