Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Courtney Rae

We last left Ethan, Lena, and the little town of Gatlin right after
Lenas 16th birthday. Or as the Caster world calls it, her claiming.
The
choice between Light and Dark was looming over Lenas head, with
consequences on both sides.

Beautiful Darkness starts off days
after the Sixteenth Moon.
We are back in Ethan Wates head, following
him through life in a small town with a Caster girlfriend. But life
isnt back to normal like we all hope.
Lena changed after her
claiming. Pushing the one who loves her further and further away.
Ethan
wants nothing more than to help Lena and make her happy again. He
understands what it is like to lose someone you care so much about.
But
the more he tries the more she pulls away. And now Ethan is hearing a
new song, Seventeen Moons, and seeing visions that relate to Lenas dead
Uncle Macon. What does all this mean to him? And why is Lena acting
like she was claimed and is going dark?

Kami Garcia and Margaret
Stohl are absolutely brilliant. I thought it was going to be tough to
top Beautiful Creatures, but they did it!
I knew something wasnt
going to go right with Ethan and Lena, just that feeling you get when
you pick up a book. But the story line exceeded my expectations by
miles!
You read about your favorites from Beautiful Creatures, but
you are also introduced to some new, very memorable characters.
I was
very excited to see that Link was in it, a lot! I love him and his
studly ways. And he is extremely studly in this one! I almost like him
more than Ethan... almost.
In BD, you will also get more into the
Caster world. Wanted to learn more about the Lunae Libri?
Well, just wait until you pick up
Beautiful Darkness. And when you do, strap in your seat belts, kids.
This read is like riding a wild roller coaster, at night, on Halloween.
Trust me, that is a very high praise from me!
