Loved it! Of course, I love almost all fairytale retellings. And this one, based on Beauty and the Beast, is definitely a good one. In this one, the fairytale guy crosses into our real world, swipes a teen whose family has seen better days, and takes her into their world so she can fall in love with the Prince. One of the cool things is that she has cerebral palsy and walks with a limp. But that is not seen as a burden, but more a testimony of her strength. Also, we see that the beast has a hidden beauty and hidden dark side. Good action, fairly believable love story, and a great "twist" of a fairy tale. Don't think I'm going to read the next one, though. If anyone else does, let me know how it turns out.
