The Beasts Heart by Leife Shallcross

The Beasts Heart - 3.5 Stars

Synopsis

A sumptuously magical, brand new take on a tale as old as time—read the Beast's side of the story at long last.
I am neither monster nor man—yet I am both.

I am the Beast.

The day I was cursed to this wretched existence was the day I was saved—although it did not feel so at the time.

My redemption sprung from contemptible roots; I am not proud of what I did the day her father happened upon my crumbling, isolated chateau. But if loneliness breeds desperation then I was desperate indeed, and I did what I felt I must. My shameful behaviour was unjustly rewarded.

My Isabeau. She opened my eyes, my mind and my heart; she taught me how to be human again.

And now I might lose her forever.

Lose yourself in this gorgeously rich and magical retelling of The Beauty and the Beast that finally lays bare the beast's heart.


Review


I received with thanks an ARC copy of The Beasts Heart from Hodder & Stoughton and Netgalley.

This is my true and honest review of The Beast Heart by Leife Shallcross. This was published on 3rd May 2018

This book is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favourite stories and have enjoyed most adaptations of this classic tale. This was good, and I found this to be enjoyable read.

Great book for YA fantasy and fairy-tale retelling lovers.
