A dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast Annabelle Novacek has never much liked how people view her. She was a beautiful rose to be admired and protected. But she has always felt lanky and awkward; it was her two older sisters that were perfect. When her father comes home with news of a wealthy nobleman desiring her hand, the family are thrilled and she is whisked off to a small town outside of Paris. The journey doesn't go as anticipated and their carriage is attacked. Annabelle only just escapes with her life but she is flung out to desperately search for any sign of life. The local nobleman takes her in, but the longer she stays the more she hears about the dark secrets the village holds; a ravage beast that roams the forest and lies in wait for its next victim. Beauty fades but true kindness lasts an eternity. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cover by @Forcade

When nineteen-year-old Vanessa Hunter falls to her death, she realizes her life as she knows it, is over. But when Death strikes a bargain with her in exchange for her immortal soul, she takes the ultimate gamble and becomes a Death Angel: gifted with the powers of Death and responsible for finding and harvesting lost souls on earth. Now Vanessa has to perform Death's dirty deeds, forced to deal with all sorts of unimaginable evils: Vampires, Demons from Hell, and Hedge Fund Managers. Not to mention this girl Rina, with special powers, who is absolutely obsessed with taking down the new Death Angel. On top of all that, Vanessa still has to solve the riddle to her murder; a riddle that points back to her fiance, Daniel Ashcroft. Thrust into this strange new world, Vanessa finds her emotions in turmoil. She still loves Daniel with all her heart, but now finds herself strangely drawn to Death; a being who is at once mysterious, infuriating, and madly attractive. But things are not at all what they seem, and there are many things that Vanessa needs to uncover, unsettling things about her former life, her family's money, and Death, her newfound "savior" who doesn't always seem to be on her side. Can Vanessa tell friend from foe, and solve the riddle of her murder to find out if the man she's loved all along, was truly her lover? Or her greatest enemy? Copyright © 2015 Michael Limjoco

"What is beautiful anyways? Is it the color of someone's skin or eyes? Their height? The way they dress? What is it?" I asked, not really expecting an answer. "I think beautiful is someone who looks past the exterior and gives people a chance. Someone who tries to understand another. An unselfish being. Someone who doesn't see with their eyes but their heart," he replied playing with the bracelet around his wrist, "That truly is a beautiful thing." Celeste has been called beautiful all of her life. She is convinced that guys only want to go out with her because that's all they say they like about her. She's beautiful. To graduate Celeste needs thirty-five hours of community service. She decides to answer an ad in the paper for a temporary aide for a blind teenager, Seamoore. With their new found accidental friendship, Seamoore opens Celeste's eyes that seeing isn't just with your eyes. © Somethingtrue 2013. All rights reserved.
