The ending, however, does her character a lot of justice. Anouk’s growth as a protagonist is interesting yet predictable. As she embarks on the dangerous task to stay human forever, Anouk discovers things along the way that change what she’d known about her own abilities and potential as a beastie. One of them is a bewitched plant.Īnouk, one of the beasties, has never stepped out of the townhouse where she serves the witch, Mada Vittora. The villains fell a little flat to me, and overall there were very few secondary characters (Tennypenny, Toblerone and Cricket) who I felt were round and made sense as a whole. I enjoyed the magic system and thought it made sense. In the world of GRIM LOVELIES, the Haute are the royalty in the world of magic, while the Pretties are humans. There is also the question of who murdered the witch the manner of death has painted them as the main suspects. Set in Paris, it follows a group of beasties – animals turned into human form by witches – who are on a literal race against time the witch who created them has been murdered, leaving them with only three days to find another witch to carry on the magic that led to their creation. GRIM LOVELIES, published October 2nd by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Teen, is a fairytale retelling written as an urban fantasy.
