Description
Step into this chilling, historical horror inspired by the unsolved mystery of the Beast of Gévaudan.
When a series of brutal, mysterious deaths start plaguing the countryside and whispers of a beast in the mountains reach the quiet French hamlet of Mende, most people believe it’s a curse—God’s punishment for their sins.
But to sixteen-year-old Joséphine and her best friend, Clara, the beast isn’t a curse. It’s an opportunity.
For years, the girls of Mende have been living in a nightmare—fathers who drink, brothers who punch, homes that feel like prisons—and this is a chance to get them out.
Using the creature’s attacks as cover, Joséphine and Clara set out to fake their friends’ deaths and hide them away until it’s safe to run. But escape is harder than they thought. If they can’t brave a harsh winter with little food… If the villagers discover what they’re doing… If the beast finds them first...
Those fake deaths might just become real ones.

This book was rage, pure rage. I was angry with the main character. I was angry for the main character and i think i will be angry for a few days..
This book referenced the beast of gevaudan but it wasn't about the beast. It was about Girls, one angry girl in particular. I found the book beautifuly written and easy to follow. I always wanted her to succeed, i wanted them to get away so bad, that i wanted to scream at some parts. This book was about surviving in a time and in a Village, where you had the feeling that every single Person could be turned against you. And I LOVED that this book Made me feel the Same things, that the character were feeling
