The Damned by Renée Ahdieh

4.0

While I definitely enjoyed "The Beautiful" far more than its sequel, I am fascinated by the world Ahdieh created and how she weaves different plot elements in a way that makes a surprise that much more of a shocker as you read the story. My favorite of her works is still "The Wrath and the Dawn" duology, but this one is a close second, even making me enjoy the YA vampire genre, which I typically despise with a passion. The fantasy elements, the historical elements, the romance - all of this Ahdieh weaves together to create a wonderful world that she is still exploring.
Plus, who couldn't love these covers??
