Dangerous Creatures (Dangerous Creatures, #1)

by Kami Garcia

From the world of Beautiful Creatures--the instant New York Times bestselling tale of love and magic.

Ridley Duchannes is nobody's heroine. She's a Dark Caster, a Siren. She can make you do things. Anything. You can't trust her, or yourself when she's around. And she'll be the first to tell you to stay away--especially if you're going to do something as stupid as fall in love with her.

Lucky for Ridley, her wannabe rocker boyfriend, Wesley "Link" Lincoln, never listens to anyone. Link doesn't care if Rid's no good for him, and he takes her along when he leaves small-town Gatlin to follow his rock-star dream. He teams up with a ragtag group of Dark Casters, and when the band scores a gig at a hot Underground club, it looks like all of Link's dreams are about to come true.

But New York City is a dangerous place for both Casters and Mortals, and soon Ridley realizes that Link's bandmates are keeping secrets. With bad-boy club owner Lennox Gates on her heels, Rid is determined to find out the truth. What she discovers is worse than she could have imagined: Link has a price on his head that no Caster or Mortal can ever pay. With their lives on the line, what's a Siren to do?

Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthors of the Beautiful Creatures novels, are back to cast another magical spell. Their signature blend of mystery, suspense, and romance, with a healthy dose of wit and danger, will pull fans in and leave them begging for more.

Reviews

[Stephanie]

I have never eye-rolled so hard at a book. I have never been more annoyed by the writing, dialogue, characters, and (lack of) development. I have never been so thoroughly appalled by a book's ability to create a love triangle for no reason, then attempt to get me to believe it through the (does it even exist?) plot. I had zero expectations for this book, so it could only get better, right? Wow, wow.

Oh, to be back in the lives of Rid and Link again. I loved seeing them in a new setting, surrounded by new and interesting people. The peeks into Rid's childhood exposed me to another side of her and gave her character more dimension. I cannot lie, I sort of liked Nox, a lot, by the end of the book. HOWEVER, the end was cruel. I cannot wait for the next book.
