It has a lovely literary quality (Wendy D liked it too!), and is definitely dark and moody at times. <br /><br />HA. Thanks. Yes, I know all about tourists, living next to Salem = witch central. I used to work there too. <br /><br />YES this cover is gorgeous. <br /><br />Lauren @ Love is not a trianglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388832613855107816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-83628899854272153482012-09-13T16:52:38.866-04:002012-09-13T16:52:38.866-04:00So, I am NOT a lover of mermaid books. Which is wh...So, I am NOT a lover of mermaid books. Which is why I initially had no interest in Monstrous Beauty. But after reading your and Asheley's reviews and that fantastic author guest post on Ash's blog I now REALLY want to read this book. I *think* that maybe I can guess at some of the plot twists but I could be way off. Regardless, I'm going to have to check it out soon.<br /><br />Fave line in your review:<br /><br />"It’s characters face graveyards, sea monsters, ghosts, curses and even tourists."<br /><br />Even tourists!? That IS scary ;)<br /><br />And I definitely prefer the new cover to the old:) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026974627724672435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-14014517643327550782012-09-13T13:03:35.095-04:002012-09-13T13:03:35.095-04:00Yes.

Even though Syrenka is supposed to have light hair. <br /><br />Yes very complex story and one of those that you see so much MORE once you're done with it and can view the story arch as a whole. However, I also had a really hard time reviewing this book because I didn't want to give away too much, so I think I ended up saying nothing at all.

Especially since Elizabeth Fama loves it so much. <br /><br />Complex plot, right? I loved it. So much more than mermaids.
