The Beast Is an Animal | 
The Beast Is an Animal is an eerie, compelling, wholly original tale of far-flung villages, dark woods, and creatures that hunt in the night. It's also a deeply human story about a girl finding her way in a world that is ugly and beautiful, good and bad—and discovering the same within herself.

Way back in the beginning, there were two sisters. They were born minutes apart, each with a velvet coat of black hair on the top of her perfect head. The mother had labored for two full days, and it was a miracle she survived.

pickGot my 5th and final book completed just at the end of the 24-hour readathon. Stayed up for the full 24 hours! Nice to end with a little YA horror. It was less traumatizing than I think ending with the Stand would have been. While this was a quick and enjoyable read it was definitely missing better descriptions and additional character/plot development. @DeweysReadathon #readathon #wrapitup
so-soI read this because I loved the cover, which is a common occurrence for me. 😀
It's a dark tale about a girl destined to save her village from the soul eaters who threaten it. I thought overall the story was just okay. The build-up of the beast was far better than learning what the beast actually was though.

so-soFirst of all, beautiful cover (just putting that out there). Second of all, I'm not a huge fan of the synopsis on the inside cover. I don't know if it's just me (which it very well could be), but it sounded like a beauty and the Beast retelling when I read it... And this book was pretty far from it. This wasn't a bad book, just not my cup of tea. The double F's annoyed me (forest+this book=fforest) like why?
But not a bad book, just a so-so.
so-soI enjoyed listening to the audiobook version of this book. I actually thought it was based on a real Welsh fairytale it was so deep & dark, but according to the author‘s website, it was completely original. This is a so-so right on the verge of a pick. Good, not great, and enjoyable ⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soI really liked the book. But I think the title is so stupid!!! It actually is not a beauty and the beast retelling, as I deducted from the title.
Also, why was "forest" written "fforest" the whole time.... It was only annoying, not special...
pickI was immediately drawn to this book because of the title and cover. Both so beautiful. A delightful story with some fairy tale vibes and reminiscent for me of red riding hood! There were one or two parts where it lagged a wee bit for me and I was craving more action, but overall well paced. I wanted a bit more mythos and backstory to world. But definitely a great read!
Such a beautiful opener! I am so excited for this book!

When only the children are spared in Alys‘s village by the soul eaters, they‘re sent to a neighboring village to live. When danger looms over the neighboring village its blamed on the children who are put in charge of keeping watch at night. They care not for the welfare of the children, so long as they remain safe. #PetSemetary (going off lyrics) #OctoberXFiles
There‘s still time to join in! http://litsy.com/p/eUtoT09EU3B1
pickFirst book of my #yearofmarvellousreading done and WHAT a book. It‘s an unbelievably creepy and atmospheric exploration of the way women have been hated and feared and the way that religious oppression and mob mentalities can be twisted against them. Alys is a fantastic main character and I was really rooting for her to win out despite everything being against her. Can not recommend enough!
My Year of Marvellous Reading
So I‘ve not been around here much this last year. I‘ve just started a Masters course and you might think the last thing I need is a new project. But now that I‘m doing a lot of more serious reading for uni I want to be able to read things that grab me straight away, and I want to document it here! Here‘s to a #yearofmarvellousreading and FINALLY getting to some of my most anticipated books.
pickWell, this was.... odd. Very eventful and unique. Definitely creepy. I was not overly pleased by the hasty, somewhat questionable ending. (Did it make sense? I don't know.) Overall a "pick."
Wow! I hope the intensity continues after the first chapter!!

so-soThis book just wasn't for me. The writing style felt really simple to me and I'm not a huge fan of the world the author build. There were a few things that drove me crazy (such as the “fforest“ written with double “f“) but overall the book was ok and I can see how others might really enjoy it.
so-soStarted this while out babysitting because it was the easiest to carry...can‘t figure out if I like the style yet...now I‘m home and switching back to The Heaven Tree because I know I like that one!
Hr 12 #24of48 fav 3 “The angel, eternally alighting with arched wings and delicate, stretched feet, spread his palms outwards towards the radiance, and bowed in ceremonious humility the youthful, narrow head, with its long gold hair still erect and quivering from his flight.” The Heaven Tree
“A shaft of dawn light fell on the crack in the corner of the ceiling.” Victoria
“Way back in the beginning, there were two sisters.” The Beast is an Animal
There it is again but this time in a name! So this seems to have more concept than just misspelling things.
This is how “forest“ is written in the entire book (so far) and it's driving me crazy. Why would anyone do this?!?

pickFrom the first page to the very last, I was at the edge of my seat dying for what happened next. I NEEDED to know.
It was creepy, wonderful, a blend of the village meets soul-sucking-vampires meets dryads meets crazy puritans and I loved every single minute of it.
4.5 ⭐️

I have finished THE BEAST IS AN ANIMAL by Peternelle Van Arsdale.
This book was very odd but interesting. The story flows and connects well. The main character weren't annoying in any way. It has a little bit of romance but it doesn't focus on it to much on. I enjoyed the bit of romance. It's like it's own fairy tale.
I honestly enjoyed it! It wasn't at all what I guessed or expected. [??? out of 5] #firstreadoftheyear
Okay~ Blurb time!
I'm suprised at how everything is different that what I expected. Granted I knew nothing, and I mean N-O-T-H-I-N-G about the story or where it was coming from. I liked the title and the cover. I assumed fairytale and romance and what I'm getting is fairytale, mystery and supernatural. I love it so far. It's showing some romance but not focusing fully on it like other books. #captivated #thebeastisananimal #peternellevanarsdale

Well, the beast is real. In the beginning it felt as if it were a demon but not just any being. The way the people talk about the Beast it feels like he's Satan/Lucifer. I believed him to be a cursed a being or just the fear of going out to the unknown, but it is real. I can quite picture him completely but just because The Beast is an Animal doesn't mean The Beast is evil. So far The People are Monsters.
