Vampires are back, and there's no one better to revive the undead than Renee Ahdieh. Set in the vibrant city of New Orleans, The Beautiful already stands out from the crowd. Not enough books are set in the deep South, and the French mythology and culture weave throughout the story. Ahdieh's classic poetical prose envelops readers instantly, with a tension filled pace. I cannot wait for more of this next guaranteed bestseller.
