Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay
In the beginning was the darkness, and in the darkness was a girl, and in the girl was a secret...In the domed city of Yuan, the blind Princess Isra, a Smooth Skin, is raised to be a human sacrifice whose death will ensure her city’s vitality. In the desert outside Yuan, Gem, a mutant beast, fights to save his people, the Monstrous, from starvation. Neither dreams that together, they could return balance to both their worlds.Isra wants to help the city’s Banished people, second-class citizens despised for possessing Monstrous traits. But after she enlists the aid of her prisoner, Gem, who has been captured while trying to steal Yuan’s enchanted roses, she begins to care for him, and to question everything she has been brought up to believe.As secrets are revealed and Isra’s sight, which vanished during her childhood, returned, Isra will have to choose between duty to her people and the beast she has come to love.In the beginning was the darkness, and in the darkness was a girl, and in the girl was a secret...In the domed city of Yuan, the blind Princess Isra, a Smooth Skin, is raised to be a human sacrifice whose death will ensure her city’s vitality.

Top Ten is an original feature/weekly meme created here at
The Broke and the Bookish that features a great bookish top ten every week.
My Top Ten Fantasy Books .... Really only Ten?
Unearthly looks so good. I love that cover. I was a little scared to read it because Angel books all sound the same to me... but this one actually does sound like it's unique now that I take a good look at the synopsis. I think I really do want to read it. I've heard good things about My Name is Rapunzel too.

EEK!! The Named!!! I LOOOVED that trilogy! I remember reading it when it was first published and was going nuts over the wait for The Key! Little did I know that Marianne had been sick at the time which cause me even more heartache! But so glad that it did get wrapped up and oh wow did I cry at the end of that one!
ReplyDeleteLoved Cruel Beauty and Firelight too! Unearthly was really good and so was Wicked Lovely! Love these picks!
Oh and yes, great teaser! Still have this in my TBR mountain and need to read it! Will look forward to your review!
Here's my Tuesday post
Have a GREAT day!
