Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's world is vivid and rich, with an old south backdrop, lore, and traditions--the setting is really what sets their work apart from the endless options in the paranormal genre. Though it picks up where Beautiful Creatures leaves off, the book covers a good amount of time as Lena and Ethan struggle with conflicting feelings about the night of Lena's birthday, the consequences, and the grief each are experiencing. Ethan's voice is especially strong in this installment, as he has to stand on his own and discovers a whole new world right beneath his own nose. Garcia and Stohl also introduce a few new characters that add new tension between the main characters and open the way to new, surprising secrets about Caster powers and the battle of Light vs. Dark. All the twists, secrets, and surprises culminate in a journey through the Caster tunnels and a suspenseful showdown between family members that will leave some dead, and some very much alive. There might be some confusion as to who is left standing at the end, but one thing is for certain: this story is not over, and readers still have another deliciously thick and dark gothic book to look forward to.Sverigehttp://socialconditioning.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-74949470154655837902012-04-14T09:26:53.038+01:002012-04-14T09:26:53.038+01:00I haven't read this one yet, but I am glad I d...I haven't read this one yet, but I am glad I didn't!Lover of Paranormalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640124867810355828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286698588299607131.post-46385860215839534412012-04-09T21:05:47.703+01:002012-04-09T21:05:47.703+01:00Seriously, I agree 100% with you on everything you...Seriously, I agree 100% with you on everything you mentioned!
