I loved Girl Godesses Queen and The End Crowns All, so I was very excited to dive into A Beautiful Evil.
It's the perfect summer read - a fresh, exciting and fun reimagining, with a slow burn romance, beautiful prose and full of sharp wit.
Bea really breathes a fresh voice into Greek Mythology retellings, and I adored her take on Pandora.
The first human woman, crafted by the Gods and gifted to the Titan Epimatheos. Her purpose to be love and be loved. But this is Greek Mythology. She seems to be failing at her very purpose. Or is she? There's something there, a connection they both find increasingly difficult to ignore. But as that slow burn intensifies, humanity becomes at risk and the end of the world is in peril. What would you do?
The characters leap from the pages, the romantic tension simmers, the stakes are high which makes it hard to put down!
The story doesn't shy away from the dark side of the Gods and life in Mount Olympus, however it is approached sensitively without being gratuitous, and shows how hope can overcome adversity.
It's relatable, it's representative and it has a strong message about being your true self.
A beautiful story 100% recommended, and although marketed as YA, older readers will throughly enjoy this one too!
