I love Renee Ahdieh, her books are simply great, each time I have been transported by the stories she tells. No matter where Renée takes us with her books, it's always a pleasure, whether it's in the East, Asia or even New Orleans. It takes us through time by telling us exciting stories.
The Beautiful was set in New Orleans in 1872, during the time of the vampires. The place is well chosen, mysticism is very present and so is the darkness of the place.
Celine is a young French woman who has fled Paris to start a new life in New Orleans, she is a bit rebellious and will live among the sisters. She will discover the secrets of her new city and even be at the heart of the plot. She will also make new friends and enemies.
I admire Celine very much, she has a strong character, she is independent and she loves life. She never hesitates to say what she thinks even if it leads to dangerous situations. Her meeting with Sébastien Saint Germain changed her life.
I enjoyed the plot around La Cour des Lions, I also really enjoyed the romance. Michael Grimaldi is an interesting character but I don't know yet if I like him or not.
Renée is a talented author and I had the pleasure of meeting her in London at the YALC and frankly it was a pleasure.
