Still recovering from injuries sustained during a night she can’t quite remember, her dreams are troubled. And she doesn’t know she has inadvertently set into motion a chain of events that could lead to her demise and unveil a truth about herself she’s not quite ready to learn.
Forces hiding in the shadows have been patiently waiting for this moment for centuries. And just as Bastien and Celine begin to uncover the danger around them, they learn their love could tear them apart.
New York Times bestselling author Renée Ahdieh returns with the second installment of her new sumptuous, sultry and romantic series, The Beautiful.

Rating: 3 Stars
My Review: Where book one didn't grab me as much as I was hoping this one did! I still think that this wasnt as good as her first series that I just devoured. But it was much better than book one. I loved the characters and the setting and the danger and I await more from this author.
