Publisher's summary

Safely hidden within the estate's enchanted walls, Benella no longer has time to fear her tormentors. She's too preoccupied attempting to determine what makes the beast so beastly. It might be the taxing visits from the aged enchantress who cursed him or his growing vexation at not being allowed to touch Benella.

In order to gain her freedom, she must find a way to break the curse, but first, she must help him become a better man while protecting her heart.

Intended for adult listeners due to sexual situations, violence, and moderate language.

Still good

This second part of the story had its ups and downs. Sometimes I thought she needed to speak her mind and left me with some angst. Some parts felt a little slow but finally there was some physical scenes that were pretty steamy. Can’t wait for the last part of the story.

Bini loves the Beast!

Ok, so because we all already know the tale of Beauty and the Beast, it was quite obvious that she would fall in love with him. But the journey there is what made this story unique. I couldn't put my tablet down. Finishing this is less than 24hrs. Can't wait to start book 3.

No sophomore slump here

Love love love it on to part 3 for me! This is an adult retelling of my fave fairy tale and this installment is the most brutal. Secrets and lies all over the place.

Great Story

I love everything about this book. The characters, writing development and pace. So many twists and turns that lead to a major cliffy.

In Deceit, we learn more about the beast and slowly see the underlining of his layers. It was so welcoming and refreshing. Benella shows great growth and maturity but still shows us that being naive or vulnerable isn't ways bad...

Sierra Kline kicks major mics in this book. She was so on point that I actually thought there was more than one narrator for the book.

Kiddos all around for MJ Haag and I cannot wait for Devastation!

Audio brings this tale to life!

I had already read Deceit, A Beastly Tale book 2 in ebook but the audiobook is just amazing! It really brings so much depth to this already wonderful story! I can't recommend these books & audio editions enough. Warning: This is an adult retelling of Beauty & the Beast.

More ...just more feels than in print.

If you could sum up Deceit in three words, what would they be?

intense, shocking, hopeful

What other book might you compare Deceit to and why?

I honestly can't think of one.

What does Sierra Kline bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She brings the emotions in her voice. I read books emotionally, but there's something about HEARING emotions in a voice.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

OMG! It's done both, but the strongest emotion is tears. :(

Any additional comments?

I know I said this made me cry, but I've read all three books and I know how this is going to end. It's worth the tears in the end.

I'm in love! Doesn't hurt that some scenes fogged up my glasses

I love this telling of beauty and the beast. She is even strong in this story than the one I heard as a child.

She faces many hardships because of her sisters and how nice she is. I feel her niceness will be her undoing. She doesn't try to hold the monsters and the would be rapists at fault or try to find a way to stop them.

I so happy I decided to pick up this book it was a joy to listen to. The narrator is amazing she brought this tell to life.

Grab this book you will fall in love with it!
