What is a king without a queen? Callia is chosen to be the next potential Bride of the king, a man many call a demon. Will she die like all the Brides before her? Can she survive in a place where nothing is what it seems, facing fear and friendship, love and betrayal? For the castle holds a secret only a Bride can discover.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

The Bride is my personal twist on the classic story of Beauty and the Beast. I've always loved that story, but often had a hard time with the Beast character. He was often portrayed as too animal-like for my taste. I wanted to create a different version of him, where he was still ugly in appearance, but more human. Fantasy/fairy tales are such fun to read and write!

I was born and raised in Utah. I'm the middle child of five. I'm married to a wonderful man. I love to write. I told myself that even if I never published a single thing, I would still write. There's something magical about creating people and places that I grow to love. My favorite genre to write (and read) is YA fantasy. My stories are clean and fresh, with no vulgarity, profanity, sex, or excessive violence. A good story doesn't need those things. People of any age should be able to pick up a book without having to worry about the content. That's my mission. To provide great stories with admirable characters in a way that stays true to my own values and standards.

Can't wait to read it with my daughter!

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2013

This is one of those books that when you start reading it you can't put it down. The flow of the writing is so easy that you soon find you've made it halfway through in just a few hours, and the story is so fun that you keep going. It carries aspects of beauty conquering the beast mixed with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde which gives this fairytale an edgy, mysterious twist. I don't want to give too much away because like any good mystery the fun is had while perusing the pages! There are so many fun twists and turns that what you thought was going to happen doesn't or at least not in the way you thought it would. I also love that it is clean enough that I can recommend it to my friends and have no qualms about sharing it with my daughter. Definitely one for the shelf.

Unique fairy tale retelling!

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2014

I just love fairy tale retellings, and this is a great one. This author knows how to tell a great story and keep you turning pages. Her style is distinct and fresh. The story itself is a unique take on Beauty and the Beast. While the original tale remains clear, the author's take on it is very original and intriguing. The very first paragraph had me wondering what would happen next, and the tenseness never let up. A definite must-read for all fans of fairy tales and retellings!

(I received a free digital version of this book in exchange for an honest review)

Difficult to put down

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2013

I read The Bride in two days as I found it difficult to put down. The story starts with an ominous choosing ceremony, where Callia, the main character is chosen to be the next bride for the King. Hundreds of brides have been taken to the King before but all of them have ended up dead so as a reader you are intrigued to find out what will happen to Callia. The story is in fact a twist on Beauty and the Beast but for adults. I am a big fan of paranormal romance and this book is somewhere between that genre and a fairytale, which makes it a compelling read.

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2013

The Bride is a twist on the classic tale Beauty and the Beast. I couldn't wait to see how the author turned this classic story into a modern day miracle. The characters were believable and I found myself falling in love with Zain. I was provided with a copy of The Bride for an honest review. I can honestly say that this was one of those books that I will remember forever. It's timeless. A classic. Addictive and haunting. I finished this book in one sitting. No matter how tired I felt or how my stomach rumbled from hunger, I just needed to reach the end.

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2013

I really enjoyed this book. It's a great summer read, with a fun combination of adventure, suspense, romance, and a little bit of magic to keep things interesting. Callia is chosen as the king's bride, but the mysterious king is known as a monster who murdered potential brides before her. Callia is a strong, believable character, and you root for her throughout the book to be the one bride to break the king's curse. The surly castle caretaker adds some unexpected humor when it's needed. As the action got going toward the end, I couldn't stop reading because I wanted to find out what happened!
