This book had a familiar plot. The more I read the more I recognized the beauty and the beast story. Except the writer goes to great lengths to portray a beauty who was a beast, a beauty who doesn't see herself as a beauty and a beast who can't get past his physical imperfections. This couple is framed by a pair who are pretty much perfect and would also come together near the story's end. And a kind of bestial love turns the plot also.The book should have rated 4 stars. But the writing was embarrassingly in need of heavy editing. Run on sentences, wrong word choices, creative spelling and elementary grammar and punctuation errors muddled the writing on nearly every page. I've been told that formatting text to Kindle  can produce glaring errors, but unless this was done with a primitive predictive text program,  there is no explanation for these strings of grammatical problems. Bring back the editors! Put them to work! Please! 4 stars for story telling ,and 2 because I hated the mangling. But if you enjoy a pleasant hea story with a side of suspense, and messy writing doesn't make you crazy, this is an ok read. After all, I read itt twice, apparently. Though I think I would have remembered the fractured English.
