Princess Of Petals: A Fairy Tale Retelling Of Beauty And The Beast
Beauty meets the Beast and is determined not to lose her heart in the process.
Astrid has known for years about her prophecy, and when her parents send her to the prestigious Grimm Academy, she hopes she might finally be able to put it behind her.
Despite her parents' insistence that she comes away with a noble suitor, she can't help but find herself drawn to Conan, a scholarship student with a prophecy of his own he's trying to avoid.
When the Bellpoint Castle competition to find an heir comes along, she finally feels as if she might have found a solution to her problems. If she wins, she'll be a princess, and able to choose her own suitor. If she loses, then she could fall prey to her prophecy and lose it all.

Reviews and Comments
I really enjoyed this Retelling of Beauty and the Beast and thought it was an interesting twist on the story. Both Astrid and Conan were fun characters to get to know and I also enjoyed the friendship between Astrid, Elisa, & Cordelia. I look forward to reading more books in this fun and lighthearted series of fairy tale retellings.
