Alex Flinn is usually such a fun author who creates interesting characters. :) <br /><br />Hey, is the company you got this through strictly e-books? Like NetGalley? If so - and if you wouldn't mind one more question: Do you know any programs that provide physical copies of books from places like this (i.e., teen novels/harper teen, etc.)?Rissihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378400717440822186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3349212013950544864.post-79317849463374943492013-03-04T12:38:56.068+00:002013-03-04T12:38:56.068+00:00Aw, great review :) I think it seems like a great ...Aw, great review :) I think it seems like a great book. I still don't know how I feel about insta-love. I guess I love it, if the writing is good :) (Meaning I love it if I love the rest of the book.) I'm glad you enjoyed this book, for the most part ;p I do love a good mystery.

I am glad to hear that it incorporates a dark and creepy atmosphere and that it is well written. I don't think the insta love will bother me because it makes sense to the story. Thanks for the insight!

This one isn't even on my radar. Rapunzel may be just one of those characters that I'll be more than interested to read about. Too bad about the instant love, though.

Except for Tangled, I've never read or watched anything Rapunzel related. Your review made it sound interesting (except for the insta-love, because it gave me the chills :D). And I dig that there is mystery!

Despite not falling in love with Beastly myself, I've always wanted to try more from this author. Hopefully I won't be too annoyed with the instalove either.

Most of the times it's just part of the story, so when it pops up, I don't really mind :) I can't wait to read this story and I am so happy I got a copy from Edelweiss. You got to love HarperCollins <3<br /><br />The mystery sound really good! I have had good experience with her other retellings, so I'm excited.
