“I hate that I have to do this to survive. And I hate how fucking good it feels.”
“I’ve never felt more alone than in these moments.”
“Right now, all I see is a liar, and I’ve had enough of those to last a lifetime.”
“Do you believe that? That everyone has a monster inside them?”


An interesting and unique Beauty and the Beast retelling where the cursed FMC, Bella, is both the Beauty and the Beast.

Fast paced and easy to read. Couldn’t put the book down. 

Loved the slow burn between Bella and Gabriel. Bella’s internal struggle with what she had to do because of her curse, her loneliness, and her attempts to break the curse were heartbreaking.



I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
