Story
Desperate to save the life of their queen and her unborn child, the good citizens of the kingdom comb the land for the all-healing Sundrop flower to cure her...but someone mistakenly picks the blossom of the Moondrop instead. This shimmering flower heals the queen, and she delivers a healthy baby girl - with hair as silver and gray as the moon. But with her mysterious hair comes dangerous magical powers: the power to hurt, not heal. For the safety of the kingdom, Rapunzel is locked away in a tower and put under the care of the powerful goodwife Mother Gothel.

Story
Isabelle should be blissfully happy - she's about to win the handsome prince. Except Isabelle isn't the beautiful girl who lost the glass slipper and captured the prince's heart. She's the ugly stepsister who cut off her toes to fit into Cinderella's shoe...which is now filling with blood. Isabelle cut away pieces of herself in order to become pretty. Sweet. More like Cinderella. But that only made her mean, jealous, and hollow. Now she has a chance to alter her destiny and prove what ugly stepsisters have always known: it takes more than heartache to break a girl.

Everyone dreams of marrying a prince - except for me. I am nothing more than a pawn in my adoptive mother's diabolical plot against the seven kingdoms. I was the chosen tool, her sharpened blade that would cut the deepest into the heart of the kingdom of Baist. But like all deadly weapons, my wedding is two-edged sword that could cost me my soul. For I am Rosalie, one of the adopted daughters of Lady Eville, and it is my duty to enter into a loveless and hate-filled marriage with the narcissistic Crown Prince of Baist.

Surprised me that I liked it
It surprised me that I ended up liking it decently enough. At first, it seemed to drag on to get to the point. But, once there, it became a little thriller. I liked the middle of the book very much. The end was definitely "twisted" in a way. But, I wish it ended less cheesy and more fairytale story like.
I think it would be a great next read, unless you have something else you know you'll enjoy more. It's good enough to pull up when you don't have other things to read.
Narrator was great.

Plot Twist
Having a backstory for Belles parents was grand. I'd have enjoyed a bit more of their plot line as a whole to be honest. Without spoiling the ending, I enjoyed the concept behind the changes, however, there was just a looming struggle for tone. Details felt modern and off at times. I loved the depth of the beast though. I felt for him. Belle seemed less sweet and a bit too analytical. Overall it was a fun take on an old tale.

Beauty and the Beast, All Grown Up
Like many kids of the 90’s, Beauty and the Beast was my favorite Disney princess movie. I was looking for an entertaining story to listen to while doing chores. This twisted tale fit the bill. The narrator was fabulous and made me feel immediately immersed in the story. Warning to parents, this is definitely a grownup version of the original Disney story. I would recommend listening to it first before playing it for your kids. The only complaint I have about the story was that it wasn’t long enough! I want a sequel. Highly recommend to adult lovers of the original story.

Beautiful retelling
Anyone that loves the tale of beauty and the beast will absolutely love this retelling. You get to see an interesting side of the beasts’ curse in a way I think is better than how it’s told in the Disney original movie. I definitely recommend this adventures and loving story! The narration is a great addition to how this story is told and because of the combination of the performance and wonderful story I couldn’t stop reading. Overall, I definitely recommend this read!
