Curse of the Wolf King by Tessonja Odette
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh did I love this awesome take on Beauty and the Beast! I loved Gemma's spunk and King Elliott's journey as they both work together to save the the wolf king from the curse that will claim his life. The world building was so awesome, the characters so interesting, and the plot new and refreshing. I will certainly be reading the other 2 books in this series!

A Curse So Dark and Lonely(Cursebreakers #1) by Brigid Kemmerer

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can't wait for the 2nd book, so happy this will be a series & I can revisit with Harper, Prince Rhen, CommanderGrey and the villagers of Emberfall!!! I loved everything about Harper; she is fearless, courageous, protective of others, loves her family, and will not let her cerebral palsy define her. I rooted for her to break the curse, fall in love with Rhen, and vanquish the monster. Rhen and Grey stole my heart with their resolute yet resigned support of one another. I also loved the alternate worlds of D.C. and Emberfall, the fantasy, the changes in Harper, Rhen & Grey as they unite with their plot (alliance) with Harper as the Princess of Disi, bringing armies to strengthen Emberfall's borders. I loved the thrill of this retelling of Beauty and the Beast; I stayed up way late to finish this awesome read that gave me so many highs and lows, so much hope just to have it dashed (hated Lilith), Brigid Kemmerer's lush language, her story, her world building were just breathtaking and so enjoyable for this reader!

Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I listened to the awesome narration of Cruel Beauty on Audible by Elizabeth Knowleton. There were times as I listened that took too long to get to the story. The Beauty and the Beast aspect kept me listening as Nyx has been promised since birth to the Gentle Lord (who is really a demon) as his bride by her father. There was so much mythology that weighed down the story for me. I liked the Ignifex and Shade story lines but Nyx's feelings did not always ring true and strong. Wish I could say more about this fantasy and love triangle...
