I loved this book I thought Rachel L Demeter did an amazing job on a unique Beauty and the Beast retailing . I was hooked right at the beginning wanted to know how it was going to go and if Adam and Isabelle would get their happy ever after I was on the edge of my seat until the end . Adam was a great hero he just needed his beauty to show him that he isn't the beast that he thinks he is , as the story progressed you see Adam come alive and out of the shadows . Isabelle is a beautiful person inside and out she was willing to risk her own happiness for her father . When Adam and Isabelle cross paths their lives soon change ,these two had a lot on common , they both have had a sad past , lost those they loved the most , growth through out the story , and they see the true beauty in each other . I went through so many emotions was close to tears at times , swooning , cheering when those who wronged the couple got what they deserved , and fearful on what was to come . I know I'll be reading more from this author .

I read a lot of beauty and the beast story lines, I don't know why, but it never grows old for me.  This was a very unique take of the story, and I was pleasantly surprised.  I loved how it logically fit this supernatural world into our everyday current world and yet kept the idea of the servants being turned into house hold objects.  The curse giver hangs around and redefines evil and revengeful making some parts pretty brutal.  Moral of the story, don't live where there's no cell reception and get your car checked out before driving back roads on a mountain in bad weather.

I really enjoyed this beautiful story. The prose is lyrical, in the spirit of old, exotic tales. Suzannah Rowntree retold "Beauty and the Beast" very innovatively. The Indian setting made it more intriguing than the average fairy tale retelling. I loved the descriptions of the Rakshasa's palace. It was delightfully surprising the way she spun Christian allegory into the story; it's not immediately obvious. The story provides much food for thought. I highly recommend this for people who like unique and classic reads.

I received this as a gift off of my wishlist and I was so pleasantly surprised by its beauty. I was a little worried about an online purchase but it was totally unfounded. The statue is stunning in finish and details. The features are delicate and well formed. The tree like bark look of the clothing is gorgeous and perfectly captured. It was just the right finishing touch for my office. You won't be disappointed with this purchase. *Note is says silver but more of a gold/bronze finish which I found warm and lovely.

This Barbie is so beautiful, you wouldn't really think it was exquisite by looking at just the picture but you won't go wrong with getting this Barbie ;)

The beauty is sized for a child. The beast is fit for an adult. I bought the book and CD to go with it. My granddaughter will fall in love with it!

I love retellings of classic fairytales, and this is no exception. This Beauty and the Beast story with Irish appeal is easily one of the best books I've had the opportunity to read in years, and the next one can't come fast enough. Reading The Heart of the Fae will leave you wanting more, and Emma is sure to deliver.

Depravity is a captivating, beautiful version of Beauty and the Beast. It's different, it's exciting, it's well thought-out and well-executed. Haag takes control of your emotions and you find yourself reacting to certain scenes as if it were you in the main character's shoes. This isn't a fairytale you read to children.... It's better.
It ends on a cliff note, BUT THE NEXT BOOK IS OUT so don't give in to the Kindle-throwing urges!

Full star for best storyline and characters that you really care for, seeing in 3D is beyond believing. the movie opening is spectacular. Feels like a popup book. The depths are amazing. The only disadvantage is it doesnt last too long compare 3D done in The Lion King. Otherwise, 3D could have been better. One great thing for this Blu-ray diamond edition it includes tons of bonus feature. Beauty and The Beast Diamond Edition is a complete set & must have for all Disney fans all ages.

This is a great part of the Beauty and the Beast movie and I'm glad to show my love for the movie now by iPhone case, not just watching the movie and dressing in blue.

I am a substantial Beauty and the Beast enthusiast, and this story maintained a plot so closely and wonderfully parallel to the original one, but with some perfectly creative twists! One particular twist on this treasured classic was that everyone had a totem, an animal form that they could transform into. I really liked the idea of everyone having their own inner beast (animal) reflective of themselves, and some being perhaps more beastly than others. It played very well into the story.

Kaide as the Beast character, was beyond perfect! R. S. McCoy did such an amazing job with him! He was everything I wanted to see in the Beast of this story! Im afraid that I have a bit of a crush on him too. He was the perfect Beast to Blossoms Beauty character. Blossom, who was also considerably well written, was sassy, bold, compassionate, naive, adventurous and I enjoyed her character development throughout the book so much! She learns and grows so much into a beautiful character. Both characters had phenomenal chemistry, and I cannot get over how significantly identical some of the scenes felt to the original classic.
Something remarkably noteworthy, is the realm that R. S. McCoy created with the four element-based branches. Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. It had kind of an Avatar: The Last Airbender feel to me in its division of the elements and diversity (the awesome tv show, not the awful movie). The diversity of the four branches offered very different and unique cultures, animal totem groups included.

My imagination soared as I was so incredibly grateful that the author did not overdo any descriptions, but let me gather the terrain and atmosphere from the characters interaction with it. I loved experiencing the market and vendors from Blossoms eager curiosity and interaction with them rather than have everything laid out for me in erroneous detail.

That ending though. A heart-wrenching cliffhanger! What am I going to do with myself while I wait for the next one to come out? I need to know what happens next right meow!

Final verdict: 5 stars! I recommend this book to all Beauty and the Beast fans. I have read a decent amount of Beauty and the Beast retellings, and this is definitely one that you need to get your paws on!

Love, Love, Love this doll. Raven in her Thronecoming out fit has just become one of my favourite from Even After High doll line. I can't even think of where to began. For one, her hair is stunning and the most lushes I have seen in this doll line (I didn't like her hair style so I took it out and I was happily surprised about how thick and long it was), it is also three tones with purple, black and shiny purple streaks. Her dress was stunning and the fabric used to make it was of good quality and make, I would also like to note that the display stand it unlike the normal stands you get for these dolls, as it clipped on underneath the dress so that the dress isn't flattened or messed up by the attachment clip.

This doll is a must have for anyone how is interested in Ever After High dolls.

What can you say about this Disney classic except that Disney Don't Make No Junk! This poignant tale of Belle and the Beast will be treasured for decades to come. The music, the color, the brilliance, is simply spectacular. If you have never seen it, now is the time. You will love it!

Disneys' " Sleeping Beauty" was one of the first movies I ever saw in the theater and it remains one my personal favorite. This stunning DVD showcases the films strengths- its visual beauty, the gorgeous music and the splendor of its design. The story is a bit weak but the battle with the dragon alone is worth the price of this DVD- but there is so much interesting extras that both young and old will find this a must have for the collection.

Beauty and the Beast is by far my favourite fairy tale - the cursed and flawed beast who has to have his humanity rescued by the innocent girl, and the answer is simply love. Of course when Disney made their film in 1991 Belle was even more of an heroine as she was constantly reading, and Beast found his way to her heart by presenting her with a library!!
So, Jessica Grey's version of the fairytale is Atone, and I initially questioned whether I would enjoy it because Becca is constantly referring to Awake, Atone's prequel, which I have not yet read. I felt at a disadvantage and wondered how this would affect me as the story developed but as soon as Becca moves to Nicholas' home I found myself enthralled by the mysticism of Jessica Grey's plot.
Nicholas is a multi-layered character and in Awake he and Becca obviously had encounters which left negative memories for them both. Nicholas finds it hard to trust, despite the fact that Becca is living alone with his Beast, and the rare occasion the reader witnesses his 'man' he withdraws quickly.
Becca is an easier character and very open, although stubborn and persistent. She is able to use Fae magic and is talented with her gifts, convinced that this will help her with the spell on Nicholas' mirror.
Jessica Grey allows the relationship between Nicholas and Becca to evolve slowly and carefully, giving them time to adjust to each other and the circumstances. I loved the way in which the ending of the story was such an uncertainty.
Atone is a perfect example of a rewritten fairytale, and I adored Jessica Grey's book. Now to read Awake!!!
I received this as a review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
