'Cursed Beauty' by Stacey O'Neale

 

4 stars!

Book Blurb:

"The day has come for sixteen-year-old Aurora to receive her witch mark. She should be thrilled. But unlike the rest of her coven, a centuries-old family curse has already decided her fate; the cost of her new power is her life.  

After the ceremony, her grandmother offers her hope: Aurora can save herself and prevent her coven from dying by awakening a sleeping prince with the power to break her curse. Unfortunately, she must travel through the forbidden Shadowlands to reach him.

The enchanted forest is filled with magical creatures—friends and foes—including the mysterious son of a powerful wolf pack leader. Can she find the prince in time, and if she succeeds, will he choose to help despite having been placed under the sleeping spell?"


Review:

Start with 'Sleeping Beauty'  
Swap genders, remove Maleficent 
Make Aurora a witch with magic
Send her to travel through an enchanted forest to break a curse 
Add shifters, magical creatures and a sleeping vampire prince  

Result = 'Cursed Beauty' is a well done fairy tale retelling making for an enjoyable quick read for fairy tale and fantasy fans.

'Cursed Beauty' will be available on August 30th as part of the Amazon Kindle program and wherever physical books are sold.
