5.0

“What you are has no bearing on who you become, Sebastien. Man or demon, that is entirely up to you. It is never too late to chase the better version of yourself.”


I don't think a book could ever be more beautiful than Renee Ahdieh's writing.
This is why I love reading so much.
How a writing, words and narrative have the power make people fall in love with a story.
I love The Damned so much!
The series itself is gorgeously romantic.

I thought I love the first book but The Damned got me even more in love.
I honestly enjoyed the slow burn of the storyline.
The pace of the book keeps me enchanted with the world.

The first book disappointment was not having enough vampire content.
Since it was highly hype for it to be a vampire and werewolf story.
In the second book we definitely receive a more paranormal storyline.
After reading this, I think its definitely a more highly romance focus storyline than paranormal and I am not complaining at all.

I enjoy that we get so much Bastien's POV in this one and of course his squad.
Everyone's POV was so good, I love that the side character's storyline is as interesting as the main ones.
Especially Arjun and Pippa's, I want more of their POV and to follow their storyline.
Pippa is definitely up to something.

I thought I was in love with Bastien from the first book.
I am even more in love with him after finishing The Damned.
There is so much secrets and storyline to from everyone.
Thank god we are getting a third book!
We still need to know about Celine's past, and that cliffhanger!
Bastien's childhood and him being a vampire.

Overall, i enjoyed The Damned so much!
The emotions, action, world building, character building was PERFECT.
