“Work is paid, miss,” says Mr Hatley decidedly.

This is such a crunchy, nit-picky thing to be annoyed by, but I'm reading 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' with my English students and every single GR entry reads 'THE Strange Case' and no? That's not how Stevenson titled it? There's no THE!

Many thanks to @thebookwyrmshoard2.bsky.social for such a long and detailed review of Shadowbeast 🥲🥰
Wrapped up Shadowbeast and this is my new favorite retelling of Beauty and the Beast hands down. @michellefranklin.bsky.social has modernized this and humanized both The Beauty and The Beast. Plus, Searle is clearly Sebastian's cousin and you can't convince me otherwise.

“He is not a servant,” said Darren defensively.
“No. You will have to divulge what magic your father used to entice him to your estate.”
“He offered him a job.”
