Years of isolation had made Chrissy give up on being rescued from her prison in the creepy old house somewhere in the mangled dark woods. And if she can't be rescued, she certainly can't be saved - from the curse forcing her to wear a mask for the rest of her life that is. So when a handsome stranger seeks shelter during a winter storm, she has a hard time hoping he can break her curse, especially when she really isn't sure he exists all together. You see isolation can do horrible things to a person. Perhaps the most horrible? Make them lose their mind. A retelling of Beauty and the Beast like you've never read before.

It's senior year for Ever Steele and Drew Parker. Felhon High's most active, competitive and smartest student. They both have a lot of common interest like their love for sports and their high grades in class. But why do they despise each other so much? People with a lot of common interest always get along. Right? Maybe it's because Ever is a goody to shoes while Drew is a trouble maker and renowned playboy. Maybe because Ever chose to stay pure while Drew chose to hump anything that moves. Or maybe because they both want the slot on getting into Yale. So Drew made a game, one that will decide who is best and deserves the slot in Yale. Ever gladly take up the challenge and promise herself that she is in it to win it. But the question is, can Ever beat and outsmart the Bad Boy's game? This isn't your typical Bad boy falls for good girl. This is war between the Bad boy and Good girl.

Zarah would do anything for her pack. Even run from her mate, the brutal; violent; deadly; possessive Omega of Omegas. But how far will Zarah be willing to go to protect her pack? Especially when the truth starts to leak out...

"You're a monster," I spat out. He turned around, his green eyes glaring daggers at me. If looks could kill then I'm sure I would have been dead by now. "Well you're a fucking bitch and you can't deny it. You know why, because you're in love with a monster." *.*. Daniel Collins was a monster and everyone knew that. Meeting him would be everyone's nightmare. He was cruel, heartless and just...evil. He murdered like it was an everyday chore and never once did he show an emotion other than hatred. Rosalynn Richards was an impetuous seventeen year old werewolf who dreamt of finding her mate just like any other. Unfortunately, fate can't help but pair them together. Will Rose be able to get her happy ending? Will she be able To Love a Monster?

Schuyler believes that she knows the world she is in, and she believes she is in control but when she learns the truth, she is far from in control. With blonde hair, blue eyes and a smile so pure that one would believe she could do no wrong, innocence dripped from her skin and that was the way that Schuyler preferred it. In reality, she was far from innocent, and even further from pure but that was not what she wanted her prey to think. She needed her innocent facade, and her pure smelling blood in order to trap the wolves in her web, and once trapped the only escape was death. This is not your typical Red Riding Hood story, where Red allowed others to kill the wolves, and where she was too innocent to do anything. No, this is a gruesome, horrific retelling where blood is the main theme and deception follows closely behind.

If the Purgatory or Alpha Beckett thought I would go down without a fight, they thought wrong.
