Flinn's Beastly hooked me with its deep tale of romance and heartbreak.
Kyle Kingsbury is a rich, tall, blond, perfect...and a spoiled teenager that takes pleasure in breaking young girls hearts. A really a awful person that deserves a witch lesson about inside beauty. Then he meets Maggie, who in his opinion is ugly on the outside, until he finds the truth. after purposely setting her up to go with him to prom and then stood her up, Maggie knows she cant let him get away with the heartbreaking, and makes sure she teaches him a lesson he will not forget. That same night, he comes home only to the face of Maggie, who promises him a punishment he will never forget. with a blinding light she disappears, leaving Kyle to drown in his sorrow when he sees what a monstrosity he had become. Kyle's outside appearence now matches his heart; cold and ugly. If Kyle is unnable to find true love in the next two years, he will be trapped in this foreign body.
The setting of the book is in modern times in New York city. Kyle has access to the internet and Myspace. The author also included hints to older times, such as the old victorian style mansion that Kyle was sent away to by his father once he was cursed.
This book is much like the classic tale of Beauty and The Beast. The book tells a story of a young man with a curse that made finding love almost impossible, except for true love. The book also involves the main character bringing a young woman into his mansion and forcing her to stay, only for the young woman to fall in love with him.
I recommend this book to the young adult and teen groups.
