"Super cute, sweet & funny reimagining of Beauty and the Beast! Character roles are gender swapped, and the hero isn’t your typical “good guy”. Definitely add Curses by Lish McBride to your TBR!"

"I love fairy tales, I love when these stories get made into movies (like Disney), mostly I love retellings. New perspectives on favorites. This REVERSED Beauty and the Beast retelling just took me by surprise and I was hooked. <br/><br/>I enjoyed the world building, as this setting was so complex, and I appreciated the descriptive writing, and all the types of creatures within it. The characters, were all key, and fun to read about. The main character Merit who is our ‘Beast’ is a bit stubborn, which is a bit relatable TBH. Our ‘Beauty’ Tevin, is a hard not to love character, based on his initial description in the synopsis. He surprised me, and I loved him!! <br/><br/>Definitely a worth while read, with an unexpected ending. So if you’re a fan of all things fairy tale related, you need this one on your TBR, preorder it today!"
