Breaking Belle (Fatal Fables, #1)

Travel into a realm where myths awaken, and fairytales bleed into reality. From the haunted streets of urban legends to the gilded cages of classic stories, brave women pushed to their limits reveal the deadly choices they‘re forced to make. Witness as Belle struggles against a beast more monstrous than myth and step cautiously as Bloody Mary‘s mirror reveals a truth too chilling to confront. These are not tales of damsels in distress but lethal fables, and endings aren‘t guaranteed to be happy. Once upon a time, Belle believed in love. In art. In fairy tales where the monster wasn‘t real, and happily-ever-afters weren‘t just stories. But that was before Adam—before his charm twisted into control, before his whispers turned to threats, before the man she loved became the beast she feared. Now, she‘s trapped in a gilded penthouse with a man who tightens his grip every time she tries to slip free. Her body bears his fingerprints, her soul wears his chains, and every night, she wonders if this will be the time he finally goes too far. But Belle isn‘t the same girl who once painted dreams. She‘s been watching. Waiting. Planning. And when the moment comes—when he underestimates her one final time—she won‘t run. Because monsters don‘t get happy endings. They get buried.
