The Beauty and the Beast retelling appealed to me when I first picked this book up - but it's so much more than just a fairytale remake. While some of the fairytale elements are there, Eloisa James has turned it around and comported this into one of her own making. 
 The book was good from the get-go but it isn't until Linnet loses that physical beauty of hers that the book really starts to become interesting. I won't spoil it for those who have't read it, but it's worth the read, believe me. It's at the very least, a highly interesting twist on that fairytale we all love.
