Fantasy was never my cup of tea and I was always a bit too pragmatic to really enjoy anything set in a magical world， however， Body Of Chaos is one of the few exceptions。 < Ripely has spent most of her life locked up in a tower， at the hands of her abusive “mother” who drains her magic from her instead of teaching her how to control it… Until one day， the mysterious Fletcher breaks into the tower and “saves” her。 He then brings her on a journey back to where she really belongs， surrounded by mag Fantasy was never my cup of tea and I was always a bit too pragmatic to really enjoy anything set in a magical world， however， Body Of Chaos is one of the few exceptions。 < Ripely has spent most of her life locked up in a tower， at the hands of her abusive “mother” who drains her magic from her instead of teaching her how to control it… Until one day， the mysterious Fletcher breaks into the tower and “saves” her。 He then brings her on a journey back to where she really belongs， surrounded by magic and danger。 >I really liked Ripley’s character。 She’s very realistically written， with her doubts and insecurities - coming from so many years spent with her abusive mother - her naivety and innocence when it comes to how dark and cruel her world really is - because of all the time she spent locked up away from it - and her very selfless and loving soul that makes her the perfect fairytale heroine。 Fletcher， on the other hand， was a lot more mysterious and even once I reached the end of the book， I still felt like I didn’t know anything about him。 The chemistry between the two of them is really good， they have a deep and mysterious connection that they can’t deny or resist， which results in some very well written spicy scenes。 The author built a world of magic， with vivid and detailed descriptions of the fantastical creatures inhabiting it and the wonders of its magical flora， easily transporting the reader into it。 This story was very good， but I must say that I’m left a bit confused and sad after that plot twist of an ending， I wasn’t expecting to finish that book crying in shock！ I’m looking forward to reading book 2 in the series and see what happens next， it can’t come soon enough！！ ⚠️ Some parts of the story are pretty dark， with heavy themes and graphic descriptions of some scenes， which didn’t bother me personally but I think it’s important to note for anyone who might have a problem with that。 。。。more

Literally finished this in 24 hours！ I’m absolutely enamored with this book！ Ripley is such a beautiful paradox。 She’s innocent to a fault， but I can tell that she will never allow that innocence to be her weakness again。 Fletcher… oh Fletcher， fletcher， FLETCHER！ I promised no spoilers。 But I was taught， if I have nothing nice to say， don’t say anything at all。 I need time to process before I can ever utter or read that name again。 Let’s just say， he could win an Oscar for his performance。THIS Literally finished this in 24 hours！ I’m absolutely enamored with this book！ Ripley is such a beautiful paradox。 She’s innocent to a fault， but I can tell that she will never allow that innocence to be her weakness again。 Fletcher… oh Fletcher， fletcher， FLETCHER！ I promised no spoilers。 But I was taught， if I have nothing nice to say， don’t say anything at all。 I need time to process before I can ever utter or read that name again。 Let’s just say， he could win an Oscar for his performance。THIS IS A MUST READ！ DEFINITELY STEAMY TO THE 10th DEGREE！ 。。。more

OMG， this was AMAZING！！A dark retelling of the Repunzel story。 Ripley has been locked away for 21 years when Fletcher finds her and helps her find her way back to where she belongs。 There is an overpowering attraction between the two and plenty of hot and heavy moments while they escape the people who want to take Ripley for her powers （and blood）， her mother and almost every other person they seem to come across。 There are so many twists and turns， you never know what might be real or who Riple OMG， this was AMAZING！！A dark retelling of the Repunzel story。 Ripley has been locked away for 21 years when Fletcher finds her and helps her find her way back to where she belongs。 There is an overpowering attraction between the two and plenty of hot and heavy moments while they escape the people who want to take Ripley for her powers （and blood）， her mother and almost every other person they seem to come across。 There are so many twists and turns， you never know what might be real or who Ripley should believe from one moment to the next。 Lots of adventure and love and a HUGE plot twist at the end that took the breath right out of me！I was not ready for this story to end and cannot wait for the continuation in book 2。 。。。more

I’ve been reading more and more dark retellings of the classics and this one was a perfect addition to my collection！ I love the relationship between Riley and Fletcher and i need more of them！ I couldn’t stop reading once i picked up the book！ I’m usually good at guessing the endings， but this one caught me off guard and I’m impatiently waiting for the next book！

This book was so good， I didn’t want to put it down！ 4。5 stars。 If you like dark fairytale retellings full of twists， you’ll enjoy this one。 Ripley and Fletcher’s story was so interesting to read and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here。 It’s not overdone with world building so it was easy and enjoyable to read。

This is a Rapunzel retelling that reminded me a lot of the movie Tangled。 While there were some parts that were more adult， it was just too much like the movie for me。 The story isn't bad， it just didn't grab my interest and I was a little bored towards the end。 There were several parts that I just couldn't accept as plausible。 While this is a fantasy novel， the situations and events still need to be linked together in a cohesive manner。 I don't like to not finish books， so I did， and I can say This is a Rapunzel retelling that reminded me a lot of the movie Tangled。 While there were some parts that were more adult， it was just too much like the movie for me。 The story isn't bad， it just didn't grab my interest and I was a little bored towards the end。 There were several parts that I just couldn't accept as plausible。 While this is a fantasy novel， the situations and events still need to be linked together in a cohesive manner。 I don't like to not finish books， so I did， and I can say the ending was a good cliff hanger。 If you really liked Tangled， you would probably like this。 。。。more

Body of Chaos is a dark fantasy retelling of Rapunzel and boy does this get dark。 Ripley has been locked in a tower by her horrible mother， who drains Ripley of her blood to keep her too weak to use her magic。 One day Fletcher shows up and upends Ripley's entire life。 He offers her a choice， sanctuary in a place that can help fix her magic。As I said before， this gets quite dark。 However， the author put content warnings in the beginning of the book， so I suggest all people read them。 （I， for one， Body of Chaos is a dark fantasy retelling of Rapunzel and boy does this get dark。 Ripley has been locked in a tower by her horrible mother， who drains Ripley of her blood to keep her too weak to use her magic。 One day Fletcher shows up and upends Ripley's entire life。 He offers her a choice， sanctuary in a place that can help fix her magic。As I said before， this gets quite dark。 However， the author put content warnings in the beginning of the book， so I suggest all people read them。 （I， for one， am super grateful for content warnings and think they belong in all books that tackle dark subject matter， so kudos to Beebe for that。） One scene was quite horrific， but I can't discuss it here because I'm a spoiler-free reviewer。 The story is fast-paced， and I didn't really connect with any of the characters。 Also， I feel like this book suffers from purple prose， further creating a distance from this reader。 I didn't hate this book， but I didn't love it either。 However， that's just me。 You may just find this story right up your alley。Thank you to the author for this ARC copy。 。。。more

Nicolette Beebe has created a unique twist on an old fairytale。 Body of chaos is a blend of dark fantasy mixed with the traditional story。 Ripely and Fletcher are a dynamic duo involving blood lust， a heated romance and a magical kingdom full of dark secrets。 The book paces perfectly， I found myself unable to put it down once I had picked it up。 Looking forward to the next installment。

I love Rapunzel and I love a fairytale retelling！ And this was very good！ It was a really good first book， the ending caught me off guard mostly because I forgot she was writing more！ this is little out of my regular genre of books but it wasn’t quite as dark as I was anticipating - but don’t get me wrong it WAS！Ripley and Fletcher were pretty much the darker versions Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder that I was expecting！ And they did have some sweet moments。 Him saving her from the tower， him telling h I love Rapunzel and I love a fairytale retelling！ And this was very good！ It was a really good first book， the ending caught me off guard mostly because I forgot she was writing more！ this is little out of my regular genre of books but it wasn’t quite as dark as I was anticipating - but don’t get me wrong it WAS！Ripley and Fletcher were pretty much the darker versions Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder that I was expecting！ And they did have some sweet moments。 Him saving her from the tower， him telling her how they know each other， her staring to have feelings for him and not having a filter about it and her realizing that life outside of the tower can be exciting and she has a whole life waiting for her。 But it is actually still terrifying out there？！ And there’s so many things out to get her！The fantasy part felt very magical！ The world was well built even though we don’t necessarily know everything！ And I think our understanding will grow with the next books， which is exciting！I feel like there was a lot happening in a short amount of time？ But also somehow not enough was happening？ It was a quick read and since there’s more books I think that will be great， and it was a good first book of a series。 And the ending was not at all what I was expecting！ I am a strictly HEA girlie and it caught me off guard。 But once I remembered there are going to be more books it all made sense！Thank you to Nicolette Beebe for this ARC in exchange for an honest review！ 。。。more

Okay… let’s talk about this book that called me because of this wonderful cover。 I will start by saying that when I started reading， I couldn’t manage to like the story or characters so much- didn’t empathize with any of them。 But， slowly， after I fully invested in this story， I started to like it more and more， until I finished and now I have one feeling: I need the next book right now。Ripley is a girl who was trapped in a tower by your mother， her whole life。 Constantly tortured by her， Ripley Okay… let’s talk about this book that called me because of this wonderful cover。 I will start by saying that when I started reading， I couldn’t manage to like the story or characters so much- didn’t empathize with any of them。 But， slowly， after I fully invested in this story， I started to like it more and more， until I finished and now I have one feeling: I need the next book right now。Ripley is a girl who was trapped in a tower by your mother， her whole life。 Constantly tortured by her， Ripley didn’t know anything except this life。 One day， she was rescued by a man- Fletcher， who promises her a different life and who promises her a safe place to be herself。 This is how the story began and， even though I didn't like so much about the exhausting times Ripley grabbed herself in danger， I didn’t expect the cliff in the end and now I have many theories to explain the whole thing。P。S。: I love Fletcher， of course。 。。。more

Where to start？ This has been one wild ride。 This dark retelling of Rapunzel is full of action， vivid descriptions， twists， and turns。 The author certainly knows how to keep the reader's attention。 It was very tense until the very end。 And the end， oh myy， I love the end - that plot twist raised the book to a higher level。 Can’t wait to see what will happen next。The main character Ripley goes through a lot of emotions as she tries to find her place in the outside world。 After being trapped in th Where to start？ This has been one wild ride。 This dark retelling of Rapunzel is full of action， vivid descriptions， twists， and turns。 The author certainly knows how to keep the reader's attention。 It was very tense until the very end。 And the end， oh myy， I love the end - that plot twist raised the book to a higher level。 Can’t wait to see what will happen next。The main character Ripley goes through a lot of emotions as she tries to find her place in the outside world。 After being trapped in the tower for 21 years， it's normal that she is naive。 I expected her to be more cautious though， to be more afraid， but she surprised me， and who doesn’t love surprises？ Her love for the outside world is contagious and forces you to pause in this fast-paced lifestyle and fall in love with the world around you all over again。 The only things I wish were a bit different - I wish we'd gotten more insight into the world and that the story was slower because it moves super quickly in a way that didn't allow me to connect with the characters on a deeper level and I prefer slow romance。But I was blown away by how good the ending was。 I have to admit that I have so many questions now and I can't wait to find out the answers。So if you like:- Rapunzel retellings- Dark， twisted stories- Fast paced fantasy- Spicy romancethis book is definitely for you。 ;）I thank Nicolette for giving me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review and the opportunity to read this magical story。 。。。more

As an AI language model， I don't have personal opinions or emotions， but I can provide some information about the book "Body of Chaos。" Unfortunately， I could not find any book with this title。 However， there are different books with similar titles such as "Chaos" by James Gleick， which explores the concept of chaos theory in science， mathematics， and nature。 Another book titled "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk examines the link between trauma and the physical， mental， and emotional effects on the human body。 Let me know if you have any other questions on this topic。
