Reviews

[Kim Deister]

My review: Dream Dark is a short novella, but an integral part of the Beautiful Creatures series. This series focuses largely on Link, Ethan's best friend whom I love. The forward motion of the series-level plot doesn't advance too much, the focus being on Link and his story. But learning about Link was more than sufficient!

Things to love about Beautiful Creatures...

--Link. A supporting role within the series, yes, but one that is integral to Ethan's character as well. He is funny and fun-loving and a spark of light in a story line that is often rather dark.
--The bromance. I love the friendship between Ethan and Link. They compliment each other and their is unwavering support and loyalty.

Things I wanted more of...

--n/a

My recommendation: This novella is a link between the first half and the last half of the series and a must read for fans of the series!

This short had a lot of potential, and I enjoyed knowing what was going on later in the story. It was from the point of view of Link (or the Linkubus) who is one of my favorite characters (along side Amma, and the sisters) so I was reflectively excited about this one. I thought that it was a bit over dramatic in the beginning, but for a between-the-books-filler and a short story I thought it was fairly decent.
