Beauty's Beast by Amanda Ashley

Beauty's Beast by Amanda Ashley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beauty's Beast is Beauty and the Beast meets The Phantom of the Opera. Kristine, condemned for murder, escapes the executioner's blade when the cursed lord of Hawksbridge Castle buys her to be his bride.

I've been looking forward to this book ever since I read a sneak peek. I'm a fan of anything B&tB and this tale didn't disappoint. The plot was interesting and stayed true to the classic tale. Even so, I found parts of it to be unpredictable. There was a part in the book that reminded me of Maiden's Song, but the plot twisted from there. One thing that frustrates me is I can't remember the name of the book I read that begins the same way with the condemned heroine. They cut her hair off, too. I wish I could remember the title, but it continues to elude me.

I recommend this book if you love Beauty and the Beast and/or The Phantom of the Opera. Another good read from Ms. Ashley!

Here's my list of 10 books that have never left me, in no particular order.

2.  A Rose in Winter by Kathleen Woodiwiss
3.  Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

What are your books?  It doesn't have to be a list; you could name only one or two books that have stayed with you.

I continue to work on revisions for The Whisperer of Storms.  I have a tendency to head-hop with POV, thus I'm remedying that.  I have more time to work on revisions now that school has started.
  
Have a good weekend!
