A monster is holding me hostage inside a chateau.

The world is plagued by creatures called the Dread.

And he’s their king.

I’ve tried to run. I’ve tried to hide. But there’s no escaping him.

He wants to turn me into one of the creatures.

Unless...I find a way to break the curse.

A curse that has turned him into the monster that he is.

He wasn’t supposed to destroy cities. He’s one of the Celestials meant to save humanity.

As I uncover the truth and break his curse, I wonder if I’ve lost myself in the process.

Can I still escape him?

Or has he taken my heart forever?

I was constantly guessing. The alchemists were very mysterious and frightening and the mysteries still unsolved I can only imagine. I eagerly anticipate listening/ reading the next installment.

I love how suspense filled this retake of beauty and the beast is!

One of my favorite retellings of Beauty and the Beast!
Emma is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Her storylines are fresh, her characters are well-developed, and the worlds she builds are absolutely fantastic, rich with lore and depth.

This particular tale is a complete slow burn with no spice, but honestly, the story didn’t need it. It completely held my attention from Chapter One all the way to the end. Narration was wonderful. She did various voices for all the characters.

Highly recommend for fans of magical retellings done right!

Love the Beauty and Beast re-telling

This book was incredible! I love fairy tale retellings, but Emma Hamm has such a special skill set for taking a classic tale and elevating it. I fell in love with Amica and her spunky personality! I felt like the story was totally original despite being a “retelling.” The creativity, and the detail is so impressive, and the audience truly just gets whisked away into this beautiful and compelling world. The story truly has it all, romance, suspense, danger, twists and turns and an unbelievable heroine. I also enjoyed the Dread, and the “evil” in the book that challenged the main characters in a unique way. Emma totally crushed this and I would absolutely recommend to anyone who enjoys Disney princesses, Leigh bardugo, Sarah Maas and dark twists on classics! I received this title for free, but chose to leave this review of my own will.

Breathtaking!
