Dangerous Creatures by Kami Garcia

4.0

No matter what she says, Lena was meant to be Light. I was meant to be Dark. Respect the teams, people.

I really, really love the Caster Chronicles series so when I found out that there is a spin-off, I can't contain my happiness [OMG! ASDFGHJKL! ] and when I knew that this is about Ridley and Link, my happiness has been doubled [OMG!! ASDFGHJKL!!x2]. Seriously, I did not see that coming.

Basically, Dangerous Creatures is about Ridley and Link and their journey to New York. If you've read Dangerous Dream, you had the idea of what Ridley has started, which, of course, was dangerous to her life and Link's.

Dangerous Creatures is dark, pure dark, in magical way, since we're talking about Casters here, dark Casters. I actually felt the darkness seeping on my skin when I'm reading it. Oh no! It was captivating and amazingly engaging for me and I was left here asking for more. More darkness please. Since this is mainly about Ridley, I learned more about her-- her struggles, burdens, dreams and the way she thinks, etc.-- that I haven't known in Beautiful Creatures. I've got too attached with her knowing these feelings of her about herself and everything she had experienced.

And yes, Link, his humor, as always, is everywhere but you will see a grown Link here. And the romance? Of course, love-and-hate relationship which is enjoyable and quite-annoying (in a good and bad way) at the same time.

Dangerous Creatures devised a new plot, a new story, very different from the Beautiful Creatures. You will see familiar characters, besides Rid and Link, that will play a great part on the story. But there are also new characters who are essential and not just a background there. New friends? New enemies? It's for you to find out.

To make the story short: I am so in love with this book but the ending is a cliffhanger. Goddamnit.


What can I say? Payback’s a bitch. But here’s the thing: So am I.
