The third book in the “Beautiful” series did not let me down.

In contrast to the first two novels, Arjun and Pippa are the main characters of Book 3. Pippa is desperate to find her friend and ensure her safety after Celine and Bastien vanished. As part of her quest, she follows Arjun Desai into Sylvan Vale through a hole, where she quickly learns that a mortal is not safe in the domain of the fae. Will Arjun be able to save them both when they are forced into a situation neither of them anticipated?

I thought it was great to see some of the other characters, and I thought Arjun and Pippa had such great chemistry. Although Celine and Bastien are still prominent, the focus of this novel is primarily on the fae realm rather than the vampire realm. 

Like the first two books, this one feels darker, and the world-building and storytelling are amazing, engrossing, and comprehensive.

I can’t wait to get stuck in the next book, and it’s definitely got fans who love the fantasy and faerie worlds.
