I thought this was the book, instead it is just a preview of the book. With it being super short, it’s hard for me to give an accurate review. I am not sure that I would recommend this book.

This was only a sample, but from these few chapters, I can tell I'm going to like The Damned just as much as I liked The Beautiful. Dying to finish the series so I can see what happens to all of the characters.

Thank you to the publisher and to Netgalley for granting me an eARC sample in exchange for an honest review.

I was hooked from the start. The characters are amazingly developed, and the fire between Sebastian and Celine was well-written. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

I love Renee Andieh's writing and The Damned was one more example of why. This was an awesome story and a wonderful follow-up to The Beautiful. Bastien and Celine's story is heart-rending and I can't wait to read more!

Even though it was just a few chapters you could tell this book would be good. honestly I don't have much of an option on this book, because I haven't read it, other than these chapters. But I cannot wait.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to try this book in exchange for an honest review. I really loved reading "The Beautiful" by Renee Ahdieh. This book is the sequel. I really enjoyed the character development of Celine and Bastian, and felt like the characters were right there with me. I did not like this book near as much as the first, but still good.

As the tale unfolds, the background story of each member of Bastien’s unique family is revealed. The mystery surrounding the Court of Lions unravels. Celine now works as a seamstress in a shop with Pippa and two other women. Odette is the benefactor of the shop but Celine has no other memories of Odette or anything surrounding Sebastian. Celine does keep having intense dreams about a man she doesn’t recognize and they make her wonder who he is. Pippa mentions the restaurant Jacques’ and Celine's memories click a little, so she goes to the restaurant expecting answers, only to be turned away and even more confused. As Sebastian searches for a way to be unmade, he learns who Celine truly is and becomes part of the deal to return her to her heritage. Another secret reveals itself and brings the Brotherhood (werewolves) and the Fallen (vampires) to a chaotic frenzy. Fantastic sequel to The Beautiful! 5 stars!

I cannot believe this book isn't a million times more popular. I thought the first book was good but this one had me standing and screaming to the characters when they were acting like idiots. This books is completely going in my to-read again pile. WOW

I have always been a fan of Renee Ahdieh’s works, and this book’s sneak peak has only reaffirmed that point. The world building of this novel is unbelievable; it is so intricate and specific, so it was not at all confusing, I was able to understand the surrounding and setting even through a small glimpse of the novel. Although the book is more character focused, the plot is still steady and kept me interested. Furthermore, all the characters are so interesting and developed. This was a great paranormal read!

Though this sneak peak did not pique my interest as strongly as that of Book 1 in the series, I'm all in. Especially since Book 3 'The Righteous' spotlights the story of Pippa.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

***SAMPLER COPY***
I only read the sampler copy of this book but it drew me in straight away. The characters all sound interesting and strong and the scene set sounds a perfect gothic type read - I can't wait to dig into this book properly as soon as possible!

Whew boy. After the cliffhanger from the first book, this sneak peek saved me! I’m so glad I had the chance to download it. It tided me over until I could run to the store to grab the full book. So far, I’m very interested in what’s happening in the story and I look forward to immersing myself into New Orleans. And, of course, I look forward to seeing what happens between Bastien and Celine. Thank you for this sneak peek!

Loved this sneak peek into the second novel of The Beautiful series. I cannot wait to continue reading the rest of the book, Ahdieh's writing is so addictive and I love her take on vampires, so excited to read more of them!

Many thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for the chance to preview these books, I can safely say they've definitely been added to my Christmas list!

I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next with these characters and how the story will unfold

Loved this sneak peek into the second book in The Beautiful series. I absolutely adore Ahdieh's take on vampires and her characters are all so vibrant and well realised. Not to mention her gorgeous writing.

Very much looking forward to finishing this one! And thankfully there's not long to wait until the third book is released in December!
