A beautifully written Beauty and the Beast retelling.

Ends in a cliffhanger

Desperate to start the next book. I was quite invested and the characters pulled me in.

Unputdownable!! I read both books in the span of a day the first time and am on my reread and did the same thing again.
This is SUCH a refreshing take on beauty and the beast!

“Riding a sled isn’t the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done. It’s not even close. But, taking his hand in that moment feels like something else entirely, something that sets my nerves on fire and sends adrenaline coursing through me.”
SQUEEL!
