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.
Definitely liked this one much better than the first one. This one moved a little bit faster than the last. The romance is slow due to the plot line but the action is more abundant. We learn more about the world the characters are living in this time around as well. Some of the previous mysteries of book one that were mentioned with no explanation as to what any of it meant are answered. There's less repetition of thoughts and feelings as well. We don't have Celine going on and on for a full page about the same thing. We actually get more of Bastien's perspective this time and a few others are thrown in as well, which seemed a little out of place even though it kept the book moving. The book ends on another cliff hanger but its not nearly has dramatic as the first book. I feel like it ends but doesn't necessarily leave the reader with wanting more.
