Publisher's Summary
Ava fell in love the night the Nazis first showed their true nature to the world. A retelling of the Grimms' Beauty and the Beast, set in Nazi Germany.
It's August 1939 in Germany, and Ava's world is in turmoil. To save her father, she must marry a young Nazi officer, Leo von Löwenstein, who works for Hitler's spy chief in Berlin. However, she hates and fears the brutal Nazi regime and finds herself compelled to stand against it.
Ava joins an underground resistance movement that seeks to help victims survive the horrors of the German war machine. But she must live a double life, hiding her true feelings from her husband even as she falls in love with him. Gradually she comes to realise that Leo is part of a dangerous conspiracy to assassinate Hitler.
As Berlin is bombed into ruins, the Gestapo ruthlessly hunt down all resistance, and Ava finds herself living hand to mouth in the rubble of the shell-shocked city. Both her life and Leo's hang in the balance.
Filled with danger, intrigue and romance, The Beast's Garden, a retelling of the Grimm brothers' Beauty and The Beast, is a beautiful, compelling love story set in a time when the world seemed on the brink of collapse.

Fantastisch :-)
Very much enjoyed this well researched story. It brought this difficult historical period to life. This was heightened by the authors artistic flair in descriptive language and creating her own tale within the historical truths.

Thrills. Romance. Shocking tales of Nazi Germany!
This book was captivating from beginning to end. Jennifer Vuletic's narration was fabulous. I chose this book mostly because she was the narrator. She certainly didn't disappoint. The story was gripping and very informative about the evil done by the Nazis. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Fantastic narrator
The narrator is amazing.
The story is very harrowing. The author has researched the story well and is based on real events during WWII.

Great accents! Fascinating story
I really liked the factual base (all the people and events were real with our protagonists superimposed and blended in). Engaging characters and engrossing plot.

An excellent novel based on life in Berlin during
The story is based in Berlin Germany and is about the life of those who opposed Hitler and all he stood for. The story is well written and I was deeply moved by the portraying of live in Germany at this terrible time. The story moves along a a good pace with action and emotion in every chapter. I would recommend this book to all who would like to understand what life was like in Berlin dur ww2.

Fascinating story
This was a compelling novel. The characters and descriptions were well researched. It was difficult to put it down and I couldn’t wait to get back to it. Prior to listening to this story I knew a bit about this topic but this was more descriptive and informative about what happened in Berlin in WW2. It gave me greater understanding of a cross section of the population, their families and friends and their attitudes. I hope there is a sequel. Highly recommended.
