Summary:
This is the second book
in the Caster Series, the sequel to Beautiful
Creatures. It picks up right where the previous book left off. Still in the
small, southern town of Gatlin, Ethan Wate and Lena Duchannes are dealing with
the town’s magical secrets. Ethan is still accepting that people he has trusted
have deceived him his whole life to protect him. Lena is dealing with the
repercussions of her actions that saved Ethan but destroyed her family. The
second book in the series dives into the caster world headfirst. Ethan, the
familiar favorites from the first book, and a few new characters embark on a
journey to save Lena from herself and, more importantly, save the caster world.
Pros:
· This
book incorporated more detailed fantasy elements than I expected from a young
adult book.
· Compared
to the first book, it reveals more secrets about Gatlin which keeps the plot
interesting.
Cons:
· The
romance sections of the book are still a bit cheesy. Although I don’t know if I
will ever find a paranormal romance that isn’t cheesy to me!
Final
Thoughts:
I definitely was not
disappointed by this book! It explains so many of the secrets of Gatlin and the
caster world. I can’t wait to read the next in the series!
