Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

I loved the dialogue between the two main characters. This story is well crafted.  It's the retelling of Beauty and the Beast.  I like that Nyx is not a goody saintly gal but one with anger and craftiness.  The characters are well developed.  This book was recommended to me by Heather who has great taste in books.  She works at Petunia's Place, an independent book store.  Gotta love the indies!  Thanks Heather for recommending this book.  I bought it the same time as I bought Defy.  Great reads.  My students are loving the two books.
