Product Description

Product Description

Seventeen-year-old Bee Hendrick's life took a sharp turn for the worse when her father lured her to a mysterious mansion outside town to rid his family of a magical debt. Now she's trapped inside an enchanted house with rooms that rearrange themselves at random, servants whose bodies are slowly morphing out of existence...and then there's Will, who is simultaneously the hottest and most frustrating guy she’s ever met.

At first Bee's only goal is to smash open a window and escape, but there’s just one problem... No one can leave until the spell is lifted, so if she wants to be free she must first break the curse cast over the house and its inhabitants. And she doesn't have the slightest idea how to do that.

Will wants nothing to do with Bee or her help, but he's running out of options. Time is almost up.

They must work together to break the curse, or they'll be prisoners forever.


**WHAT READERS ARE SAYING**

"I stayed up till 3 in the morning to finish this book and then wanted to read it again as soon as I was done! I loved everything about this book--the heroine, the Beast, the magical elements, mystery and delightful romance." ~J. Jane, a reader

"I bought this on impulse ... I'm SO glad I bought it and I loved the book." ~ Stacey Joy Netzel, reader/author

“This book has a little bit of everything in it and I absolutely loved it! There is the mystery of the riddle, intrigue, good vs. evil, love, betrayal, and no small amount of fantasy.” ~ The Caffeinated Diva review

"With a strong heroine, a well-layered mystery, and a truly great setting, The Curse Girl makes for a very solid paranormal read." ~ All-Consuming Books review


**EXCERPT**

He raked his gaze over me once. I felt like a package that had come in the mail, one in which the contents had turned out to be a slight disappointment.

“So you’re the Curse Girl,” he said finally, after a long pause. “The words of the curse spoke about a girl called Beauty, but I thought the line meant a beautiful girl.”


Approximately 40,000 words in length.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good re-telling 22 Nov 2012
By Kate Phillips TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition
Originally I did not think much of all these retellings coming out. I guess I didn't really see the point, but then I read one, and another one, and another and so far I have surprisingly enjoyed them, The Curse Girl is no exception.

This book was extremely easy to get lost in. It has the basics of Beauty and the Beast (which it is based on) but it is not the same at all. This is a lot darker and a bit more magical. The story was entertaining from beginning to end and the writing was very good. Some of the description and imagery was really nicely done.

My main issue with this book was the characters, I liked then but I couldn't quite connect with them and I could have cared about them more. Also, the ending felt extremely rushed which was distracting.

Despite a few niggles I really liked this, it is a very enjoyable, short read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Curse Girl 26 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I was so fortunate to receive a copy for review.

One for: AMAZING!
This is a wonderful quick adorable retelling of the classic tale of the Beauty and the Beast.

1 Star: The characters are likeable! Will is adorable and lovely annoying in the beginning.
2 Stars: Fairy tale elements. I LOVED the Fey Lands and how dangerous these magical beings really are. And I loved the fact that there was a stepmom and two stepsisters.
3 Stars: Their love doesn't develop that quickly. I hate when that happens
4 Stars: I love old fashioned boys so Will was spot on for me!
5 Stars: I never really liked the Beauty and the Beast, but I really like this version.

-1 star: WHY ISNT THERE MORE? THIS COULD BE EVEN MORE AMAZING if it was longer!
+ 1 star: the general magic of the house!

= total of 5 stars!
