This was partly due to the fact that Meagan’s writing is gorgeous and partly because the climax and resolution were so beautifully perfect for the characters. Things started out very slowly, but it was so worth the wait. I love what I did learn, though, and I particularly love how his past was used throughout the book.ģ. I wish I had gotten to learn more about his past. She reminds us of what we used to be.īeauty’s presence in his life helps him push the beast away, but it is a constant battle that I loved witnessing. “She moves like beauty, she whispers to us of wind and forest-and she tells us stories, such stories that we wake in the night, dreaming dreams of a life long past. Here’s a quote from one of his sections that I just loved, and it perfectly illustrates his beautiful voice and his split personality. Sometimes he’s more of one than the other. He refers to himself as “we” and is struggling every day to not be lost in this primal, violent creature that is trying to take over. He’s not just a man trapped in a beast’s body. At the end of every chapter there’s a piece of his mind-what he’s thinking and feeling. I was immediately captivated by Beast and his voice. She added some twists that kept me guessing!Ģ. It felt very much like a fairy tale, but one that Meagan has made her own. This story is super unique, while still remaining true to the elements I’ve come to love from Beauty and the Beast. I’m pretty picky with B&B story lines because I kind of have a favorite (*cough* A Court of Thorns and Roses *cough*), but Hunted by Meagan Spooner has definitely taken a spot next to ACOTAR on my list of favorite retellings! As always, my main points are bolded.
Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast? A world that can bring her ruin or salvation. But Yeva’s father’s misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he’d been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance.ĭeaf to her sisters’ protests, Yeva hunts this strange Beast back into his own territory-a cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of creatures that Yeva’s only heard about in fairy tales.
Out in the wilderness, there’s no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas…or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Though she grew up with the city’s highest aristocrats, far from her father’s old lodge, she knows that the forest holds secrets and that her father is the only hunter who’s ever come close to discovering them.
