Editorial Reviews "...mesmerizing young adult fantasy tale that follows very interesting characters in a complex setting where relationships can be precarious and challenging... Intelligently plotted and expertly written, The Beast of Bellevue explores the reality of the virtual world, coming of age, and complicated relationships. The novel is filled with realism and humanity and Grace Chen does a wonderful job of exploring the complexities of contemporary dating in a virtual world." - Romuald Dzemo - Readers' Favorite 5/5 stars " 'A thought occurred to her that made her blush even deeper. Even if she couldn't be on the outside, that didn't mean she couldn't be a part of it from the inside.' Along with the characters that keep readers turning the pages, the plot remains interesting throughout, making this fairy tale twist easy to read in one sitting." - Yousra Medhkour, USA Review of Books
