Get drawn into New Orleans and the Supernatural
Cassandra C. - 6 years 1 month agoRenee Ahdieh has done it again! The author of the Wrath and Dawn duology continues to draw in readers. The Beautiful is a period piece that follows Celine Rousseau's choice to flee from Europe to America in search of a new life. Once in New Orleans she made a goal for herself to not be dragged into society norms and marry. As a talented seamstress, Celine has caught the attention of Odette, who inquires about a costume for a ball. When interacting with Odette, Celine is introduced to Sebastien Saint Germain and thus, Celine is thrown into a new world that she had only heard stories of. This story is filled with mystery, betrayal, growing love and friendships. The Beautiful is hard to put down and has carried over nicely into the sequel The Damned, released in July of 2020. There are rumors of another book coming to the series.
