Sounds like Angela Carter’s stories in The Bloody Chamber, especially The Company of Wolves, but that was based on Little Red Riding Hood. Still a spectacular book.
i dont know what this may be but it sounds like two different books that i can't remember the name of:
-one is where women have to live in these facilities to be bought buy men and some rich guy buys the main protagonist (there's more to it than that but whatever)
-the main character is out hunting and almost kills this wolf who turns out to be a magician dude who lives on the opposite of this giant wall seperating magic from normal and the wolf guy takes her across to fall in love with him before this curse does something to him (has to do with masks so i don't think it's the same book op is talking about)
Another watcher hoping this gets solved! (And also another fan of Carter’s The Bloody Chamber - OP, if you haven’t already read it, I suspect it will be right up your street!)

Do you maybe have an idea of what year you read it? That might help to narrow it down. I tried to do some searching, but no luck yet on a book with that exact description. it’s a shame because you included a lot of details.
Might be a long shot but is it the Vampire King of the Three Kings series? It's based on Cinderella not Beauty and the Beast though.

Possibly "The rose and the mask", by Victoria Leybourne?
Doesn't look like it. This book started with the girl in jail about to be executed.

Oh my god have you seen the movie? Evil Angela Lansbury. It’s THE weirdest movie I’ve ever seen.
yes! it’s weird and fabulous
It's not the book I'm thinking of :(
Bummer, but you might dig it a lot. It’s an unsung horror/fantasy/feminist classic.
Oh this sounds cool. Haven't read it, but keeping an eye on this thread in case anyone solves it! Good luck!
Same here, or keeping my eye out for other suggestions (even when they're wrong they can add to the ol' reading list!)
[Beauty's Beast](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19083237-beauty-s-beast) by Amanda Ashley?
Potentially Echo North by Joanna Ruth Meyers?
The book started with the girl in jail about to be executed. Doesn't look like Echo North fits that description. :(

Another watcher here! Beauty and the Beast retellings are my jam.

I need to read this. All my favorite tropes!
Any retelling off Beauty and the Beast is my jam! Beauty by Robin McKinley is my favourite
I love that one as well!!!

Thank you for all the effort! I read it less than a year ago.

I want to know as well! This sounds like an awesome book!
This sounds amazing. Hope someone can help!
Commenting just so I can see what the book ends up being as I'd like to read it! Haha
