The Beast of Talesend by Kyle Robert Shultz
4.0
4.5 Stars
The Beast of Talesend was an all-around good time. It's such a fresh and clever twist on the classic fairy tale.
Taking place almost two thousand years after “ever after”, most people have stopped believing in magic. They don't believe that the fairy tales ever actually happened. Foremost of them all is private investigator Nick Beasley who's famous for debunking anything that could be remotely construed as magic. He doesn't believe in all that nonsense... well... that is until he's turned into a beast himself. What follows is a witty and wild adventure that I didn't want to end.
With a cast full of charmingly quirky characters, spectacular world building, and many laugh out loud moments, The Beast of Talesend is a must read for anyone who enjoys fairy tale retellings. I highly recommend it!
