Publisher Description
"Curses is the 'Beauty and the Beast' retelling I've been waiting for." --Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"A unique and twisty magical romp!" --Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author
Merit Cravan refused to fulfill her obligation to marry a prince, leading to a fairy godling's curse. She will be forced to live as a beast forever, unless she agrees to marry a man of her mother's choosing before her eighteenth birthday.
Tevin Dumont has always been a pawn in his family's cons. The prettiest boy in a big family, his job is to tempt naïve rich girls to abandon their engagements, unless their parents agree to pay him off. But after his mother runs afoul of the beast, she decides to trade Tevin for her own freedom.
Now, Tevin and Merit have agreed that he can pay off his mother's debt by using his con-artist skills to help Merit find the best match . . . but what if the best match is Tevin himself?
Customer Reviews
BEST. BOOK. EVER.
This book is amazing. I honestly don’t know how Lish McBride pulled off this amazing book. Honestly, it took me a while to realize that this was a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, it’s so original. It perfectly blends our world with an imaginative world, with so much detail that it all seemed so real to me. Everyone should read this, because everyone relates, or wants too, with this book.
Beautiful Beauty & the Beast retelling with a twist!
Fast paced, beautiful retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Absolutely loved the LGBTQ+ representation and addition of a nonbinary culture. Enjoyed the hodgepodge of characters and the slight but powerful references to mental health and its importance. Realistic family dynamics, laugh out lout hijinks, an imaginative use of magic, and a sprinkling of romance really made this a truly enjoyable ride! *I received an ARC prior to release in exchange for my honest review.
