A magical world makes for a magical read!
Welcome to Orleans! Nothing here is as it seems. Beauty is a valued commodity, and Camelia Beauregard is a Belle, a part of an elite group of women who are the only individuals who can provide for the beauty needs for the world of Orleans. Unfortunately, Camelia soon finds out that beauty that goes deeper than the skin is hard to come by in Orleans, and nothing in Orleans is quite what it seems, including your dreams. I love the world that Dhonielle Clayton built in which to tell this story, and the lessons of the story are quite profound. The experience of reading the book was absolutely magical! I highly recommend reading this book. If you do, may I say welcome to Orleans where nothing is as it seems!
