It's a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in New York City. The age of the characters put me off a bit, anticlimactic, too short but I liked it. Besides, I have two pretty good reasons on reading it. 
 1.	Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy-tale of all time. 
 2.	There will be a movie where the Beast will be played by the one and only Alex Pettyfer (my Jace Wayland)
