A Short Fairytale Retelling

By: Stevie Rae Causey

Narrated by: Droyer D. Conley

Length: 1 hr and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

Belle didn't mean to veer off the road.

It was the little boy standing in the middle of the road that made her swerve her motorcycle down the embankment as she made her escape.

"You hit your head pretty hard," her rescuer's voice fades as she follows the boy into the woods, the one her rescuer said didn't exist.

The boy guides her to his castle in the woods, where the two must face a terrible beast, and unlock a dark family secret in order to survive.

A contemporary take on Beauty and the Beast with a literary twist.

Twisted Tale

A cute and short twisted tale of your fairytale love. There were some similarities in here to tie this story to the actual Beauty and the Beast. The author placed the constructs as per the short story premise and did not complicate things by having too many characters, which I think was a smart move. I wished the story was a little longer though, as I was enjoying reading it.

Thankyou #storyorigin @stevieraecausey for the Digital Review Copy

Short but okay

This is a very short story. It is a little like the Beauty and the Beast, but it just seemed weird. It seems like the beast is a boy and there are even more rules.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

Unusual Retelling of a Fairytale

I enjoyed this retelling of an old fairytale. This rendition was very short. Although there were some elements from the original fairytale, this tale was a clever and unique reimagining. I appreciated the beautiful and descriptive words that helped to paint pictures within my imagination. I recommend this short story to others who enjoy this genre. Droyer D. Conley's narration was fine. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Great short story

This was a short story that was about a curse that was wrongly cast. I enjoyed it and the author did a great job.

Short, Clean & Unusual Take

A really short book with an interesting and unusual take on Beauty and the Beast... and found the ending a little confusing and unfinished/lacking closure. This is one of those open ended stories that allows the reader to come up with their own interpretation just personally not my favorite writing style

Narrator- 3⭐ has a pleasant voice, good differentiations. The speaking rate was a bit slow but better at 1.25x speed.

Parents- PG- middle grade and up read
Language: Clean
Violence: Clean
Sexual Content- nothing to warn of- clean read

Retelling a tale as old as time.

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tale so when I saw this, I was really interested in seeing how this one will go. It was a quick listen but I found it very interesting. In my opinion, the author did a very good job weaving the story. Some parts even seems to have other fairy tales weaved into it. Very cleverly done as it kept my attention, wanting to know what happens next. The narrator also did a very good job drawing me in and engaged in the story. If you love fairy tales and have an hour or so to spare, this is a nice, quick book to listen to.

Belle. Boy. Beast.

An original story of Beauty and the Beast. A short hour listen. Narrator has good voices for these characters. Although some words were hard to understand with a strong accent.
The story was descriptive. Mysterious. Puzzling. Even philosophical. Entertaining.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from the author through Story Origin.

SHORT & SWEET. I ENJOYED IT ALOT. CLEAN

STORY IS SHORT, SWEET AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

CLEAN AND ACCWPTABLE FOR PRE-TEENS & UP.

NARRATOR DROYER D CONLEY WAS GOOD, WELL SPOKEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

Loved this retelling

This short story is a fast-paced retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Its length means that it's hard to really talk about the contents of the story without revealing too much of the story. For that reason, I don't really want to say anything about the actual story beyond telling you that it is a non-traditional retelling. But, it is all the better for it. What I will say, though, is that there isn't the romance of the original story. But there is a giant library. Side Note: When I finally get my dream home, it will have a giant library...

I listened to the audiobook version, which was narrated by Droyer D. Conley. I enjoyed the narration so much that as soon as I finished it, I was already relistening to it. Its length is just over an hour, which makes that an easy thing to do without losing too much time, too. And, I already have plans to listen to it again in the next day or two. That, more than anything else, speaks to how good the story is. Will you join me in listening?

BEAUTY WITHIN THE BEAST

A INTERESTING UNIQUE STORY. THE NARRATOR DID A GOOD JOB WITH THE STORY.
