Beast Within, The-Villains, Book 2 (Villains, #2)

by Serena Valentino

Presents an adaptation of the classic Beauty and the Beast fairy tale from the perspective of the cursed prince who is transformed from a beloved and jovial ruler into a reclusive and bitter monster in search of true love.

This adaptation of Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST explores what transformed the Prince into the Beast. The plot contains mild violence.

The Beast Within was a fun look into what happened before The Beast became the Beast and was just a Prince. Valentino covers everything the Disney movie sort of glossed over. Who was the Enchantress and why did she have such a beef with the Prince? What did the Prince do to end up a Beast?

Valentino's The Beast Within is a quick and light read but it is rich in detail. While I'm glad I read the book, I am glad I used my library instead of coughing up the $9.99 Kindle price.
