As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

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.
