Wolf’s Beautiful Beast (The Untold Stories Book 3) by Suzanna Lynn – Review by Sherry Sharpnack

Wolf's Beautiful Beast (The Untold Stories, #3)Wolf’s Beautiful Beast by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Wolf’s Beautiful Beast” is Book #3 in the “The Untold Stories” series of “fractured” fairy tales. In Book #1, we learned how Capt. Jameson Shaw became Captain Hook; in Book #2, we learned that Red Riding Hood is NOT a victim of the Big Bad Wolf; in Book #3, we get a fantastic twist on the tale of Beauty and the Beast.
We are reunited w/ Red, Rapunzel, and Lycus the white wolf shapeshifter (THE Big Bad Wolf??) from Book #2. They are on their way to Oz when they get waylaid in a land ruled by King Garrart and his Queen, Cora. They had a daughter, Arabella, who disappeared five years earlier, kidnapped by a fearsome beast whom none can gainsay, according to the king anyway. Our three heroes get thrown into prison, and Lycus is only released upon promising to rescue the long-lost princess from the fearsome beast. Lycus accompanies General Drax and his men to the abandoned, crumbling castle where Arabella is held captive, the entire place guarded by magical entwining red roses. Drax and his men leave Lycus for dead when he tumbles down the stairs into the beast’s clutches.
Or does he? The twists in this “fractured” fairy tale keep coming, and it’s just a thrill ride from here on out, w/ one revelation after another setting this fairy tale on its ear. As much as I enjoyed “Red’s Tangled Tale,” this one is just an entertaining thrill ride until the end. 4.6 stars rounds up to 5 stars!
