This book was a great combination of "Little Red Riding Hood" & "Beauty & the Beast". Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorites so reading a fairy tale retelling that combined it with another was really fun. This book is filled with interesting characters and intriguing plot twists that will keep you guessing until the end.
The eldest daughter is
often doomed in fairy tales. But Bella — Isabella Beauchamps, daughter of a wealthy merchant — vows to escape the usual pitfalls.
Anxious to avoid the Traditional path, Bella dons a red cloak and ventures into the forbidden forest to consult
with “Granny,” the local wise woman. But on the way home she’s
attacked by a wolf — who turns out to be a cursed nobleman! Secluded in
his castle, Bella is torn between her family and this strange man who
creates marvelous inventions and makes her laugh — when he isn’t howling
at the moon.
Breaking spells is never easy. But a determined beauty, a wizard
(after all, he’s only an occasional werewolf) and a little godmotherly
interference might just be able to bring about a happy ending…
