Samantha and her family are in danger from the evil ghost
Nagi. The four travel in separate directions to escape Nagi
and his ghostling children. Samantha, who is a skinwalker
and can turn into a bear, and a seer who can send evil
ghosts away, is supposed to be going to find a friend of her
fathers, Bess. Instead she finds herself with Bess's son
Alon. Though beautiful, Alon is not what he seems and has
many secrets. Samantha realizes Alon can both help and
protect her, and with a war between Nagi and her people
inevitable, she could use a little of both. As Alon and
Samantha try to fight for what they believe is right, they
find themselves falling in love. When Samantha discovers
Alon's secrets will her love be enough to keep them
together, or will Alon's secrets tear them apart?
Jenna Kernan has taken Native American legends, and the
classic folktale, Beauty and the Beast, to create a
mysterious paranormal romance. Both the plot and setting are
unique, yet the overall story is a basic one: a beautiful
woman meets an ugly, yet caring beast. Samantha is a
relatable character, and her challenges are ones most people
face. She wants to make her family proud, and do what she
thinks is best even if it leads to trouble. Alon is a
typical "beast." He is a monster who is trying to be good,
and finds himself lacking, and unworthy of the "beauty's"
love.
The twists and the ultimate battle kept BEAUTY'S BEAST a
page - turner. The romance between Alon and Samantha is both
sultry and tender, and doesn't take away from the
excitement. BEAUTY'S BEAST is a well - written and exciting
adventure.
Samantha Proud doesn't think her life could get any more
complicated—or tragic. Since she dared to save a human boy
from evil spirits, Nagi, the Ruler of Ghosts, has been
actively stalking her family. Still, she never expected
well-meaning Thunderbirds to scatter them to the four
winds, dumping her at the feet of Alon Garza, a gorgeous
Halfling, for safekeeping.
Alon has never met anyone like the sensual shifter who has
just been literally dropped into his woods. Because of who
he is, he never wanted to be with a woman for more than one
night. Now, to keep Samantha safe, his only choice is to
claim her. But will his desire expose the dark truth he's
been fighting for so long?
