A Curse So Dark and Lonely

Fall in love, break the curse.

Cursed by a powerful enchantress to repeat the autumn of his eighteenth year, Prince Rhen, the heir of Emberfall, thought he could be saved easily if a girl fell for him. But that was before he turned into a vicious beast hell-bent on destruction. Before he destroyed his castle, his family, and every last shred of hope.

Nothing has ever been easy for Harper. With her father long gone, her mother dying, and her brother constantly underestimating her because of her cerebral palsy, Harper learned to be tough enough to survive. When she tries to save a stranger on the streets of Washington, DC, she's pulled into a magical world.

Break the curse, save the kingdom.

Harper doesn't know where she is or what to believe. A prince? A curse? A monster? As she spends time with Rhen in this enchanted land, she begins to understand what's at stake. And as Rhen realizes Harper is not just another girl to charm, his hope comes flooding back. But powerful forces are standing against Emberfall . . . and it will take more than a broken curse to save Harper, Rhen, and his people from utter ruin.

I want to read that one. I hope I can tackle it this month!

I love this series, I definitely recommend :)

I love this take on Beauty and the Beast. It has always been one of my favorite stories. This book does it justice. I love Harper. She isn’t your typical heroine and that makes her all the more amazing.

I'm almost done, I'm at the monster's chapters and I'm so stressed... Harper (view spoiler)[has been waiting for Grey all night long... Oh no!!! (hide spoiler)]
I really like this book, for a time I thought the author would create (view spoiler)[ a love triangle (hide spoiler)] but it seems like it's not the case in the end. Hopefully!
