I liked that most of the side characters got to do a lot more in this book, because they‘re still more interesting than the two main characters. My problem with this novel is that every solution just seemed a little too convenient. Instead of the characters really working or fighting to beat the “bad guys,” things just kind of worked in their favor every time.

Usually to me the books after the first are never as good… I am so grateful that isn‘t the case with this series!! I was still as hooked as I was with the first and I am looking forward to seeing where it leads!!

Pretty interesting. I didn‘t like Lena in this book so I‘m glad we didn‘t see a whole lot about her. We are definitely delve more into other characters and the plot is thickening.

I read the second installment to this series a lot faster than I read the first one. Although there seemed to be less happening in this book, it was nice to see the character development, and to meet entirely new characters.
I still love the relationship between Ethan and Lena, and cant wait to see what happens in the third book. Hopefully I can add it to my christmas wishlist.

It was a very long time ago when I read the first one. I like that this series has so many mythical creatures. I struggled maintaining focus with this story since I was starting to loose interest. I might try to give this one another try based on my enjoyment of the first story. I was so tired when I first put this up I forgot to mention it is my #bookspin for April.

This book is a continuation of "Beautiful Creatures". The story didn't disappoint me. I like the mystery and gloom present in the plot! The main characters are again trying to save their love, they overcome obstacles and even sacrifice each other! Their connection is impossible and therefore so attractive! This is a charming book!
✨???♥️

Mindless. Fun. Not particularly engaging but passed the time.

Evening reading

Loved this sequel!!

It brought up a lot of references to the first book and it was well done. It helped explain the current story and bring new information to light.

Can't wait to pick up the next book!

5/5
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

"Green and gold lemon and rosemary, I could smell it through the blood, the smoke, and the ashes: Lena"

I could feel how hard the authors tried to make this book good. Sequels are hardly ever better than the first and this book doesn't break the rule. There was a lot of new lore introduced and a few new interesting characters too. I'm still planning on reading the rest of the series and this book moved the story along nicely.

Love Lena and Ethan. Can‘t wait to read the next book

Finally finished reading this book and what an ending.

A bit of a departure from the first book, but done well. I love my boy Ethan so getting more of his development was nice. This second book expands the world and acts as a bridge to further storytelling. Already excited to read the third. P.S. I read this in 2018 whoops

12-13-18: My 64th finishes book of 2018! 👍🏼📖#️⃣6️⃣4️⃣

Reading chapters in between writing sections of my research paper today. There's a lot more of creative writing in science than you might think 😉

Just hit page 250 yay I‘m half way done!!! Some time I wish I wasn‘t a slower reader but at the same time it‘s nice to be able to process and savior every moment. I just wish I had more time everyday to read. I feel like I‘m go go go all day.

I can‘t I just can‘t!! 😭😭😭😭😭

Lina has an old boyfriend what!!!!!!! I know dumb to realize now that yes she had a life before arriving in ravenwood. And probably boyfriends before Ethan but *jaw drops* why is it hitting like a freight train!!!!!!

#audiosouping part un: homemade chicken stock while I listen to Beautiful Darkness with my sister ♥️ Please give me ideas for soups with my stock!

So I‘m picking this book back up I had stopped at page 76 last time I read it. I have 2 more books after this in the series. Let‘s see what happens. Ps I‘m suppose to be studying but sssssshhhhh hehe

When you go to get your kiddo her free summer reading swag and end up going home with more than she did. 😂 #sorrynotsorry #summerreading #changinghands #bookhaul

It‘s to late to start now at 2am but I can‘t wait. There were no follow up movies to the first so this is exciting. I get to read it with no outside influence. But I wonder why there was only one movie.

I loved the first book so much but this one is quite boring and doesn't look like it holds much promise so I'm bailing so that I don't ruin the first one for myself

#currentlyreading

What can I say...I enjoy reading YA supernatural stories. #highschoolers #backtoreading

Book 2 is finished!! Another great book in the Castor chronicles! We get to learn more about the Castor world and the tunnels beneath the library. Also, we learn of new enemies who will try to bring Lena into the dark, can't wait to read the next one!! 😊❤️

Hopefully, I will make some good progress on these two books today 😁

🌙☀️

Starting the second book today!!! Really excited for what's next and these covers are absolutely gorgeous ❤️✨

13 books read in January, 5 books in progress, 62 to go for the year!

I devoured this one, must faster than the first book. I liked this one better than Beautiful Creatures, I think. We got to see and learn more of the world, and expand beyond any similarities with Twilight.

Oh, and Liv is an amazing addition.

I was going to read a different book and then come back to this afterward, but apparently I'm not ready to take a break from Gatlin.

I ended up liking this a lot more than I had expected. And surprisingly, I wasn't too lost considering it's been three years since I read the first book
