Summary:
Goodread Link -- only read if you have read book 1!
My thoughts:
So, pretty much everything I loved about book 1, Darkness Becomes Her, holds true for book 2.
Mythological creatures including Gods, Goddess and characters usually found in dreams and nightmares (and not the decaying urban fantasy playground of New Orleans)? Check! (and a double check for the urban decay factor - I really can't tell you enough how the setting of this book makes this story JUMP off the pages!)
How about vampires, witches, family feuds, ancient curses, magic and heartwarming friendships? Yep! Those are all here too! Fantastically so!
The story that starts with Ari's realization of all that she is and is to become in Darkness Becomes Her takes a few new and unsuspecting turns in A Beautiful Evil. The same characters we fell n love with in book 1 are here along with a few newbies to spice things up. Ari is still fighting the good fight - with kick assery and style I might add. AND the romance that I absolutely swooned over? It's here and it's wonderful and I haven't felt this good in a long time about the way 2 characters make connections the way Ari and Sebastian do. I've said it before and here it is again - it's a NATURAL relationship. No insta love no triangles no WTF moments.
Final verdict:
I'm a fan, I love these series and you should too.
Really, there are so many things that make these books great but you really shouldn't take my word for it, or maybe you should ;)
In either case - you should be running out to get your copies today!
Thank you Kelly!
