Curses by Lish McBride

5.0

Curses is a reverse Beauty and the Beast retelling about Merit, a girl who sometimes turns into a beast, and Tevin, whose fairy gift of charm doesn’t work on Merit.
If Merit doesn’t marry someone of her mother’s choosing before her eighteenth birthday, she’ll turn into a beast forever. Tevin’s mother crosses her and is captured, then trades Tevin for her freedom. Merit makes Tevin help her find a suitor, but what if Tevin is who she likes the most?
The cover is so stunning. The characters have the best quirks. The cover is so stunning.
Did I mention how pretty the cover is?
Yes, I'm obsessed, with the cover and the words. The ideas were nicely executed and I loved falling into the YA Fantasy world.
