Books Read in 2023 (3,830) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() A modern reverse adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, this NA urban fantasy fairy tale mixes pieces of classic literature with contemporary musician characters. It's part of a series, but the novel can be read as a stand-alone. I've read three of the first four works so far and I think this one is my favorite. There are still some sections that could be better organized, but overall if you enjoy NA fairy tale interpretations and are looking for a quick and easy read, give this book a try.

Back at Hotel Caliwood, Benedict encounters, Beast, a mysterious, harpy poetess who's taken up residence in the abandoned library. Following a prickly beginning, the two forge a musical partnership that promises to save the band. To his surprise, Benedict forms an attachment to Beast which blossoms into unexpected affection. Unbeknownst to Benedict, any possibility of a future for the unconventional pair is tainted by the curse slapped on Beast by a jealous enchantress. Will help from the ghosts of Hotel Caliwood and Beast's beautiful lyrics allow Benedict to let go of his past and embrace this new love, or will he turn away, dooming Beast to remain a harpy forever?

The story revolves around Benedict Boyd and Beatrice Sharpe, the former lead singers of the renowned rock band B & B + 3, who made headlines with their dramatic breakup at Hotel Caliwood, culminating in Beatrice taking an impromptu dip in the hotel's pool and ruining an expensive designer dress. With Beatrice vanishing from the public eye, the band is left without a lyricist, and Benedict's musical genius can't save them without the missing words.
As the band plans to resurrect their reputation by recording a long-awaited album, Benedict is desperate for lyrics. This is where the story takes an intriguing turn as he encounters "Beast," a mysterious and enigmatic harpy poetess who has found refuge in the hotel's abandoned library. Their initial interactions are anything but smooth, but as they collaborate on music, a deep connection starts to form between them, evolving into an unexpected affection.
What makes "Crimson Melodies" truly interesting is not just the looming curse placed upon Beast by a jealous enchantress. The prospect of a future together is tainted, and the narrative is enriched by the involvement of the ghosts inhabiting Hotel Caliwood. These spectral characters, together with Beast's beautiful lyrics, add depth and charm to the story. The question of whether Benedict can let go of his past and fully embrace this newfound love becomes the central emotional arc of the plot, while the curse adds a layer of tension and urgency.
Leslie O'Sullivan crafts a compelling narrative filled with vivid characters and an imaginative reimagining of a beloved fairy tale. "Crimson Melodies" is a delightful and enchanting romance that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. Whether you're a fan of gender-swap stories, paranormal romance, or rockstar settings, this book offers a unique and captivating blend of all these elements, making it a must-read for anyone looking for a fresh take on a timeless tale.
