booksbytheglass 's review for:

Kill the Beast by Serena Valentino
3.5
adventurous dark sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

so I felt like this was a repeat of book two? just from gaston’s point of view?

which don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate! one of my favorite parts of THE BEAST WITHIN was the backstory between adam/kingsley & gaston, and I’m so happy to see it expanded upon 

although I really wished for a happy ending for gaston selfishly… especially as this story proves he wasn’t actually a bad person, if anything he was a better person and had a better heart than adam did at any point in their upbringing 

if it wasn’t for the odd sisters, gaston probably would have been the hero of the story 🥲

another quick and easy disney retelling read!
