This is a grown-up fairytale romance. Ellie and Max are foolish new adults, trying to navigate a world that doesn't have a place for people like them - people who live passionately and in the moment. This struggle between who they are and who the world demands they grow up into comes with a fairytale curse: behave, or be turned into a Beist, forced to live by day as a cat wandering the moors.

Nicole once again captivated my heart and my imagination. I loved Ellie and Max, and all the side characters who were as real and loveable as the main couple. A fantastic book from a consistently fantastic authour.
