The Rose and the Thorn

A Beauty and the Beast Retelling (The Fey Collection, Book 1)

De: Katherine Macdonald

Narrado por: Sasha Higgins

A gripping and mesmerizing retelling of a classic story, filled with romance, mystery, and intrigue.

There is a pale, penetrating loneliness etched into the walls of this forgotten place. A kind of loneliness made living...is this what it feels like to be a ghost, alone in some kind of half world?

Taking shelter from a storm, Rose accidentally strays into a deserted fairy realm and finds herself trapped there with only a mysterious talking beast for company. Although initially reluctant to befriend her strange companion, Rose quickly finds herself growing closer to him. She names him Thorn, and as the castle blossoms into a place of beauty, so too does their friendship. But something else lurks within the walls, a dark force that will stop at nothing to be free once more....

If Rose is to survive and lift the curse placed upon the castle, she will have to face her fears and conquer the nightmares that have haunted her since childhood, as well as confront the terrifying creature that stalks the shadows in the night.

fun and exciting twist on Beauty and the Beast

I didn't think I would like this story as much as I did, after all it says that the book is a twist on beauty and the beast so I figured I would already know where the story was gonna go. This book surprised me and I was very excited each time I got to listen to it. I definitely recommend it.

Great story

I loved everything about it. The characters, the story and well ... EVERYTHING!! I can reread it a thousand times

Very Enjoyable

This story had elements of the story we all know, but had a refreshing twist.

what the live action should have been

I loved this book! though you could predict what the end was it was written so well that I didn’t even notice. the ending ties it up in a satisfying little bow.

Immerse yourself into a fairy tale!

The story itself was wonderful and flowed wonderfully, but... definitely needed a different narrator. Every sentence sounded like a question, didn't have much depth and didn't convey the correct emotions to match the story. I highly recommend READING this story instead of LISTENING to it.
