This book started as just a regular spin off of Beauty and the Beast. I've read so many of those I can't even count. Yet something about the whole being injured drew me in and I knew that this retelling was going to be different than the other ones I've read.  And was it!I liked the detail she put into the story about exactly how the "Belle" character (in this version "Elle") fell in love with the beast (don't give me any spoilers sass, if you don't know how this story ends you've been living under a rock), but that's exactly what make this story fantastic! That not exactly how our ends!  I LOVED the twist ending and how all the clues were there but you didn't put the pieces together till the end.  It "technically" wasn't a complete surprise.While reading the book, I had a ton of questions and was going to write about how confused I was throughout the book, but then I got to the end.  The only thing she could've done better was to not forget about the ending.  The reader kind of forgets the entire reason that she was there in the castle in the first place and that's why the ending was so surprising.  She's could've reminded us more often so that maybe there was more resistance, or more uncertainty about falling in love.Overall the book read excellent and best read in one sitting.  NICE JOB!
