On the mission Beauty and Riley encountered one another falling in love with one another uplifting Riley’s curse. The book ends happily with Beauty and Riley getting married, uplifting the curse and defeating the which. This book didn't work for me. Not in a horribly negative way-I have no hostile feelings at all toward it. I didn't mind reading it, and was diverted-all the things I like about the story as it exists in my mind (the bookish little sister who cares about important things, the Beast with a backstory-likable, even lovable, under the fur, the castle with books) are there.

    How did I feel about the book Unlikely Allies? I had lots of difficulty reading the book, from the sudden changes in scenes to the exhausting writing.
