New York Times bestselling author Meagan Spooner spins a thoroughly thrilling Beauty and the Beast story for the modern age, expertly woven with spellbinding romance, intrigue, and suspense that readers won’t soon be able to forget.Beauty knows the Beast's forest in her bones—and in her blood. After all, her father is the only hunter who’s ever come close to discovering its secrets.So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters out of their comfortable home among the aristocracy and back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Out in the wilderness, there’s no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas…or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman.But Yeva’s father’s misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he’d been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance. The Beast.Deaf to her sisters’ protests, Yeva hunts this strange creature back into his own territory—a cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of magical creatures that Yeva’s only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin, or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast?

"I actually haven’t read it yet! Still kinda new to the app and figuring out how it works. "

Victoria

"I accidentally bought this book, thinking it was on my tbr, so I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. It has enemies-to-lovers, nearly fatal misunderstandings, and I couldn't have come up with a better ending myself. Yeva is a strong-willed heroine, and the beast had me at war with my emotions. The plot twist wasn't hard to guess, but I still loved it."

"I liked this book a lot the story was very nice. As someone who really liked beauty and the beast this retelling was fun to read I only wish there was a little more of their story after he became human and they reunited. "

"It’s such and amazing retelling of the classic fairytale, the character development throughout the book amazes me and to have so many aspects change but still see the original story hidden behind new and exciting challenges is something that is hard to find in many retellings. "

"This book is by far one of my favorites now!! It was not what I was expecting but I loved it so much!! "

"Ok, so I can’t figure out how to post too books,but I also want to talk about Sherwood by the same author. These books are criminally underrated and I’m dying to talk to someone about them, especially because I only finished Sherwood last night. If you have read these books what did you think? If not then you should really give them a try, they’re definitely booktok worthy. For those curious as to what they are about, they are fairy tale retellings with major twist. "

"This is my second book of the series, and I'm taking a wild guess thinking that the theme of this series is "skin-crawling-ly annoying, heroines who are determined to make you hate them no matter how hard you try not to..." They are so ******* indecisive throughout 99% of the book...more than enough to make you stop reading. It's repulsive. I hate it."

Sarah

"I loved it so much. Had such a soft ending and such a fierce connection between them. It’s the basic capture the beauty but instead she falls in love much later in the book. So so good. Would recommend to everyone. "
