The most the characters ever do is make-out, so this book is safe for "tweens" (is that still a term?). Pretty straightforward and predictable; but romantic and mysterious enough for a quick, straightforward read.

Cruel Beauty / Rosamund Hodge / 346 pgs
"Betrothed to the demon who rules her country and trained all her life to kill him, seventeen-year-old Nyx Triskelion must now fulfill her destiny and move to the castle to be his wife."
A retelling of Beauty and the Beast; this one will appeal to young teenage girls. In fact I really felt like this reads like a Shojo Manga, in that the demon is (of course) gorgeous, powerful, and overprotective with that bad boy / mysterious persona. Then the other male character is sweet, kind and also impossibly gorgeous; but is flawed in that he is cursed and is a servant to the demon. So what is a teenage girl to do, when she is locked forever away in a castle with the two men? Try to save them of course! (Like I said, just like a Shojo Manga novel).
