The Beast Within A Tale of Beauty's Prince

The Beast is a beautiful prince and wants to marry the most beautiful princess, Circe. However, Circe is not a princess, but the Odd Sisters younger sister and they see the ugly truth behind the beast prince's handsome facade. He is arrogant, rude, selfish and wants Circe only for her beauty and her status. To test her sisters' suspicions, Circe pretends to be a pig farmer's daughter and learns an ugly truth about her beloved. His arrogance is the prince's demise and makes his exterior appear as ugly as his soul. His only chance at breaking the curse is not merely to BE loved, but also for him to love. Belle is his last hope, but can she love him? And can HE love her? I absolutely loved Serena Valentino's retelling of the beast prince's story. It is beautifully written and the story merges into the Disney movie with a few additions by Serena. The plot stunned and shocked me in the best ways possible and after reading this book, I believe that Beast did not deserve his happy ending. 10/10 Would definetly recommend.
