New York Times bestselling author Renée Ahdieh returns with the second installment of her new sumptuous, sultry and romantic series, 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 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.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
So I have to start off by saying that I highly recommend you read the first book or re-read the first book before you open this one. I meant to re-read The Beautiful and I didn't and I regret it because I could only recall certain bits and pieces of it. It slowly came back as I was reading, but I know I could have benefited from a re-read. With that said, this book was still great! Picking up shortly from the last book, this book doesn't just follow Celine, it follows multiple characters in the series. We actually don't hear from Celine for a while. A lot of the story comes from Bastien, who is struggling with his new life as an immortal. He doesn't wish to be one and all he wants is to be with Celine, but even that has been taken away. Celine can't recall what actually happened to her. How she gained all these injuries. And when it comes down to it, that is all she wants to know. The truth. Because she is tired of the bits and pieces and really tired of everyone lying to her. The story covers a lot of ground on the supernatural. Lots of revelations. Lots of points of views from different characters and their roles. And after everything went down and what happened, there is just one big question for me. Is there more coming to this series? Honestly, there has to be. The story ended with a somewhat cliffhanger. And when I say that, I mean more like there were still a lot of unanswered questions. Not just about what next for Celine and Bastien, but for the other characters as well. Stories still to be told. I'm taking that as there is more to come and I honestly can't wait.
