Plague: The Tale of Sleeping Beauty
Four years after Briar Rose, otherwise known as Sleeping Beauty reawakens from her hundred year sleep, a plague infects the Kingdom. It turns the citizens into hideous demonic creatures with a taste for flesh, with the prince being the first. It also changes lizards, making them large monster mutated dragons.
She, along with a handful of others, including Lisana Blue Wind, have no choice to flee the castle as a result. Lisana’s species is named the Wheathering, winged humanoids with the gift of harmonic song.
They flee into some nearby woods and a castle is magically constructed for them.
Briar Rose and Lisana grow close, but their relationship is short lived as they run into a pair of infected children in the form of gingerbread cookies. Briar Rose is bitten and infected, and rather than become one of the flesh eating creatures, she choses to end her life. Lisana does the same.

The blurb reads more as a synopsis, giving away the entire plot of this book.
Considering the book is more of a short story, the number of errors are high. I was drawn to this story because of the unique mix of zombie-like creatures and fairytale characters. The idea had a lot of potential.
Unfortunately, the writer failed to create believable characters. Briar Rose has lost her prince, but wastes no time in getting over him with Lisana. The relationship felt forced as if it was just there for the sake of a lesbian relationship. I would have liked to see more of build up to Birar apparently falling for Lisana. It's like she just woke up one morning and thought, "my prince in gone, but she'll do".
The "blurb" says the pair kill themselves in the end, so why would anyone want to read, knowing how it ends? Obviously, I did, but that was my mistake.
