DNF. 
 I feel so so so bad for dropping this book, especially because I requested it to the publisher; BUT I did have high hopes for this one, it was one of my most anticipated books of 2014, I really thought I would like it, and I tried so hard to keep reading. I couldn't. 
 The story did not started out so bad, in fact it was not bad at all. Kinda strong, kinda bitter protagonist, I was looking forward to see her development throughout the book, then stuff happens and finally she is taken to the castle of "the beast" aaaaaaaaanddddd..... wait for it...... waaaaait for it. 
 INSTA LOVE. 
 not exactly with 'the beast', but... I don't know if it can be a spoiler, but I'd rather not explain. I'll just say that it is 100% insta love, and I just @#!$$^!#@!%%^ 
 ash. 
 it bored me to death after all. WHY? I mean, I know a lot of books handle the insta-love thing. Twilight was insta-love, and somehow i bought it, and I was into it, even if it is BS. There are, in fact, some books that can show the insta-love down your throat and you end up enjoying it. But in Cruel Beauty it just came out of nowhere. One second was kinda normal, the next kissing and heavy butterflies and fuzziness in the mind of the protagonist. I was literally just thinking "what just happened? Did I miss something? I probably did." 
 overall just... no. I'm sad. I was really looking forward to it, and it ended up being a drag to try to read. Failed to finish, won't be finishing. 
 *sigh*
