** spoiler alert ** 
 I was about to give this book a five star rating, but then I remembered some things that annoyed me in the beginning and told myself not to let those little flaws go. 
 I'll explain. 
 THE GOOD: 
 I honestly didn't think this book was going to be good. The cover was pretty, and the summary seemed interesting. I was just afraid that it was another one of those books that would disappoint because it's happened before. I've fallen in love with a cover and summary--then the story sucked. I was wrong, thankfully. 
 This story did not suck. It was beautiful. The mystery unraveled wonderfully and the Main Character was someone I liked. Actually, there were only two people I liked in this story: Nyx and Ignifex. Everyone else was horrible. 
 The story is very interesting and developed... but... 
 THE BAD: 
 Is it just me, or does Nyx keep repeating the same thing over and over and over again. Okay, I get it. She HAS TO BE THE SACRIFICE. She must've explained the whole thing like a hundred times. Her sister was a bitch in my opinion and had every right to be hated. Even her father and aunt had every right to be hated. Why should we not hate them? They have done nothing at all but sell her off! What kind of father is okay with their daughter being given away to a monster and is okay that she might be forced to have sex. Ugh~that made me sick. 
 Ignifex was, in my opinion, the kindest person in the whole damn book. He didn't force her to have sex with him. He didn't do anything she didn't want to do. He just left her alone and told her a few simple rules. Good, simply, right? 
 And she couldn't decide whether she loved Ignifex or if she wanted to kill him. Whatever fills the pages I guess. 
 All in all, it was good. I liked it enough to read it in a couple of hours. I even avoided doing my Spanish Work during class just to keep a few chapters of this novel. I'll probably read another book written by this author because the WRITING in this book was fantastic. She did a good job when writing this novel. 
 Yep :) 
 PS: This book is exactly what the summary says: A rewrite of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. You can tell, it's very obvious.
