Undergrounder

Not your grandmother’s Beauty and the Beast

Drowned by men. Saved by a monster.

The last place Alexandra Bailey expects her routine life of domestic journalism to lead is being sucked into icy floodwaters below New York City with a knife in her ribs. Headlines like this happen to other people, but it’s real, and she knows she’s dead. Which makes the circumstances of her survival as impossible as the woman who drags her from the water.

Saved but hardly safe, Alex wakes in the Underground, a world of misfits and monsters thriving below the streets. It’s a journalism goldmine. One Alex can’t resist digging into after learning her beastly savior is Leanna Farrow, adopted daughter of an infamous and “presumed dead” scientist. But Alex’s curiosity, coupled with her rapidly developing feelings for Leanna, put both women in danger when Alex’s inquiries pique the interest of a powerful family with bloody secrets connected to the Underground.

If Alex wants to unravel the secrets of the world below she’ll have to walk the razor’s edge, but some mysteries are better left buried.

From the very beginning this book grabbed a hold of me and didn’t let go. Action mixed with sweet moments and an air of mystery.

When fantasy meshes together so well with reality, it’s impossible to tell if what you’re reading is actually real.

This book was just fantastic. I’m a total novice to fairy tale retellings, so I can’t say whether it’s common they be gritty, shocking, and modern. But this one was!
