The Beast is an animal You'd better lock the Gate Or when it's dark, It comes for you Then it will be too late Alys was the only one to see the soul eaters when they came to her village. The others were sleeping. They never woke up... Now, an orphan, Alys knows the full danger of the soul eaters. She's heard the nursery rhymes the chidren sing about the twin sisters who feed on souls. She's seen people disappear into the fforest and never come back. So why, then, does she find herself mysteriously drawn to the fforest? Is she what everyone around her says she is? A witch? Alys soon finds herself on a journey that will take her to the very heart of the fforest. There she must decide where true evil lies. And face the thing they call ... The Beast. A fairy tale with a difference: shivery, dark, and deeply satisfying. 'Read it if you loved The Handmaid's Tale' - Entertainment Weekly

3.5. I liked it well enough until the romance kicked in (the type where she feels tingles for the first teenage male she sees other than the ones she grew up with). Granted, the romance wasn't intrusive or anything but I always linger on it no matter how small a role it plays.
this is such a disappointing book ... it starts off 5 stars but then ofc there has to be insta love and not only that, plot revolves around the love interest at the end. it was so fucking good duder whyd you have to massacre my boy
