As always with sequels, spoilers – in this case fairly major – for [[Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl]] and [[Beautiful Creatures: Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl]]; read with care.
Those of you who’ve who've been hooked on this series already will remember where we left off. A choice was made. Everything seems to have been changed. And now, we find, the End of Days is near… Dark characters lurk. Some who we thought (or hoped) were gone, have returned. Other things we’ve not seen before are starting to tear the small town of Gatlin apart. The shorthand way of summing up how terrible things are is to note that Mrs Lincoln may be one of the good guys now…
Can Ethan, Lena, the ever faithful Link (now with super-powers, sort of, at least) and Liv – no longer a Keeper in training after getting involved last time around – save the world? Given the blurb for this one specifically states ''This time there won’t be a happy ending'', it’s a tougher question than it usually is when you’re reading this kind of book.
For further reading two spring to mind apart from the obligatory mention of [[To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee]] which has been a big influence on this series and is such a classic that I can't NOT recommend it. Firstly, if you're looking for another young adult series which is fiercely intelligent and wonderfully literary, [[The Monstrumologist: The Terror Beneath by Rick Yancey]] is the first in a series which is just getting better and better. On the non-supernatural front, the general feel of the world falling apart around a few teens frantically trying to survive here is similar to that in the excellent [[Tomorrow When The War Began by John Marsden]].
