When 19-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it ... or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
I’m pretty sure this will be on quite a few wishlists! Sarah J. Maas writing a Beauty and the Beast retelling?? What’s not to love about that!? Anything Maas writes will be on my auto-buy list, no questions asked. I CANNOT wait to read A Court of Thorns and Roses, and in honesty, May can’t come quick enough :D
I must have this book! I am loving the retellings this past year, and I'm so happy that I keep seeing more and more new ones being released. Excellent choice Alma

Thanks Monique! I love seeing all the new retellings poping up! There seems to be quite a few awesome sounding ones due for release next year, I'm so excited :D
DeleteI've seen this one around and I think it looks awesome! I haven't read anything else by this author but I'd give her a try for sure! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW!
I loved Throne of Glass, and I'm about a third of the way through Crown of Midnight right now, and I absolutely love her writing style! Definitely give her books a chance, I definitely think they deserve the hype :D I love the sound of A Court of Thorns and Roses, so hopefully it'll be just as amazing as her first series!
DeleteIt looks good but are we sure it's not a Tamlin retelling? ? because that would be awesome I just love the Irish tale of Tamlin. I wish more people would do those stories especially because I loved Katherine Harbour's retelling. either way can't wait
ReplyDeleteI think Sarah J. Maas has said it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling, with a little hint of Tam Lin thrown in :) Either way, it's sounds amazing! I have such high hopes for this. I loved Throne of Glass, and her writing style appeals to me so much :)
Delete(PS. I though Tam Lin was a Scottish tale, no?)
Nice pick! The cover is totally awesome! I admit I was a little hesitant when I first heard about it but I'll probably end up reading it anyway cause I love retellings!
ReplyDeleteI'm completely addicted to retellings! There are so many amazing sounding ones on the way in 2015, can't wait :D Sarah J. Maas has become an auto-buy author for me, so if she writes it, I will buy and read it! Thanks for stopping by Sarah!
DeleteYES!!! Sarah J. Maas is simply epic and I can't wait for this one!! Awesome pick :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Kate!
DeleteHa, I don't even care what it's about, it's Sarah J. Maas. I'll read it. Which is saying something, since it's supposed to be more NA than YA, right? I don't usually read NA, but I'm so in on this one. ;)
ReplyDeleteYep! Anything she writes, I'll happily read! Ooh but, I didn't know it was more NA than YA! It'll be interesting to see how that works out. I have complete faith in her, though :D
DeleteI am so excited for this as well. It sounds amazing! I love the cover! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteYay!! Can't wait to read this :D Anything Sarah J. Maas writes, I'll read!
