Bitterburn

Gothic Fairytales, Book 1

Amarrah Brewer is desperate and grief-stricken.

For ages, the town of Bitterburn has sent tribute to the Keep at the End of the World, but a harsh winter leaves them unable to pay the toll that keeps the Beast at bay. Amarrah volunteers to brave what no one has before - to end the threat or die trying.

The Beast of Bitterburn has lost all hope.

One way or another, Njål has been a prisoner for his entire life. Monstrous evil has left him trapped and lonely, and he believes that will never change. There is only darkness in his endless exile, never light. Never warmth. Until she arrives.

It's a tale as old as time...where Beauty goes to confront the Beast and falls in love, instead.

Unique take on retelling beauty and beast

I liked how the female lead actually listened to the male leads wishes in regards to areas he didn’t want her to go.
The narrator wasn’t my favorite but that’s neither here nor there.
In general a good listen.
