The book read a bit like fanfiction with an Alice in Wonderland crossover, but that aspect didn’t really bother me. It was really cute to read about them spending time together, and I found myself wishing that this book was even longer! In this book, Belle and the Beast are slowly becoming friends with a few hiccups along the way (the Beast’s temper).

If there is one thing I wished I could see more of in the animated and real-life version of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is the growing friendship between Belle and the Beast. In this tantalizing world, Belle forgets about the Beast and the servants at the castle. In a small room in the library, Belle finds Nevermore and she is magically transported into a fantastic new world. Enchanted by the Beast’s library, Belle spends hours at a time looking through the shelves. One day, the Beast decides to surprise Belle with a fantastic gift, his entire library collection. She conjures up a book called Nevermore and has it placed in the Beast’s castle. Love agrees to the wager and hopes that her sister, Death, will play fair. Death makes a wager that she can break up the two thus proving once and for all that death is stronger than love. Meanwhile, Love and Death are watching Belle and the Beast.

After that day, Belle and the Beast begin to talk a bit more and they are on their way to becoming friends.

I have been wanting to read this book for such a long time! I loved the cover art, I loved the premise and I especially love all things Beauty and the Beast .īeauty and the Beast: Lost in a Book takes place after Belle saves the Beast from the wolf attack in the woods after she tried to run away. But what about her friends in the Beast’s castle? Can Belle trust her new companions inside the pages of Nevermore? Is Nevermore’s world even real? Belle must uncover the truth about the book, before she loses herself in it forever. Here Belle can have everything she has ever wished for. The charming and mysterious characters Belle meets within the pages of Nevermore offer her glamorous conversation, a life of dazzling Parisian luxury, and even a reunion she never thought possible. The adventures Belle has always imagined, the dreams she was forced to give up when she became a prisoner, seem within reach again. When she comes upon Nevermore, an enchanted book unlike anything else she has seen in the castle, Belle finds herself pulled into its pages and transported to a world of glamour and intrigue. Smart, bookish Belle, a captive in the Beast’s castle, has become accustomed to her new home and has befriended its inhabitants.
