Beauty and the Beast of the Moon: A F/F Fairytale Retelling

by Alana Archer

One sickly daughter for her father's freedom, who wouldn't take that trade?

When my father trespasses on the grounds of a cursed castle, taking his place seems like a sensible solution to our problems, even if the castle's sole occupant is a horrifying creature who refuses to speak with me.

I know that she's worried that if she lets me go, more will follow my father, but if I can get her to trust me, I should be able to convince her that I will be able to tell enough terrible tales of my time here to make sure no one ever dares approach the castle again.

I just need to figure out how to win the trust of a monster...

3 stars. This was my favorite of the series so far. I will always love a sapphic Beauty and the Beast retellings and this one was quite lovely. Isabel and Rose were both likable leads and had good chemistry. I do think that having Isabel start to have feelings for Rose because of a dream felt kinda underwhelming but whatever. This was fun and quick read.

Enjoyable addition to the series, and like all of the others, a reasonably fast paced and light story that does eventually tie in with the previous moon book. There is some spice, plenty of sweet moments, and while you can see the beats and inspiration from the original fairytale, it is definitely a story of its own as well.

loved it

Great story. Loved the remaking of beauty and the beast. Small amount of spice. I cannot wait for book 2!!
