The Isle of the Lost by Melissa de la Cruz
5.0

I have loved Melissa De La Cruz since reading her Blue Bloods series, but she really out did herself in this book. I love reading twists on classic fairy tales and I couldn't put this one down once I started it. Ironically I am in Disney World and surrounded by those original fairy tales themselves as well. There is a huge amount of character development and I enjoyed reading it from different points of view. I hope that this series continues in novels and not just the movies. The only disappointment was that the "good" characters, other than Belle, seem a little blah and vapid. I hope that we get to see another side of them
