Creeping Beauty

What did I just read??? Seriously, this book now has me questioning every fairytale and every retelling I've ever read, I need to go back and think about the why behind all of them.

We've all heard the story of Sleeping Beauty, locked in sleep until true love's kiss can wake her, but what about what's going on inside of that dream state? What is happening inside of her mind while the King and Queen are doing everything in their power to wake her?

In Creeping Beauty we get the story of the "dream" what happens to Bitsy, what she has to fight to get back to her world, and the pain and betrayal that can come with getting what you think you want in either of the worlds she's been part of. 

With lush and vivid landscapes, characters that will thrill one moment and anger the next, and a story that gives new life to a favorite childhood story.

I will say the way multiple tales and lore were woven together had me mesmerized at points, completely engrossed in this tale of Bitsy and what will happen to her and all those around her.

This book checked all of my boxes, we had the beautiful castle, the princess that grows into the woman she's supposed to be, and just enough magic and mayhem to make this unique and spellbinding.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books for providing an advance copy of this E-Book, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
