Falling out of a window didn’t hurt as much as falling for her.
Tove Savage. When the most beautiful girl in the world treats you like her dirty little secret, you’re reminded that beasts are meant to live in the dark. Tove used me to get back at her boyfriend, breaking something inside that left a scar far deeper and uglier than the one marring my face. Three years later Tove arrives at my hospital broken and without her memories. BEAST is a twisted Beauty and the Beast retelling. Beauty is more than skin deep. |
I am truly sorry that I could not love this book because the male lead would have been so worth it – he is an innocent victim in this emotional mess. Have you ever read a book where you had the feeling that even though the leading characters might get their HEA – they would have been better off if they had never met? Well – I found one just now … No matter how much I wanted – because let’s be honest everybody loves a good “beauty and the Beast” plot – I could not bring myself to even like the female lead one tiny bit. Instead, I resented her more with every chapter I read and there was nothing there that could redeem her in my eyes. She was as shallow as any female queen bee antagonist in other books usually is. No – stop – she was even worse – and probably according to my own rules I should rate this book with 5 stars because it made me feel – ANGER – but that was not the plan when I came up with those rules… |
