The Northern Witch's Book Blog

Hello lovely readers. I've been taking part in a few interviews, etc, and they tend to ask the usual questions about plot and characters. And it got me thinking, some of my main characters are awful , and if I'm ever in trouble, I really hope they don't try to save me. Think I'm joking? Here's why you really shouldn't like my characters...

The Beast's Heart by Leife Shallcross 3 out of 5 Synopsis A sumptuously magical, brand new take on a tale as old as time—read the Beast's side of the story at long last. I am neither monster nor man—yet I am both. I am the Beast. The day I was cursed to this wretched existence was the day I was saved—although it did not feel so at the time. My redemption sprung from contemptible roots; I am not proud of what I did the day her father happened upon my crumbling, isolated chateau. But if loneliness breeds desperation then I was desperate indeed, and I did what I felt I must. My shameful behaviour was unjustly rewarded. My Isabeau. She opened my eyes, my mind and my heart; she taught me how to be human again. And now I might lose her forever. Lose yourself in this gorgeously rich and magical retelling of The Beauty and the Beast that finally lays bare the beast's heart.
