Do you believe in witches? Well Kyle Kingsbury didn't until he was turned into a beast by one. Kyle was the type of guy that every girl wanted. He was cute, had a famous dad, and knew how to charm a girl. Even though every girl liked Kyle, Kyle did not like every girl. He only liked the girls who were as gorgeous as him. He treated the girls who he thought were not so cute terribly. Well one of those girls that he treated horribly turned out to be a witch and she wanted to teach Kyle a lesson. So she turned him into a beast and the only way he could be turned back to his old self was by falling in love with someone, have them fall in love with him as well, and kiss him; but he only had two years to do this. Kyle couldn't believe what had happened to him. He looked hideous, how was he going to get a girl to fall in love with him and kiss him. A year passes and Kyle has been living in a brownstone in Brooklyn with only his housekeeper and blind tutor. He has just about given up hope of ever breaking the curse until an intruder breaks into his home. In order to avoid being arrested the intruder offers his teenage daughter to Kyle and Kyle accepts. To find out if this girl will be the one to finally break Kyle's curse read Beastly.
