About the Book

Ro remembers the castle before. Before the gates closed. Before silence overtook the kingdom. Before the castle disappeared. Now it shimmers to life one night a year, seen by her alone.

Once a lady, now a huntress, Ro does what it takes to survive—just like the rest of the kingdom plunged into despair never before known.

But a beast has overtaken the castle. A beast that killed the prince and holds the castle and kingdom captive in his cruel power. A beast Ro has been hired to kill.

Thankful the mystery of the prince’s disappearance has been solved, furious the magical creature has killed her hero, Ro eagerly accepts the job to end him.

But things are not as they seem.

Trapped in the castle, a prisoner alongside the beast, Ro wonders what she should fear most: the beast, the magic that holds them both captive, or the one who hired her to kill the beast.

“A wonderfully complex, beautiful retelling of the classic story Beauty and the Beast. Better than Disney!”
– Anna Tan, author of Amok, Coexist, and Dongeng
“Michele wrote an amazingly flawed beauty. Rosette is angry and hot tempered and believes rumors and judges the beast on his fierceness. I can relate to a beauty who makes mistakes and who isn’t some unattainable example of what women should be. And yes, she still likes books. Finally, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast that makes me feel for both Beast and Beauty.”
– C.O. Bonham, author of Runaway Lyrics
“An enjoyable retelling of the ORIGINAL Beauty and the Beast! Forget Disney—this is French inspired with delicious food, disappearing castles, and fairies. The lead character is tough, feisty, and not your traditional beauty. I stayed up (too late) reading this one. If you like fairy tale retellings, check out Kill the Beast!”
– J.M. Hackman, award-winning author of the Firebrand Chronicles
“The premise immediately captured my attention, and the story did not disappoint! Who wouldn’t be intrigued by the idea of Red Riding Hood hired to hunt and kill the beast from Beauty and the Beast? Ro is a woman with agency, and she never stops taking action to reach her goal. The setting is so vivid that I felt like I was walking through the dilapidated castle and grounds alongside Ro as she uncovers secrets and mysteries. If you enjoy retelling mashups, you won’t want to miss Kill the Beast and the rest of the series!”
– Savannah J. Goins, author of the Odan Terridor Trilogy
“A particularly spinny take on a familiar fairy tale with a tough but believably flawed heroine and tasty magic.”
– H.L. Burke, award-winning and bestselling author of over twenty eclectic fantasy novels
