Beastly

Beastly by Alex Flinn caught my attention and it might catch yours too! A different remake of "Beauty and the Beast'' that's going to keep you reading.

He's handsome, his dad is filthy rich,and he has the hottest girl in school wrapped around his finger(Sloane Hagen) Kyle Kingsbury a conceded student at Tuttle High (a private school) is about to get a wake up call. Not only is he conceded he was never nice to anyone in his whole life thinking he was the face of perfection. Until he picked on the wrong person, a very weird student at Tuttle, Kendra who was the perfect target. First he made her like him although she was hideous he offered to be her date for the homecoming dance. Then on the day of the dance he took Sloane and gave a rose to some nerdy scholar because he nor Sloane wanted it. Two rose petals had fell from it, Kyle stuffed them in his pocket. When he seen the witch like Kendra he and Sloane told her off! She warned him bad will happen but he thought it was just to scare him and it kind of worked.Later that night he found Kendra on his bed. She had transformed into a beautiful witch and told kyle he has two years (for the two rose petals) to find someone to love him as much as he loves them. While saying that, she turned him into a ugly beast and handed him a magic mirror that allows him to see anyone in the world.

When his father found out he thought it was a medical disease but when there was nothing to help he sent Kyle to live alone with a maid and a blind tutor. Kyle who changed his name to Adrian (the dark one) became miserable. He tried to find love on the Internet but with the magic mirror, Kendra told him it wouldn't work. Scared of his looks Adrian stayed inside. But with the tutor (will)as his new friend they both planted roses. Until one day a man broke into his green house ,scared of the beast he was willing to give up his daughter for his own life. Adrian took the offer only to find out that his daughter was the nerdy scholar from the dance. She started to hate him for taking her as his "prisoner." Lindy.

It took 5 months but Adrian and Lindy were practically in love. Soon he didn't keep her as prisoner she could leave but she didn't.Instead she loved there with him, but missed her sick cruel father, he was literally sick. Adrian was kind and let her go, she refused but went. As the months went by Adrian was alone again. He watched her sleep in the magic mirror , but only when she was sleeping. Until the last night of the two years he heard her voice,ADRIAN,ADRIAN. She was in the hands a creepy criminal. He ran through subways and streets not caring for the screaming bystanders, til he found an dark ally where he heard his name ADRIAN! ........risking his own life he got shot but he shot back the man was close to dieing and so was he. A kiss from Lindy, just at the stroke of midnight brought him to life and as Kyle.

Happier than ever he gets the girl and the hot looks back, learning a life changing lesson. Still being called Adrian he turned down living with his dad and lives with Lindy and his friend( the tutor .)

I think this book is my new favorite, his thoughts which were funny, exiting,and awkward was awesome. I didn't want to finish it i loved and i think you will too!
