Beauty’s Curse is a fairytale that spans centuries of bondage, shown through the intertwined lives of four people. Esmeralda, Victor, Nicholas and Adelaide are living under a curse, some of their own making, some by the cruelty of others, and a curse once cast cannot be broken. For years they have toiled under their prospective curses, each in their own way, trying to live with the burdens and troubles. Then along comes Hope, who proves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and is better judged by what in the heart of a person. True love can break the chains that bind.

It is easy to imagine hearing this as an oral tale told by a talented storyteller rather than reading words on a page. The book has that sort of ‘feel’ to it.This is an original fairy tale, not one derived from any of the old standards. It does, however, have some traditional elements. How could it not? ‘Love conquers all’ and ‘beauty is more than skin deep’ are two main themes. And although it’s a novel rather than a short fable, it is story with a message – a message of the good kind. This book is also something that parents can let children read without worrying about sex, foul language, and gratuitous violence.
The first half has more narrative and less dialogue/action than I like, but that’s a matter of my personal preference rather than criticism. On the whole it’s a story with some real appeal. According to Amazon’s scale, four stars equates to “I liked it,” and I liked it.
I don’t give spoilers, but given the nature of the story, I don’t think it will surprise readers that they all do indeed live happily ever after.

Beauty Curse Jodi A Woody 9781484933985 Books Reviews
This book reminded me of Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, with the witch, the curse, and all the trouble it all caused. But this book is not for children. There are a few mild curse words, drinking wine, and mentions of sex. Nothing real offensive, but still not what I would normally see in Christian fiction.
The storyline is good and the moral of the story is excellent. Beauty on the outside can be a curse to people who worship it and let it control their lives. People who are not beautiful on the outside can be beautiful on the inside, yet most people will not give them the chance to shine.
A very wealthy couple who have just about everything money can buy are not attractive on the outside and that desire of wanting to be beautiful on the outside has made them very ugly inside. They desire a child, but have not been able to conceive and they heard of a witch that can cast all kinds of spells. First they ask for beauty and it came with a price that was not what they expected. Then they returned to the witch and asked for help and ended up with a curse. The witch was one that had been hurt when she was younger and she didn't have any love to share.
I don't want to go into any details, because I like to go into a book with as little previous knowledge as possible so I can be totally taken in without any pre-conceived notions. This book shows that we are all born with a curse, the curse of sin, and the only way out is to except perfect love. This book does not say it in these words, but Jesus Christ is perfect love and He is our answer. If you read the last page of the book, the author describes this love of Christ. She gives a verse that sums it all up, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 4 18-19 NKJV

I got this book from the author in exchange for an honest review..
WOW!!!! holy freaking 5 stars!!!!!this book made me cry... i can't believe it. there was so much heart in this book. This book is like beauty and the beast, but in its own way...
a beautiful woman with a master full of hate. One love ruined, and another not returned. Jealous and rage sent a curse and turned ones beauty into a monster..... until one day she got her revenge, but still lived with the curse, and the lost love who can break it.
Then over the years this woman named Adelaide lived in the woods helping others for a price. She used her magic and didn't care that people thought of her as a witch. There was a couple who had everything. Money, power, you name it. the one thing they didn't have was beauty. The wife wanted it more than anything. the husband would do anything to please his wife. so Adelaide gave them a bag to put under their pillow to make them beautiful. It only worked on the husband. the wife was so made she barged right into the witch's place and demanded a new potion that would last forever. Being the witch that she was Adelaide said in return she wanted their first born child when he turned a year old.
the husband couldn't part with his son. he wanted to deal with whatever the witch was going to do to them. The wife wanted her beauty more then the son. So every year the witch would bring the son over to the mansion to visit. He would never know who is parents are. She made it seem like it was a chore he had to run. If any of the parents where to talk to him, he would die. The husband hated his wife for this...
The little boy is Nicholas. Adelaide did everything she could for the boy. food, clothes, and anything he ever wanted. she wasn't good on the love department but figured he would still care for her. She made him promise to never leave her. of course over the years he promised to never leave. That was until he turned into a teenager. He finally realized that Adelaide wasn't his mother and that she lied. He ran away and said he would Kill Adelaide. She was so angry she put a curse on him. that he would never love
Nicholas lived his life in the city and made a huge name for himself. He has all the money he ever wanted. He could never fall in love. the curse made him a womanizer and left him always wanting more. So in return he turned into a hateful man who can only see what was on the outside.
The husband left his wife and saw the witch. he begged to see his son and she felt so bad that she told him she put a counter to the curse. if he could see what was on the inside and not the out and learn to love and trust the spell would be broken. The husband found his son and watched from afar. He adopted a daughter who was in a child's home. She was burned very bad and was being picked on. He was lonely and needed someone to love. He adopted her. He told her all about her brother and the curse and how they were going to fix it.
This girl's name was hope. She graduated college with a 4.0 and got hired to work for Nicholas. She was determined to have him love her. He on the other hand couldn't look past the scares and it made him sick. hope then made him an offer that he couldn't refuse.
will Nicholas see past hope's scares and fix his curse...or will he drive her away like all the other woman and hurt her, leaving him lonely and more of a monster than ever??
