Curse of Shadows and Thorns

Did I go into this blind because of the gorgeous cover? Absolutely
Did it turn out to be one of my favorite reads so far this year? Also yes

There's no shortage of Beauty and The Beast retellings but this has to be one of my favorites. Royals, Fae, strong females, forbidden love, curses, and betrayal. It is a little predictable but the story, characters, and twists are all so good I was fine with the predictability.
