Ilustration Conducive To Books Beauty and the Beast (Faerie Tale Collection #1)
Beauty and the Beast is the first in a new series of fairy tales for young adult readers. Fans of Disney, fairy tales, and fantasy will love the Faerie Tale Collection by Jenni James. A prince by day and a wolf by night—Prince Alexander has been turned into a werewolf and has one year to find someone to love the beast and break the spell, or he will be a wolf forever. He has nearly given up achieving the impossible, knowing no girl would ever fall in love with such a monster.
Just when he is about to abdicate the throne to his cousin, he meets Cecelia Hammerstein-Smythe, while a wolf, and begins to hope for the first time in months. Can he balance both worlds as a human and beast, gaining the love and trust of a girl who has every reason to despise him?
Cecelia detests the prince. She only knows Alexander as the arrogant monarch—the tyrant who has made her life miserable—though perhaps he's changed right before her eyes. He's not as full of himself as he once was. The prince is gentle now... but then again, so is the beast.

Honesty time.I am trying so terribly hard to understand why this book was rated so highly. Perhaps it was just the Kindle version I read that was poorly written? In any case...Story time!Now, don't get me wrong, I can get past terrible writing if the story is good, and vice versa. But this story was just not good. As far as re-tellings of Beauty and the Beast goes, this is by far my least favorite.From the first chapter of the book, continuity and time-lines were such a confusion, as they seemedThis was a rather ridiculous fairy tale based around Beauty and the Beast. And by ridiculous, I mostly mean that it was cheesy. But it was also a lot of fun to read. The story itself could have used some more development. The characters were just kind of thrown at you and I wasn't very inclined to like either of them at first. They grew on quickly though. And they were really cute and funny together. It was fun to read their silly banter.I wasn't too into the fact that the "Beast" was only a
Typically speaking, I like to read fairy tale classics told in a new light. When I was given this to read...I was decently happy about it, granted Beauty and the Beast is not my favorite.To start with, the book was not just an easy read....it was overly easy. The book is for young adults and yet reads like it should be for a younger generation. The only thing that could be argued for young adults is that the vocabulary is a bit more advanced than a childrens novel. I will say though that the
The book wasn't bad. It starts out some what repetitive: same Beauty and Beast story, so for the first 50 pages or so, I was just kinda rolling my eyes, hoping something interesting would happen, half considering dropping the book and continuing onto my next one. After that, though, it gets more interesting. Jenni James adds a few twists into the story and writes a very strong connection between Cecelia and her Apollo (the beast). I enjoy the idea of Alexander being a beast at night and a human
Being familiar with the Beauty and the Beast tale, I'm sure everyone's aware of what happens. But just in case, careful! There are spoilers here. This certainly was more entertaining than the other Jenni James novel I read (Prom & Prejudice). But the story seemed to move along too quickly. It seems right when you're introduced to the characters they've already started falling in love. Doesn't sound so strange, right? However, in the moment you first see them interact with each other, they
I really liked the overall idea of this Beauty and the Beast retelling. It just seemed a little rushed and I found a lot of errors in the Kindle version that I read. I got it awhile ago though and maybe those have been fixed?
