Isabella Farrington has not had many suitor since the day she put on a "cursed" necklace her father gave her from an archeological dig in Egypt. The necklace is suppose to carry dark magic, cursing the wearer with the death of the one they love and suicide for themselves.Lord Draven Winthrop is considered mad but truly he has been cursed by an old gypsy woman. Keeping himself as a recluse in Thorncliff Towers, he sees Isabella as an end to his problem and nothing more. He never expected the unbridled passion and desire for the woman he married.Two people cursed by black magic, makes for a vividly dark fantasy. Recreating an old tale and adding a few new twist Marina Myles paints us a dramatic picture of a world where werewolves, dark magic and sacrificial love can be found.I did struggle with a connection to the characters and yet I still found this story enjoyable. I am hoping with the continuation of this series, we will see the changes needed to save the town, the impact Isabella would have on Thorncliff Towers and what comes next for the Gypsy group.I received this ARC copy of Beauty and the Wold from Kensington Books in exchange for a honest review. This book is set for publication June 6, 2013.
