MY THOUGHTS:
The Beautiful and the Cursed was a reminder of why I adore YA books. Gargoyles in 1890's Paris ? Sign me up, dude!
Ingrid along with her mother and sister, Gabby are forced to move to Paris from London after an accident.
The sisters move into an abandoned abbey which Ingrid's mother plans to turn into an art gallery only to find that their brother, Grayson is missing when they arrive.
Morgan's writing paints a vivid picture of Paris and I couldn't help but fall in love with the city over and over again.
The story is narrated in multiple POVs and is woven together seamlessly to create an imaginative and unique story.
Don't let the girl on the cover fool you because the Waverly sisters are definitely not damsels in distress. The Waverly siblings, the swoon-worthy love interests and the supporting characters were well written and multidimensional and I found myself being very interested in each and every one of their stories. But I have to admit that it was Ingrid's and Luc's scenes that I was eagerly anticipating!
