| 8𝘅 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗 · A YA Beauty and the Beast gender-swapped retelling. Bit of a Stranger Things vibe going on, too! 

Life was going mega well for Beatrice-Bea Laurent, a soon-to-be 18-year-old certified Insta star slash posh gal. 

She was spending every waking breath throwing parties, and dodging responsibilities. 

Until one fateful day when an Instagram scandal has her parents banish her from New York to New Town. 

Next thing she knows, she is cursed by a creepy old lady and is... changed. She starts growing fur, claws AND fangs!

                                                                                      ***

Beatrice Laurent is your average posh teen girl, who goes to classes when she feels like it.
Which is basically... never. She spends her days lounging on her couch, staring at her phone screen, sharing fab life insta stories with her "friends," and sliding into their dms.
Dodging real life responsibilities left and right, she does nothing, yet has everything.
And, she has no problem with that. 
In fact, she enjoys it.
Chartering planes-check. Private yachts-check. Designer duds-check. 
No expectations, no responsibilities, no worries. 

But that all ends when Beatrice gets grounded and banished from New York to New Town. 
Cherry on top: she is cursed by a creepy old lady at a party she threw!

Suddenly she is friggin' growing fur, claws and other feline attributes, and having the incredible urge to roar and pursue tiny rodents.

What's a girl to supposed to do when she involuntarily transforms into a beast and can't attend classes no more?

Can Bea count on Ross Thorne, a bookish classmate who is struggling to stop living in his older brother Gus' shadow... 
To keep her secret? 

And perhaps aid her in the un-cursing when their budding affection becomes more than apparent?

My body needing him. Sophia Carrington. She just moved from New York to California in search of a new life. When her life took a dark turn she's forced to leave everything behind. She just wants to finish her final year of high school, numb to the world, while learning to cope with the trauma she's endured. Carter Marquez.

Heartless by Layanabella

My body trembled, but not from the cold. "You frighten me." His brow twitched, eyes darting around the features of my face. "Frighten, or excite?" His gaze dropped to my mouth. "Which is it, Miss Young?" ❆ Once upon a time in a dying village, there lived a girl who dreamed of a life free of fear and death. She yearned for a world not ruled by the darkness and the demons awaiting her inside it... For nearly eighteen years, Adaira Young has been able to hide from the monsters that plague her small village. Every year in Kinnot, a name must be drawn to be offered to the beasts from the mountains. Once they are sacrificed and disappear through the gates, they are never seen again. When Adaira's world comes crashing down around her and she finds herself on the outside of those very walls, Adaira comes face to face with the monster she's been cowering from all her life: A terrifying man named Beast. Whisked away to his palace in the icy mountains, Adaira struggles to adjust to her new life and fight the dangerous feelings of attraction growing inside her. But as the days grow colder and their relationship grows stronger, a deadly secret from Beast's past threatens to shatter everything.

My Girlfriend is a Vampire by yurilovergirl22

→First Book Written← [Note:I both love this book & hate it. I love it for my characters, but hate it. Because it didn't go how I originally planned it too. Anyways, if you decide to read this book, please bare with me..Because there will be grammar mistakes and errors, & I'm to lazy to edit this book.] ~~~ Alison Rossford didn't live an easy life, with parents splitting when she was 5 years old, a mother who doesn't care about anyone, but her own self and money from her husband when she remarried, to think Alison would be living with her father, but because of the restraining order her mother put between them, she hasn't seen him since the divorce. At some points in Alison's life, she would think of doing self harm to herself or even taking her own life, but then again..she never had the strength to do so, it was like..there was always something stopping her. But there was this one night, Alison was at her lowest, she didn't care about anything, she didn't know what to do anymore, she was lost and had no where to go, but before anything can happen..an Angel in disguise was there to stop her. Jinri, mainly known as Jin just happened to be around the area and stopped Alison from doing something that she would regret doing once it's already done, she saw in Alison's eyes loneliness and someone that hasn't been loved, so she decided to change that, even if she's been in countless relationships and been in love more than she can count. You ask, how is that possible? Well, Jinri been around for thousands of years or even more, cause of the fact that she blends in with the human world, being the only vampire alive, or so she thought. Thinking the man that she once loved, was gone for good. But somehow he's back and he isn't to happy.

Rell and The Rose by hjnelson

A Beast stalks the night... but Beauty hunts him. A reimagining of the story you thought you knew. Rell grew up hearing stories of the Human Realm, a fantastic world with light at the flick of a finger, metal boxes that fly through the sky; a fantastic, faraway fairytale that she knows is too good to be true. Because Rell lives in the Dark Realm: a world full of magical creatures and a low-hanging sky, all protected by The Blood Rose. Until the day the Blood Rose is stolen away and taken to the Human Realm. Without it, the two realms will meet with disastrous consequences, the human sun bleaching all the magic from the Dark Realm. And so Rell leaves everything she knows to bring it back. There's only one problem: the Human Realm- especially high school- is nothing like the stories. There's some sort of code with words like "twerking" and "Instagram" she can't understand, and then there's Bastien, the boy who hates Rell for reasons she can't explain. But when Rell realizes Bastien is keeping just as many secrets as she is, the two become an unlikely team in the search for the Blood Rose. Time is ticking, and more than just The Dark Realm is at stake. Whoever stole the rose is now cursed to turn into a Beast every full moon, and is hidden among them. Students are going missing, and dark creatures are slipping into the Human Realm. Rell needs to find the Blood Rose, slay the Beast, survive high school, and sort out these new, confusing feelings for Bastien--all before the night of the full moon. To fail could mean the end of The Dark Realm and every magical creature within, but to succeed means she'll lose the boy she's falling for, and a Realm more beautiful than she ever imagined. A modern-day reimaging of Beauty and the Beast.

Hiding From Light: A Beauty and the Beast Genderbend by Arieltoria

14 in fairytaleretelling 10/23/22 Princess Luna of Yaquir angered the wrong person. Now she's doomed to be a beast, as ugly on the outside as she is within, unless she can find someone to love her. At first, with her curse, she thought of only one thing. Ashton. The one thing she wanted, but never got. It made her bitter. And now, she's paying the price. /// Brandon has never been like "the others." They turn to the latest forms of technology and entertainment, determined to make the most of every game and fad to come into their hands. All he really wants is a safe haven to turn the pages of a book, and the ability to lose himself in a world of fiction and others' problems. So when he finds out that libraries all over Yaquir are closing down due to decreased usage and an overabundance of E-books, and that his might be next, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He never dreamed he'd actually end up at a castle instead. Just as he never dreamed he'd become hopelessly stuck there either. This is a Beauty and the Beast genderbend, and the third book in the Light series. As with all of my books, it can be read as a standalone. It's rated PG-13 for language and violence. Updates will be every Saturday starting July 9
