Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year, Prince Rhen, the heir of Emberfall, thought he could be saved easily if a girl fell for him. But that was before he turned into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. Before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, Harper learned to be tough enough to survive. When she tries to save a stranger on the streets of Washington, DC, she’s pulled into a magical world.

Break the curse, save the kingdom.

Harper doesn’t know where she is or what to believe. A prince? A curse? A monster? As she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what’s at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.

My 100 words or less review:

“I am always surprised to discover that when the world seems darkest, there exists the greatest opportunity for light.”

This is the best and most unique Beauty and the Beast retelling that I have ever read. Wow!

Nothing about this was ordinary. It was one of those books that held me with every page and I couldn’t stop reading. It was an instant love from the first sentence and now I can’t wait to get my hands on the second book.

Don’t hesitate picking up this book like I did. You won’t be lead astray.
