Seventeen-year-old Anouk envies the human world, where people known as
Pretties lavish themselves in fast cars, high fashion, and have the
freedom to fall in love. But Anouk can never have those things, because
she is not really human. Enchanted from animal to human girl and
forbidden to venture beyond her familiar Parisian prison, Anouk is a
Beastie: destined for a life surrounded by dust bunnies and cinders
serving Mada Vittora, the evil witch who spelled her into existence.
That is, until one day she finds her mistress murdered in a pool of
blood--and Anouk is accused of the crime.
Now, the world she always dreamed of is rife with danger. Pursued
through Paris by the underground magical society known as the Haute,
Anouk and her fellow Beasties only have three days to find the real
killer before the spell keeping them human fades away. If they fail,
they will lose the only lives they've ever known...but if they succeed,
they could be more powerful than anyone ever bargained for.
From New York Times bestselling author Megan Shepherd, Grim Lovelies
is the glittering first book in a new, epic YA fantasy series. Prepare
to be spellbound by the world of Grim Lovelies, where secrets have been
long buried, friends can become enemies, and everything--especially
humanity--comes at a price.
