What a surprise. First book of this series was free on Amazon and it is actually quite enjoyable. My sleepless night was quite nicely filled with this series. 
 This bookseries hops on to the "fairytales told anew" wagon and tells the Beauty and the Beast, again. This is a tale of Benella and how she ends up loving a beast and her love makes him a man. Oh, sorry, did I spoil you? Where have you grown up, in a barrel? Beauty and the Beast? Ring any bells? 
 This is a nice mix of Cruel Beauty and Court of Thorns and Roses and adds some of it's own spice to the plot. Benella was, not suprisingly, quite the damsel in distress, which I usually dislike, but it fit in to this story. I had to read this series in a row pulling an all-nighter and ended up sleeping only 2 hours before I had to get up to work today. Maybe my sleep deprivation makes me to give this so many stars? Well, this book ain't long and it's free so you'll lose only a few hours of your time if you hate it.
