Layla has done it again! Withering Hope made me swoon, and cry, and then swoon some more. Her characters are flawless and she just has this ability to draw you in and make you love them. This story had fear, romance, heartbreak, and joy all wrapped into a nice book sized package. This is a spoiler-free review.

More like impressions of what I think of a book. I give this book a star for one thing. I was a huge fan of Beauty and The Beast growing up, like literally, that movie was life for me back then, so naturally I love the concept of modernizing the story.
