Sixteen-year-old Mya Jones is cursed.
She is, hands down, the most beautiful creature on earth. But beauty can wound, and Mya finds herself reviled and shunned by her peers. If there is even a chance that she could start over, Mya longs to take it, no matter the risks.
So when the strange Mr. Merk offers her a new life away from home, Mya is hesitant but hopeful. Only she didn’t count on the mysterious Ross, or her feelings for him.
BEAUTIFUL CURSE is a contemporary retelling of the myth of Psyche and Cupid.
“A fun and fresh twist on a well-loved story! The Cupid and Psyche romance is my favorite myth and McConnel’s whimsical take did not disappoint. An absolute delight, I loved every moment of this love story and instantly wanted more.” – Rachel Harris, author of THE FINE ART OF PRETENDING

ReplyDeleteJen, you're welcome!
ReplyDeleteI love this cover art when paired with the synopsis! Mya may be the most beautiful creature on earth, but everything's dulled for her because of how her beauty has negatively affected others' opinions of her. Could've been neat to see her in more color to compare to the bleak outlook in life she must have. Cool that it's based on mythology, too! Absolutely love stories with that :) Just read The Goddess Test to completion, and sooo good. Hope this is fantastic too!
