Everyone I know loved Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge except me. Its probably a safe bet that you would love it too. I found it bland and confusing.

I read the first one. I rather enjoyed it, though it was a bit odd. I have this one but haven't read it yet.

I haven't read this one Melissa but I did read Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge and it was OK if you like fairytale retellings.

I see now that everyone who responded to Melissa was a bit iffy about it. This is the first time I saw anything beyond stellar reviews for it. Glad I'm not the only one.

I haven't really found a retelling that I actually loved. They just don't do much for me.

Have you read Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay or Entreat Me by Grace Draven ? They are both much better Beauty and the Beast retellings IMO. Of Beast and Beauty is a YA futuristic retelling. And Entreat Me is a more typical fantasy retelling, which is adult and a bit dark.

I haven't Rebecca. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairytale so I haven't read many retellings. I may check them out.

Understandable if you want to avoid reading a book that ruins a fave story.

I thought someone said this was about little red riding hood. Now I am confused. Guess I will just have to look again.

Judging by the title and cover I would guess that is right. But book one was a Beauty and the Beast retelling.

I read and loved her first book Melissa. And I have Crimson Bound waiting in my kindle to read soon. I'm hoping it's another good one.

Oh yes I loved Of Beauty and Beast a lot too Rebecca. And oh I need to go and check out the second one which I have not read *gasp* yes, I need to run over to Amazon and rectify this situation immediately LOL! I have an obsession for Beauty and the Beast anything :P

Yes Melissa Crimson Bound looks seems to be a Red Riding Hood retelling from the book synopsis.

To be perfectly honest I really didn't like it either. Yes, it was confusing and the whole thing about them being under a parchment sky...I just had a hard time picturing the world the author described.
