Book Review: Beautiful Darkness

Beautiful Darkness is the sequel to Beautiful Creatures and as such this is going to be a rather thin review because I can't give away any spoilers.

This book picks up right after the last one, give or take a few days, and doesn't cover a whole year, but rather about a month.  The story has a rather focused plot-line and for the majority Lena and Ethan aren't together, which threw a screw into things.  However the new characters, John Breed and Liv, are neither a breath of fresh air or dead-weights, but were certainly necessary.  The old characters all took steps forward, especially Link, and the plot moved quickly enough.  It kept me breathless throughout the whole thing, and so I give it 5-Stars.  Great read, super excited for the next one, but I'll take a slight detour and read Dream Dark first.
