Grim Lovelies

Description

After their mistress is murdered, Anouk and the other “beasties” are left with a ticking curse: only three days remain before their enchantment breaks and they are forced back into animal form. Desperate to stay human, they navigate the dangerous politics of Paris’s Haute—an elite system of magic handlers that controls who gets to be “civilized” and who is kept as property. As Anouk uncovers what really happened, she must decide whether survival means obeying the hierarchy or challenging the rules that define personhood. Blending dark fairy-tale atmosphere with sharp social commentary, this novel delivers a fast, suspenseful journey through identity, power, and the cost of freedom.
