Book Synopsis
From the world of Beautiful Creatures -- a dangerous new tale of love and magic.
Ridley Duchannes is nobody's heroine. She's a Dark Caster, a Siren. She can make you do things. Anything. You can't trust her, or yourself when she's around. And she'll be the first to tell you to stay away -- especially if you're going to do something as stupid as fall in love with her.
Lucky for Ridley, her wannabe rocker boyfriend, Wesley "Link" Lincoln, never listens to anyone. Link doesn't care if Rid's no good for him, and he takes her along when he leaves small-town Gatlin to follow his rock-star dream. He teams up with a ragtag group of Dark Casters, and when the band scores a gig at a hot Underground club, it looks like all of Link's dreams are about to come true.
But New York City is a dangerous place for both Casters and Mortals, and soon Ridley realizes that Link's bandmates are keeping secrets. With bad-boy club owner Lennox Gates on her heels, Rid is determined to find out the truth. What she discovers is worse than she could have imagined: Link has a price on his head that no Caster or Mortal can ever pay. With their lives on the line, what's a Siren to do?
Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthors of the Beautiful Creatures novels, are back to cast another magical spell. Their signature blend of mystery, suspense, and romance, with a healthy dose of wit and danger, will pull fans in and leave them begging for more.

Why am I waiting on this book?
This novel was written by a
dynamite writing team!
Garcia & Stohl did it with their previous
series, and they'll do it again
with this one!
They have a great mix of ingredients
in their fiction, and they know
how to rock a reader's world, so I
definitely can't wait for them
to rock mine -- I want to get in on
this series from the very beginning!!
What do you think of my choice
this week?
What exciting books are you
waiting on?
I rather enjoyed the Beautiful Creatures series and am looking forward to the release of this one too, great choice

ReplyDeleteHi, Michelle!
DeleteYeah, I am, too!! And you've read the original series!! I have to get to those books, and then I can start this new series!!
You're very welcome for my visit and sharing my WOW post! And thank YOU for commenting back!! : )
So, I started to read this series, and then put it down because I have an unfair prejudice about male protagonist / POV. HOwever, it is a really cool concept, and I should probably give it another go. Inspiring pick!
ReplyDeleteMJ @ MJ Reads
Hi, MJ!
DeleteYes, you definitely should!! I haven't read the first series -- Beautiful Creatures -- but I do have three of the books, and will try to get to them sometime this year....lol. I think there are two more in the series. Anyway, when I finish, I want to move on to this spinoff series!
I'll be sure to visit your WOW. Thanks for dropping by and commenting!! : )
I'll be starting books by the authors because they seem to be quite popular. Great pick and thank very much for visiting my WoW!
ReplyDeleteHi, Violette!
DeleteI do the same thing. It doesn't always work out, though, because not all authors click with all readers. In this case, even though I haven't read the Beautiful Creatures series, I HAVE skimmed the first book, so I know it's great stuff!! I have the first three books in the series, too, so I gottta get to them! And then I'm move on to this new series!!
You're very welcome for my visit to your WOW, and thanks for commenting back!! : )
Oooh I want to read this book so bad. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteHi, Jennifer!
DeleteYeah!! I still need to read the original series, but then I want to go on to this one next! Glad you like my choice!!

Love this pick! I still need to finish the original series but I have loved what I've read.
