Binding Belle: A retelling of Beauty and the Beast
Author These are DARK and twisted fairy tale re-tellings. I have added a trigger warning list under the description for those who need one.
A paranormal fairy tale re-telling… of a vampire, a beast, and a library with secrets.
They said that Once Upon a Time a man was cursed to appear as a beast until someone could love him beyond his looks.
But what if the beast was content living alone in his rambling house? What if he liked being feared by those around him?
After Isabel attempts to break into Beast’s home in search of his library, he finds himself intrigued by the nervous stranger who will stand up to him over literature. Against his better judgement he offers her a job of cataloguing the titles, with just one rule… to not wander into one private room.
Yet how can Isabel keep her curiosity to the library when Beast’s life appears to be the ultimate untold tale?
This is the third book in Andie M. Long’s dark and twisted fairy tale re-tellings. Wicked words with happy forever afters.
The following trigger warnings contain spoilers. Don't read on if you prefer to go in not knowing...

This is the 3rd in the Dark & Twisted Fairy-tale series, so it had a lot to live up to, as I love Beauty & the Beast!
Asher (Beast), has a bad reputation, in both his business & personal life. He's gone through some hard times/childhood trauma that has moulded him into the person he is today, whose quite happy in his own company. However, this all changes when his home is broken into by a local girl Isabel she is a book lover & obsessed by libraries, so when she hears of this magnificent large library that's in Beasts home, she HAS to see it. So, she decides to break in & so they're paths cross & the story develops....
Add in paranormal vibes, with vampires & werewolves & the book starts to heat up & not just because of the spice written on the pages!! So, please check your triggers as their is mention of drugs, violence & sexual acts.
There are some references to the previous 2 books, but I would say they maybe interconnected, but can be read as standalones.
I do love Andie's writing style giving the books a smooth flow, not to mention the odd 'tongue in cheek' moments & the banter between characters, that provides some welcome light relief from those dark elements. If you like fun & spicey, you're love this book.

This book was everything, if I could give it more then 5 Stars I would, I've been in a slump for ages and this book has pulled me out of it. the story was amazing, the characters were amazing, I didn't want this book to end, if you haven't read this series then please do, it's got to be my favourite book series I've ever read, the cliffhanger at the end has me so excited for the next book and I can't wait for that 😊🖤

3rd book in andie's dark and twisty fairytale retelling
As you may guess with the title this is a beauty and beast retelling and andie has not missed with this book.
I was extremely lucky to of been able to read this before release and all I can say is if you love werewolf shifters, vampires, witches and fae then this book is for you.
The spice is amazing and the storyline phenominal the characters are amazing well except a certain someone who will not be named let's just say I was glad to read his punishment. There is also another little treat inside this book but you will have to read it to find out what that may be.
Andie thank you for writing this incredible story and the other 2 books you've already written in this series, this book is incredible.
