Moody and the Beast

Shadowvale, Book 4

By: Kristen Painter

Narrated by: B.J. Harrison

Shadowvale isn’t your typical small-town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse.

Exiled king of the goblins Robin Gallow has no choice but to live in Shadowvale. That was the deal he made with his ex-wife and current queen of the goblins in exchange for the antidote to the poison she gave him. Now, the town has become his prison, and his world is closing in on him. It’s enough to drive a man insane.

Theodora “Moody” Middlebright wants nothing to do with Shadowvale or the royal beast she’s about to spend the next year of her life with. But her father owes the man a debt, and he’s too unwell to pay it himself. So Theo has come in his stead. Doesn’t mean she’s one bit happy about it. But then Theo hasn’t been happy about anything since her mother died.

Turns out, Theo’s sharp wit and brash attitude are the breath of fresh air Robin didn’t know he needed, and the two somehow hit it off. But when his trust issues and her secrets collide, their budding feelings for each other are threatened with extinction.

Can Robin learn to trust a woman who’s kept her true identity hidden her whole life? Will it even matter if Theo thinks he’s the beast everyone believes him to be? Or will love give them both a brand-new start?

Beauty and the Beast with a Twist

Great listen, it kept me up wanting another chapter. The reader is excellent at different characters, the accent he uses I really enjoy.

Love

They’re currently fixing a little editing problem
I’ve loved everyone of Kristen Painters books and this one is no exception B.J. Harrison always coming in clutch with his narration.
Thank you

Taming of the shrew, goblin style.

Never knew that goblins could cute, funny, frustrating, and redeeming social value. this book proves that they can. Moody is known for her temper and sharp tongue. Completely unmarriageable, until she moves to Shadowvale, to serve a 1 year indenture for her ailing father. There she meets the beast, traitorous former king of Limbo and beast. She soon realizes that what she was taught about him & believed, may not be true. Her life becomes a fast track to intrigue and adventure. Fun, enjoyable story easy to read and entertaining to hear on Audible. I read some and listened to even more, enjoying both. I recommend this intriguing romance to all in whatever format they prefer.

Another knockout!!!

Painter/Harrison combo always means goodness for me. Author writes amazing stories with characters that I always want to know more about, while this narrator gives them voice to the point you can picture how they look.

Spectacular!

This book was a most enjoyable listen. It was very hard to put down. I loved Theos character best.

Love these books, in classic painter style makes you weep, blush and sigh! Fan for life

Moody little beast

Okay, I pretty much loved all things Shadowvale, but I pretty much love all things Kristen Painter, so it's expected. I've now "read" all books in the Shadowvale series, and yup, I pretty much loved them all. The one I struggled with the most was The Forgettable Miss French because both she and the male character were very isolated until the end, and while they both had some pretty funny things happen it just wasn't quite the same. What I loved about this book besides Moody and the Beast was how the story traveled between realms. The time spent in Limbo is minimal, but it was still there, and thanks to Theo, aka Moody, you get a sense of how things are in Limbo, think Snow White's country under the evil queen's rule. Yes, it's a tad predictable as you know Robin is not guilty of the crime he has been portrayed as committing in Limbo's history books, that's obvious from the get-go, so I don't feel guilty for spoiling it. Last but not least, B.J. Harrison is phenomenal. Favorite book in the series, not quite, that belongs to The Vampire's Cursed Kiss, but this was no less awesome.

Excellent! My. Favorite of Shadowvale!

Mr Harrison does outstanding performances. I think this one was his favorite too.!? Good all around. Excellent build up to Moody. Really enjoyed all of this series. Good job,all.

My fav Shadowvale so far

This was the best of the Shadowvale series so far! All of them have been good, but this one had it all!

Absolutely Wonderful

This series just keeps getting better. I love that B.J. Harrison is narrating this series as well as the Nocturne Falls Universe. This book was so great I couldn't stop listening to it. I cant wait until the next one comes out.
