(in no particular order)
I Have Read
Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge: Inspired by the classic The Beauty and the Beast and contain a lot of Greek mythology and according to the author also is based on the story of Cupid and Psyche, but I also found some similarities with the story of Bluebeard and Ruperstinski. (Review)

Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer: This is a retelling of Cinderella.

Spinning Starlight by R.C. Lewis: This is a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Wild Swans".

I really want to read Sweetly and The Wrath and the Dawn. I wasn't a huge fan of Cruel Beauty, but I loved the writing and the world building, just not the characters. I still do want to to read Crimson Bound. Great list!
