26 Fantasy Books Like "A Court of Thorns and Roses"

The original "ACOTAR" book is loosely inspired by "Beauty and the Beast," just like "A Curse So Dark and Lonely" by Brigid Kemmerer. Rhen, the prince of Emberfall, is cursed to repeat the autumn of his 18th year over and over and to turn into a vicious, uncontrollable beast at the end of each season. By the time Harper — a girl from "our" world — gets drawn into Rhen's enchanted world, he's given up hope. But the more time they spend together, the more Rhen dares to think that he and his kingdom could be saved, but even breaking his curse might not save Emberfell anymore.
