***A modern, gender-swapped retelling of the classic fairy tale.***

Keefe Beatty is beautiful, but odd. With only his senior year to get through before he can finally escape his tiny conservative town, he decides to keep his head down and not expect much. But then circumstances out of his control find Keefe at the mercy of fallen TV starlet Andréa Donovan - as spoiled and beastly as ever - and what begins as a rocky arrangement soon blooms into a friendship both loner teens never knew they needed.  

To escape the hell that is high school in a small town, not to mention their own personal demons, they lose themselves to creating Fairy Tale Moments: bits of whimsy to break up the magic-less monotony of real life. From stripper heels to rubber rats to their own version of a frog prince, Keefe and Andie stretch their imaginations to the limit. And what was supposed to be a dumb game to merely to entertain themselves becomes the very thing that makes them grow closer and closer.

But life isn't a fairy tale, there's always something - or someone - out to ruin happy people's good time. And only by sticking together will they conquer their dragon and be able to live happily ever after.

So let's see how they do that, shall we?All Rights Reserved

My Best Friend's Brother by edgarallenyo

"All week, you've been on my mind, and I can't make it go away. Finally, after suffering in silence for so long at the thought of your lips, your laugh, and your smile..." Aaron trailed off, his eyes roamed my face. "All week?" I scoffed pulling away. "I've been in love with you for twenty years!" "We've been friends since childhood, and I've accepted that we're just not meant to be. I've tried to move on and you encouraged me to follow my dreams. I just... I didn't know that my dream was you." . ✧ . Bethany grew up in a small town in rural Alabama. Her older brother and her best friend had been the only closest people to her for years. Until they all graduated together and went their separate ways. Struggling to stay in touch with one another with their developing, adult lives. Years ago Bethany had fallen head over heels in love with the most popular guy in town, Aaron Russel. But confessing her feelings had always been something she would never do. After all Aaron was her best friend's brother who never gave Bethany a second thought. Or so she thought. Bethany had always been the typical nerdy girl without any fashion sense. Aaron was the complete opposite. Aaron throughout school was the class clown, football quarterback with dozens of friends that hung onto his every word. Girls at his beck and call. And high school only enriched his popularity. And now almost a decade later they all have the opportunity to see each other again at their ten year high school reunion. Now Bethany had the chance to show everyone she grew up with how much she changed. Her thriving career out of state finally gaining confidence and sophistication transforming into a whole new woman. It took Aaron and Bethany some time to realize what they wanted and what they needed in life. And it took them even more time to confess who they were truly in love with.

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.

Celadon Bay - Book One by CeladonBayStories

FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD John Foster is a loner, and that's just the way he likes it. If you lay low and keep quiet, there's not likely to be any drama or chaos to complicate your life. But when John's parents move the family from Sunset Central to the beach town of Celadon Bay, his once quiet and familiar world is suddenly anything but! To add insult to injury, the family must bunk in with John's Aunt Sugar and Uncle Owen-parents of his infamous cousin, Martin-a boy with whom John, (much to his chagrin) must share a room. Martin is everything John is not: extroverted, opinionated, fearless, and most notably, a terrible teenage womanizer! How is this ever going to work? Factor in a little rule breaking, an impromptu adventure or two, some miscommunication, and a whole lot of girls, and poor John is the proverbial 'fish-out-of-water' on the shores of this unfamiliar beach town. But things aren't always as they seem, and, as John is about to discover, people can be full of surprises; even the ones you thought you had all figured out. And sometimes, getting pushed way out of your comfort zone can prove to be life-changing. CELADON BAY is a tender coming-of-age story-one featuring an unlikely friendship, a lot of self-discovery, and the heartfelt and all-encompassing bloom of first love. Ultimately, it's a story that centres around that age-old expression, "Nice guys finish last." Wait... do they?
