Series
The Kendra Chronicles
Alex Flinn · 4 novels · 1 novella · 2007–2017
Alex Flinn's Kendra Chronicles opens with Beastly, a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast in which a wealthy, shallow New York teenager is transformed into a monster by a witch's curse and has two years to break the spell by earning real love. Later books widen the cast to other characters from that story — Lindy, the witch Kendra herself — while staying inside the same fairy-tale-updated-to-Manhattan premise. It's YA fairy-tale retelling built around one curse and its ripple effects rather than a continuing plot across all volumes.
