1872. New Orleans. Vampires. Forbidden love. A murder mystery. Holy moly. Add in the lavish clothing and mouthwatering food descriptions, this is a recipe for a new favorite book.
The Beautiful is beautiful. I don’t always love vampires. I don’t always love historical fiction pieces. They are usually hit or misses for me. This was a hit.
I was absolutely drawn in by the time period and the streets of New Orleans. The characters were captivating. I loved the main character, Celine. Celine is from France but had to leave under circumstances that you’ll just have to read the book to find out about. But it made her a riveting character who isn’t afraid to say what she thinks. She sticks up for herself and others and goes after what she wants.
I want to read more. I want more New Orleans. I want to know more about the Court of Lions and the Brotherhood. Luckily the title and cover of book 2 has just been announced so I just have to wait patiently 😬. It’s important to remember that there is going to be a book 2, because at the end there are a few cliffhangers. This was a five star read based on how much I enjoyed the world building and that I didn’t want it to end.
