True love’s kiss just may prove deadly....
Mirabelle’s past is shrouded in secrecy, from her parents’ tragic deaths to her guardians’ half-truths about why she can’t return to her birthplace, Beau Rivage. Desperate to see the town, Mira runs away a week before her sixteenth birthday—and discovers a world she never could have imagined.
In Beau Rivage, nothing is what it seems—the strangely pale girl with a morbid interest in apples, the obnoxious playboy who’s a beast to everyone he meets, and the chivalrous guy who has a thing for damsels in distress. Here, fairy tales come to life, curses are awakened, and ancient stories are played out again and again.
But fairy tales aren’t pretty things, and they don’t always end in happily ever after. Mira has a role to play, a fairy-tale destiny to embrace or resist. As she struggles to take control of her fate, Mira is drawn into the lives of two brothers with fairy-tale curses of their own ... brothers who share a dark secret. And she’ll find that love, just like fairy tales, can have sharp edges and hidden thorns.

I hadn't heard of this before but it sounds really really good! I think this will be a big hit especially with the popularity of shows like Once Upon a Time. Fantastic pick!
Wow this sounds good - I'll have to give it a try! :)

Ooh, this one looks great! I love the blood on the rose for the cover, too. Makes it more dramatic.

Ooooo that sold me on this one! Love the sound of it, love the beautiful yet disturbing cover, but don't love how far away April is:( Awesome pick Lea!
Ooo, what a COOL cover! *runs to add it to TBR list* Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't hear about this one yet. :)
This was one of my WoW picks last week! Love the dramatically striking yet simple cover. The premise sounds a bit like the TV show Once Upon a Time (do you watch it?) which I've been enjoying. Just generally I'm a fan of fairy tale retellings so I think I'll probably like this one!
I can't wait for this book! Sarah Cross's previous book, Dull Boy, is easily one of my favorite reads, so I'm hopeful this one won't disappoint!
