Beauty & the Blade

Beauty & The Blade - S.C. Greyson 

Synopsis - 

Most London socialites dream of marrying for love or status, but Contessa’s wedding is about justice—and revenge.

Nathanial Woodrow is known on the streets of London as the Beast, leader of the fearsome Lion gang who mark their victims with three slashes on their face. Since her mother was found dead with the signature slashes years ago, Contessa has wanted nothing more than to see her murderer brought to justice. However, the Beast has been impeccable at maintaining his façade as the high society Mr. Nathanial Woodrow, and nobody has been able to gather enough evidence to convict him. When the Beast unexpectedly asks Contessa’s father, the Chief of the Royal Police, for her hand in marriage, Contessa and her father hatch a plan to bring him down from the inside.

As Contessa enters the lion’s den in search of evidence to convict the Beast, she finds that not everything is as she once thought. Her father’s work, hunting down Talented that use their magic to rule the criminal underworld, is thrown into question with each glimpse of the kind-hearted man beneath the mask of a hardened gang leader. As Contessa navigates her search for justice, she finds herself questioning what side she’s really on, and why she finds herself drawn to a man she’s supposed to hate.

My Rating 4/5 Stars 

This book was such an amazing retelling I love the revenge plot. I finished this in ONE day because I was hooked from page one. I can't wait to read book two and see where that one goes. Nate was by far my favorite and I'd have to say one of the best book boyfriends ever!

I believe in fairy tales..A Kingdom of Forgotten Curses

 

Kingdom Of Forgotten Curses A.R. Kaufer

A Kingdom Of Forgotten Curses Review!

First lets talk about the book!

I love love love this story. It was a beautiful Beauty and the Beast retelling with a splash of Dracula!

The writer A.R. Kaufer does a wonderful job describing scenes and bringing to life the characters. 

I have to say I really favored "the beast" I won't do any giveaways but he becomes very honest with 

Bellamina. I love the names and Dracke is such a protector. 

Next lets talk a little about the tropes here

This is definitely a retelling with a dark side and I love that because it sort of covers a bunch I would 

call this a romantasy easily. 

Where can you get this book you might be wondering right here. Run don't walk to get this beautiful

 book and read a wonderful retelling of a classic.

Literally, read this book in one sitting. I love the retellings and as an avid Beauty and the

Beast fan, this was so fantastic to read. This will be a book I reread many times. 10/10

amazing.
