Book description
The first line hits like a punch: I am a beast. Not a wolf. Not a bear. A thing. A monster. And in Alex Flinn's Beastly, you don't just read it. You hear it. The audiobook makes it visceral. You hear the shift in the narrator's voice, from arrogant Kyle Kingsbury to the raw, wounded creature he's become.
This isn't just a retelling. It's a gut-punch. The witch's spell isn't magic. It's consequence. The kind that follows you from the corner office to the alley at midnight. The audiobook nails that slow, terrifying realization: This is me now. The narrator's voice, low and rough, carries the weight of every clawed step, every fang-bared moment of isolation. You don't just hear him hide by day; you feel the panic in his silence.
Flinn's prose is lean. The audiobook strips it bare. No fancy words. Just the truth of a boy who had everything-money, looks, the perfect life-and lost it all. The witch's curse isn't about looks. It's about the cost of being a jerk. The spell breaks when you stop being the monster you are. Not when someone else saves you.
The narrator's journey from arrogant to broken to trying? It lands differently in audio. You hear the cracks. The hesitation before a confession. The way his voice drops when he says, I'll tell you how I became perfectly... beastly. It's not a fairy tale. It's a reckoning. And the audiobook makes you lean in. You hear the fear in his voice when he admits, I'll stay this way forever-ruined.
This isn't just for teens. It's for anyone who's ever been the guy they pretended to be. The one who thought they were untouchable. The one who finally heard the truth. The audiobook's power? It doesn't let you look away. It makes you hear the monster inside the mirror. And then, slowly, the quiet hope of becoming something else. You listen. You understand. And you realize: the beast wasn't the curse. The curse was never seeing yourself.
