A dark twist on Beauty & the Beast.

She can’t remember and he can’t forget…

I read this book again for 2 reasons, one due to the death of Rick Genest aka ZOMBIE BOY who was so unique. and inspired this book. and also because I have so many books that I wounder sometimes if I have read them and disliked them and now my tastes have changed, so they deserve a second read. I have to be honest I didn’t much like it the first time round but as a second time run through it was completely on a different level, whether its because I have matured I don’t know, or as I am a blogger and now articulating my feelings better I understand better and that makes more of a interesting read, I am going back through my books with a fresher approach so hopefully this won’t be the first of my re-reads that I change my mind over. =============================================== The image of Tristan is imprinted in my heart and brain the abuse that boy endured at the hands of the one who is supposed to love him was horrific. It was an unusual angle as it was the male who suffered the abuse yes there have been other books where this has taken place, but it’s Tristan’s reaction that makes this unique. So much so that the underlining message for me especially is that for you to understand as a reader is that to obliterate the boy looking back at him in the mirror was his abuser the cause of so much of his pain, he had to disfigure and disguise himself with the aid of Tattoo’s and that I can identify with. When you look into a mirror and see your abuser looking back at you it is a very hard thing to take and as such it hit home to me very hard. Abuse as a child shapes you into the adult you become and if you haven’t had a guiding light its hard to find the nice road, the good in people everyone you meet you assume is there to hurt you in some way for Tristan his guiding light was his Isa. At first you are confused as why he is so hateful to her, why it hurt so much for him that she didn’t recognise him,but as the story progressed you knew you were coming to an unbelievable ending. It was well written flowed with ease and a damn good read, my only niggle was the swiftness to the end, I would liked a little bit more of their story as they became them but other than that it was good. The abuse that they both suffered at the hands of their parents was awful. Yes she did suffer abuse at her parents hands and you need to read it to understand also at the hands of his disgusting father. I loved the book this time around, well worth the second read. Glenna Maynard had me from the first page and kept my attention till the last. Tristan stole my heart
