Review: Beastly by Alex Finn

Beastly by Alex Finn

 Beastly is an amazing story that resembles Beauty and the Beast, but in present day. Kyle has everything. Money, popularity, a gorgeous girlfriend, a great home, and everyone's admiration. The only thing Kyle doesn't seem to have is a heart. When a new student, Kendra, comes to school, the first thought Kyle has is how ugly she is. He also notices how creepy she is, and secretly, he's kind of scared of her. To play a mean joke on her, he asks her to the dance. Kendra assumes that this means that he has finally gotten a heart, but her thoughts change when she finds out that the only reason he did that, was to humiliate her. Kyle has made a big mistake, because what he doesn't know, is that she's secretly a witch, that puts a spell on him to be ugly. Now if he doesn't find love in a short period of time, he's doomed to be a monster forever. Lindy, a shy, quiet girl, ends up in Kyle's home, and is kept there. She slowly falls in love with him, and him for her, but how long can their love last with him being a monster? Follow Kyle and Lindy's inspiring journey, as they both learn that perhaps looks aren't all that important.

 An amazing book that is so inspiring and heartwarming! A great read for teens 13 and over! I recommend this to teens who enjoy romance stories, with a bit of mystery and suspense.
