Instant New York Times bestselling sequel to The Beautiful
Following the events of The Beautiful, Sébastien Saint Germain is now cursed and forever changed. The treaty between the Fallen and the Brotherhood has been broken, and war between the immortals seems imminent. The price of loving Celine was costly.
But Celine has also paid a high price for loving Bastien. 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 ready to learn.
Forces hiding in the shadows have been patiently waiting for this moment. And just as Bastien and Celine begin to uncover the danger around them, they learn their love could tear them apart.
The Damned, Renée's latest installment in The Beautiful series is just as decadent, thrilling, and mysterious as her last, as she continues her most potent fantasy series yet.
Review
In the continuing saga of The Beautiful series by Renee Ahdieh, set in the dark and decadent world of New Orleans, we meet the fey along with the vampires. Celine spends most of this second book lost in a fog of half-remembered events from book one. As a result, she is constantly driven to make reckless choices to uncover the truth. Sebastien, who Celine sacrificed her memories to save, is haunted by that night. Sebastien, now as a vampire, must come to terms with how to balance the supernatural and his desire for Celine. The author has such a way of painting a picture that you can not help but fall into the story and be engrossed by all that is unraveled and all that is left to be discovered. I am on the edge of my seat for book three, reviewed on the Young Adult Book Central website.
