Paranormal
While this is a beauty and the beast story don’t expect it
to follow the fairy tale exactly.
Beauty does meet the beast but the beast is a veteran whose scars are
from burns. Her father has nothing
to do with their meeting, but he may be one of the bad guys. Beauty is Jolie Benoit and the
Beast is Wesley Hauk. They have to
work together to rescue Jolie’s niece.
Although Hauk’s looks scare Jolie at first she comes to trust him and
consider him a friend.
This is a new world and quite a bit of world building has to
be done to set the stage for this series.
The Underlight is a worldwide organization that fights The Order of
Ananke (They want to control everything in the world). In Austin, Texas the Underlight lives
in a community located underground.
Jolie learns of the Underlight and The Order of Ananke when Hauk saves
her from kidnappers and takes her into the Underlight.
This is a good start to a new series. The writing is very good and the plot is
well planned and executed. I loved
both Jolie and Hauk. They were
both well-developed characters.
There were several secondary characters that added to the book. There was not HEA for this Beauty and
this Beast but maybe in the next book.
I can only hope as I wait for the next book in the series.
Carina Press published How Beauty Met the Beast by Jax
Garren in 2012.

I just read another review of this book, and it seems like it's a nice book! I hope there's an HEA too. :D
Great review!
