The Beast of Talesend by Kyle Robert Shultz

Nick is like 75% done with everything in life and he is adorable XD

This was a fun read. I love the way fairytales have been woven into the world as facts of history (more or less). It's not medieval in setting (there are guns and automobiles), so it made fairytales seem old-fashioned, but we find they're very real. And sometimes not as "happily ever after" as we're told.

Crispin is a precious teddy bear XD I loved his and Nick's relationship, though I didn't see a lot. It'll be interesting to see how it develops (for better or worse). And I have theories that really worry me... o.o Cordelia is a saucy thing with a well-intentioned heart which I ship with Nick's skeptical one. B)

The plot overall felt a bit quiet (though things definitely get intense), but I'm guessing that's because it's book 1 of a series. It'll be interesting to see where this tale goes.
