Sleeping Beauty and the Beast by Melissa Lemon

*I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review*

          This book, I thought, was genius! The combination of these two classic fairy tales is done in such a neat way. Where else can you find a girl as the beast?
          We start by meeting the witch who sets the whole thing in motion. From there, the story unfolds where we meet twin princes. One falls for the sleeping princess of Cray. The other, a savage who lived among the barbarians. For the sleeping princess to wake, the savage must be saved by the princess's brother. One problem... she had no brother. Can these girls be saved?
          A fun read with a great story, I would recommend to all looking for something sweet! Plus... who doesn't love a little romance?
