It’s #fairytalefridays! I am so excited because today we are going to look at one of my absolute favorite stories, Beauty & the Beast. As a child, I was obsessed with Belle and loved the movie, even though I was petrified that the Beast would hop out of the VHS and kidnap me. For this reason, I refused to use the bathroom at night because I had to walk by the VHS shelf. Moving on from that embarrassing anecdote, let’s take a look at some of my favorite Beauty & the Beast retellings.
A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer: When she tries to stop a kidnapping in D.C. one night, Harper finds herself transported to a world where she meets a cursed prince in this fast-paced, romantic story.
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas: After killing a wolf, Feyre is dragged off to a magical land by an immortal faerie where her feelings for him slowly change in this steamy, action-packed tale.
Hunted by Meagan Spooner: When her father goes missing in the woods, Beauty goes after him and finds herself the prisoner of a cursed beast in this compelling, emotional fantasy.
Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge: Infusing fairytale and Greek mythology, this is an engaging, complex story following Nyx, a girl betrothed since birth to the evil ruler of her kingdom whose situation transforms when she discovers that the man she must marry is actually a charming being with a secret.
Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones: After her sister is kidnapped by the Goblin King, Liesl travels to the Underground and finds herself captivated by the strange world and its ruler in this lush, lyrical novel.
