Alex Flinn

Una bestia. No soy exactamente un lobo, ni un oso, ni un gorila, ni un perro, sino una criatura nueva y horrible que camina erguida. Una criatura con colmillos y garras y con pelo en todos los poros de mi cuerpo. Soy un monstruo. ¿Crees que esto es un cuento de hadas? Para nada. Sucede en Nueva York y sucede ahora. No es una deformidad, ni tampoco una enfermedad. Y me quedaré así -condenado- a menos que pueda deshacer el hechizo. Sí, el hechizo que me lanzó la bruja con la que iba a clase de inglés. ¿Por qué me convirtió en una bestia que se oculta durante el día y sale a merodear por las noches? Te lo contaré. Te contaré cómo solía ser Kyle Kingsbury, el chico que te gustaría ser, con dinero, el físico perfecto y la vida perfecta. Y después te contaré cómo me convertí en la perfecta... Bestia.

Sóc una bèstia. Una bèstia. No bén bé un llop, ni un goril·la, ni un gos, sinó una criatura nova i horrible que camina dreta i que gairebé és humana. Gairebé. Creus que és un conte de fades? Doncs no

A modern retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" from the point of view of the Beast, a vain Manhattan private school student who is turned into a monster and must find true love before he can return to

Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didn't. I go to a new school now—one where no one knows that I should have graduated long ago. I'm not still here because I'm stupid; I just don't age. You see, I'm immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of years—except for when to take my powers and butt out. I want to help, but things just go awry in ways I could never predict. Like when I tried to free some children from a gingerbread house and ended up being hanged. After I came back from the dead (immortal, remember?), I tried to play matchmaker for a French prince and ended up banished from France forever. And that little mermaid I found in the Titanic lifeboat? I don't even want to think about it. Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldn't get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core. I think I have just the thing to fix that girl—and it isn't an enchanted pumpkin. Although you never know what will happen when I start . . . bewitching.

Nick es uno de los pocos escogidos de su instituto: inteligente, popular y rico. Sin embargo, tras esa apariencia de vida envidiable, se esconde un infierno: la relación con su padre.Cuando Nick conoce a Caitlin, está convencido de que ella es la solución

Im not your average hero. I actually wasnt your average anything. Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all.It all started with a curse. And a frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission.There wasnt a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale Ive ever heard. Before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Everglades. Dont believe me? I didnt believe it either. But youll see. Because I knew it all was true, the second I got cloaked.
