Kill the Beast

A Tale of Everyone's Favorite Guy

By: Serena Valentino

Narrated by: John York

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • This exhilarating novel follows the downfall of one of Disney’s most arrogant villains: Gaston.

He knew he was the best. He knew he was everyone's favorite guy.

You may think this tale as old as time has been told before. You may know about the Beauty, and the Beast, and the curse they broke together. But some stories have more than one ending. Some stories have more than one villain.

Such is the story of Gaston. Growing up, young Gaston and the prince were brothers in all but blood. Their boyhood adventures led them throughout the many rooms of the castle, and into the deep woods beyond. The woods that were home to the legendary Beast of Gévaudan, a terrifying creature whose presence loomed larger than life in their imaginations.

Then one fateful night, a violent tragedy changed their lives—and their friendship—forever, setting each of them down a very different path: the first, of greed and entitlement, the second, of determination to right the wrongs of the past.
The prince, as we know, paid a price for his wicked ways. And Gaston, fueled by the magic of three meddling witches, grew ever more haunted by a singular mission: to become the hero who killed the Beast.

interesting little deets

it's cool to know that Gaston was actually a nice person and that the Kings cast turned him into the womanizing asshole we all know and love

Great Story!

I might not be the biggest Gaston fan but I did love his story and this series is amazing! I highly recommend this book and the whole series! probably my favorite series to read in general and this story just adds to the lineup!

Amazing Story With A Lot of Heart!!!!

I am not a fan of Beauty and the Beast, so I wasn’t looking forward to reading this book about Gaston. I was completely wrong. This book was one of my favorite. I felt bad for Gaston. I will say that “Kill the Beast” was a lot better than “The Beast Within”.

Everyone’s favorite guy

I can never wrap my head around how much sympathy I end up having for these “villains”… please read in order, the odd sisters do not disappoint and the storyline is so much more enjoyable. My God I feel so bad for Gaston, I am shook!!

Gaston is my favorite guy!!!

This has become my favorite book of the series!!! I cried so many times during this story and I love Gaston so much more now. He wasn’t a villain at all, just clouded by forgotten memories. Truly devastating.
