Narrative Supposing Books Kill Me Softly (Beau Rivage #1)
>Mirabelle's past is shrouded in secrecy, from her parents' tragic deaths to her guardians' half-truths about why she can't return to her birthplace, Beau Rivage. Desperate to see the town, Mira runs away a week before her sixteenth birthday—and discovers a world she never could have imagined. In Beau Rivage, nothing is what it seems—the strangely pale girl with a morbid interest in apples, the obnoxious playboy who's a beast to everyone he meets, and the chivalrous guy who has a thing for damsels in distress. Here, fairy tales come to life, curses are awakened, and ancient stories are played out again and again. But fairy tales aren't pretty things, and they don't always end in happily ever after. Mira has a role to play, a fairy tale destiny to embrace or resist. As she struggles to take control of her fate, Mira is drawn into the lives of two brothers with fairy tale curses of their own . . . brothers who share a dark secret. And she'll find that love, just like fairy tales, can have sharp edges and hidden thorns.Define Books Toward Kill Me Softly (Beau Rivage #1)

Yuck. Here's a link to the full review where Disney villains talk about this foul book:My blogBooklikesLadies, gentlemen and undecided, please welcome the book that have caused the birth of my "Burn-the-fucking-book" shelf.My reason why this book didn't work for me. 1. All characters are idiots.2. The heroine doesn't act like her age. Or she acts like her age but is still lacking the wisdom to do things that are not stupid.3. Moronic scenes in the book that makes me want to slap someone.4. The blurred lines between perversion and infatuation.5. Insta-fucking-love.The characters act all
None of the girls was asleep, drugged, playing, waiting.They were dead.They had been killed here.She wanted to be horrified. It seemed sick to be jealous, too, but she was. It hurt to know hed loved so many other girls; that she was not special, not unique. Mira Lively is 15 years old. Upon the occasion of her birth, the evil fairy cursed her to be doomed by incomprehensible stupidity.I'm just partially kidding.This book exemplifies almost everything that is wrong with YA literature.1. A love
Nearly sixteen and sheltered for much of her life by two overprotective guardians, Mirabelle Lively decides to take destiny into her own hands by running away from home and to Beau Rivage, the site of her parents' deaths...and the place she has been strictly forbidden never to go. When Mirabelle arrives in Beau Rivage, she catches the attention of two brothers -- one prickly and hostile, the other kind and welcoming -- and finds herself caught up in the strange workings of a place she believes
This was a fantastic book and I loved every minute of it. Retellings are my thing and this definitely done me justice.
Mira, Mira, on the wall, who's the smartest one of all? Well, honey, certainly not you. Good grief. I can't even... argh. So, Mira is a sheltered 15 year old (pay attention to the age, it'll come in later) orphan girl (raised by godmothers.... wait, you don't suppose they could be fairy godmothers, do you?????) who decides to go off searching for her parents' graves. She goes about this rather cleverly, to be honest, but this is about as smart as she ever gets. Isn't it sad when children's
Read This Review And More Like It On My Blog!4.5 out of 5 stars. I loved this! It was unexpectedly charming and clever and just plain fun even when (especially?) at its most twisted. Kill Me Softly is a wholly engrossing and enjoyable read. This is one of those surprising books that went above and beyond my expectations; in fact, I passed this over a couple times on NetGalley because it seemed so been there, done that at first glance and I've been trying to control the amount of requests I
