Beast by Penny Dee  | Book Review

Feb. 27, 2025

Beast by Penny Dee  | Book Review

This book may be unsuitable for people under 17 years of age due to its use of sexual content, drug and alcohol use, and/or violence.
I am a Penny Dee fan and when I heard she was rewriting fable I knew this was a bandwagon I had to jump on. I am so glad that I did.

Genres: Contemporary Fairytale Retelling, MC Romance

“There is nowhere for you to run, little one…”

Beast
I am the president of The Knights of St. Bon Motorcycle Club.
A seven-foot mountain of muscle and bone in a pair of motorcycle boots and a leather cut.
Cursed with demons and darkness and secrets that run deep.
To the people of St. Bon, I am a monster.
To my club brothers, I am a fearless leader.
To her, I am a nightmare.

Belle
He comes out of the shadows and turns my world upside down.
He forces me to marry him to pay off my uncle’s debt to the motorcycle club.
The stakes are high. I must be convincing as his old lady or there will be consequences for the both of us.
But I could never imagine the real reason he wants to marry me.
Or the secrets he is guarding in the forbidden room.

Beast is a Beauty & the Beast retelling, set in the fictional, dreamy town of St. Boniface. It is an enemies to lovers, motorcycle club romance with spice and suspense, touch her and die vibes, and twists you won’t see coming.

Beast is book one in the MC Fables series. For readers 18+.

my review


This dark and captivating story offers a fresh take on the Beauty and the Beast theme, borrowing character names and moral contrasts while forging its own unique and compelling path. From the very first page, the intricate plot draws readers into a thrilling and immersive experience, packed with action, emotion, and unexpected twists.

Belle and Beast are a dynamic pair, their chemistry absolutely electric. While Belle initially appears reserved, she quickly proves to be fierce and unapologetically strong, refusing to let anyone dictate her choices. Beast, on the other hand, is a deeply layered character—loyal, protective, and surprisingly tender beneath his rough exterior.

Just when you think the action might settle, the story delivers another shocking turn, keeping the suspense high and the emotions raw. The intensity had my heart racing, fully immersing me in every moment. A gripping, adrenaline-fueled read that will keep you hooked from start to finish!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars A bookstore owner stalks an author. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars

A bookstore owner stalks an author.

The author threatens to call the police.

Then actually does.

Somehow this turns into a romance and I loved every minute of it. 😂

Jasmine and River were chaotic, stubborn, funny, and completely perfect together. Their banter carried this entire book for me.

Also, River trusting Jasmine when everyone else was questioning her? That man knew exactly who she was.

I loved how Liza and Cassian slowly became part of each other's everyday lives before romance really took center stage. They were so comfortable together and completely made me smile.

And Alaric's formal complaint? I laughed so hard I nearly spit out my drink. 😂

I cannot wait for the next trip back to Blackthorn Bay!

Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to k Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to know more about, and his story absolutely delivered. We've seen glimpses of him throughout the series—always keeping his distance while still showing up when it mattered most. Finally learning the truth behind his past and the loss he carries was heartbreaking.

Kit was not at all who I expected for Bridger, but she ended up being exactly what he needed. Their story felt a little different from the other books in the series, focusing more on healing, guilt, and emotional growth than outside conflict. I actually loved that change of pace.

The Rogue Pack's matchmaking antics had me shaking my head and laughing at the same time, and as always, the pack dynamics were one of my favorite parts of the book.

A sweet, emotional paranormal romance filled with heart, healing, and one grumpy wolf who finally gets the happiness he deserves. 🐺
