About the Book
In Kill the Beast you get the eleventh book in the New York Times best-selling Villains series follows the downfall of Disney’s slickest, quickest, and smarmiest villain: 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.
My Take on the Book
I love these Villain books because they make you re-imagine the villains you have come to know and have a love/hate relationship with. This book does just that as it introduces you to the carefree boy who was friends with the Prince and becomes the beast. I love how this makes you see Gaston and the Prince in a new way, but also helps you to better understand how and why Gaston may feel the way that he does about the Beast. This is a strong story with good characterization. The book flows well together and is a book that is a ton of fun to read.
