KETURAH AND LORD DEATH by Martine Leavitt

Martine Leavitt offers a spellbinding story, interweaving elements of classic fantasy and high romance in this National Book Award Finalist. Keturah follows a legendary hart into the king’s forest, where she becomes hopelessly lost. Her strength diminishes until, finally, she realizes that death is near. Little does she know that he is a young, handsome lord, melancholy and stern. Renowned for her storytelling, Keturah is able to charm Lord Death with a story and thereby gain a reprieve but only for twenty-four hours. She must find her one true love within that time or all is lost. Keturah searches desperately while the village prepares for an unexpected visit from the king, and Keturah is thrust into a prominent role as mysterious happenings alarm her friends and neighbors. Lord Death’s presence hovers over this all until Keturah confronts him one last time in the harrowing climax.

THE ANCIENT MAGUS BRIDE (2017)

I’m not really manga or anime savvy but this seems to have a reylo vibe. Abandoned girl becomes a demon’s apprentice/bride.

The beautiful Russian movie “On Drakon” (He’s a Dragon) is a perfect monster love story.

In the midst of her wedding a princess is kidnapped by a dragon, taking her away to his castle on a far away island. Everything that is left is a stony imprisonment shared with a mystic creature and a mysterious young man. Who is he and how did he get to the island? The princess will uncover the secret, but it will be too late. Her love for him – the man who is a dragon – will turn into torture for both of them…

LEGEND (1985) by Ridley Scott

A dark, beautiful and very sensual fairy tale / fantasy movie. Loss of innocence, destruction, coming of age, seduction and love are the main themes. Visually stunning and full of mischievous fairies, beautiful unicorns and demons.

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid thinking that the dude had really ugly teeth. Yes, I’m talking about Tom Cruise.😂 On the other hand I really liked the red guy (Lord of Darkness) and I remember how bummed I was that it didn’t work out between him and the heroine. Actually I’m still bummed.

BRYONY AND ROSES by T. Kingfisher

Bryony and her sisters have come down in the world. Their merchant father died trying to reclaim his fortune and left them to eke out a living in a village far from their home in the city.

But when Bryony is caught in a snowstorm and takes refuge in an abandoned manor, she stumbles into a house full of dark enchantments. Is the Beast that lives there her captor, or a fellow prisoner? Is the house her enemy or her ally? And why are roses blooming out of season in the courtyard?

Armed only with gardening shears and her wits, Bryony must untangle the secrets of the house before she—or the Beast—are swallowed by them.

A wonderful take on Beauty and the Beast. In this version a dark entity resides within the beast’ s castle. Funny, creepy and romantic.
