MY REVIEW
This book blew me away . I have always love the story of Beauty and the Beast . But as i grew up the fairy tale became a little bit darker and a little bit edgier and a lot more twisted . The author transports us back to a time of princes and noblemen . Wonderful woman who are strong and yet vunerable at the same time . The story has the same lessons to be learned to love based on ones heart and not how they look . Th author dives deeper into the story and also takes us to a dark place .
The characters are so intense and so well written . Isabelle is a tender woman who loves her father with all of her heart . She will do anything to keep her family safe . Even become engaged to an evil man who just wants to own her and torture her . She seems so weak and frail at the begining of the book and a total book worm . As you read you see that she is stronger and more feirce then she lets on . The moment she sets eyes on Prince Adam . Her life changes and she grows int o a woman who will do anything to protect her man . Prince Adam is such a tortured soul after surviving a fire that wiped out everything and everyone he loved . He has gone into hiding , hiding his wounds from the world . When he meets Isabelle . Things start to change for him . He reawakens the feelings that he has had hidden for a very long time . His heart starts to open up as Isabelle falls for him. He becomes the man that will save his beloved at any cost . He is the man that we all dream of . The man that will mover heaven and earth to bring his beloved back to him. The supporting cast is also very well written . They all add to the story in some way . Some we see as evil but the others have more to them and then bam it hits you they are evil and have been taken in .
Another story that grew up . The author wove a magical tale which i couldn't put down . I got this book and started reading in one evening and finished it that night . The way the author weaves the tale is masterful . She actually transports us back to the time . This isn't your childrens fairy tale . There is now Mrs Potts or chip , or magical candalabras dancing around . This story is darker and grittier with a twist . Their are some very dark parts in this book . There is a sexual assault in the book that might make you want to stop . But don't it adds to the story a lot . There is also strong sexual content and some swearing . This book isn't for the feint of heart. So if you want a grown up twisted fairy tale that will sweep you off your feet . Check out Beauty of the Beast by Rachel L Demeter
