I bought this book at my local charity shop as the cover looked interesting, and judging a book by its cover has paid off with this one! 

I loved this dark retelling of Beauty and The Beast mixed with Greek mythology. I really enjoyed the descriptive language and imagery, and the main protagonist, Nyx, was very likeable. The story is complicated, exciting, full of twists, and the ending was definitely worth it!
