A Beautiful Evil (Gods & Monsters #2)
After the epic graveyard battle at the end of Darkness Becomes Her, Ari and her friends know what they’re up against: Ari is facing the Medusa curse and is haunted by the image of what she will become. To make matters worse, the heinous goddess Athena has kidnapped young Violet and is threatening to destroy Ari.
Ari, along with the superhot Sebastian, is doing everything she can to learn more about Athena and to get Violet back. But the battle of good and evil is bigger than she realizes, and she’s about to be pulled into a world more horrific than she could ever imagine....
This is one of those occasions where I really would love Goodreads to have a half star rating as I really feel that I would prefer to give this novel, a sequel to Darkness Becomes Her, 3.5 stars rather than just 3. I did have to go away after I finished this book though and really think about my feelings towards it because they are somewhat mixed.So here's what I liked about this story. I liked the characters. I think Ari and Sebastian are really great as the main protagonists. Their back
Original review posted on The Book SmugglersA Beautiful Evil is the sequel to last years Darkness Becomes Her and it picks up right where the previous book left off. Ari, our cursed-to-become-a-gorgon-when-she-turns-21 protagonist is training to be able to tap into her dormant powers so she can face the powerful Goddess Athena and rescue her father and her friend Violet. She has also been allowed by the Novem the supernatural families that run New 2, this worlds futuristic version of New
I really love the Gods and Monsters series and the world of New 2... the 9 head families - vampires, witches, and shape-shifters, plus the decadence of New Orleans. I'm pretty sad that I don't have the rest of the books here at The Bookworm. My one complaint - could Ari cry more?! She is supposed to be this girl who is going to take on Athena, and I swear, she must have cried 23 different times in this book. Be the tough, ass kicking warrior we need you to be, Ari! She still gets the job done,
We start A Beautiful Evil with Ari learning to fight, because she cant afford to get whooped by Athena. Again. Not when Athena already has her father, and Violet. So Ari learns to fight.Then she decides that this waiting thing is for the dogs, shes going to break into Athenas domain instead of wondering when (& where) Athenas going to show. So off she goes, along with Sebastian and Henri. Only, things dont go quite as Ari imagined they would, and she gets whooped. Again. So now Ari not only
This one started out a bit slower for me than the first one did. I was a bit bummed at the distance between Ari and Sebastian in the beginning of this one. There was a lot of things that happened in the first book that was told about in the beginning of this one to catch you up or remind you which is par for the course for sequels. Overall, I found this one a bit boring, but it did read fast.You can find my official review at the below link:http://openbooksociety.com/article/ke...
Well, where the last one was a 3.5 star that I wanted to round up to 4, this one I just have to round down. I still really like Ari, her voice is clear and I find her easy to relate to. I love the cast of kids supporting her, they really feel like a family. And the sense in the first book of too much of a good thing with all of the differently myths and creatures being pulled into one book worked more smoothly and naturally into this one once they didn't have to be introduced and explained

I loved it! I finished Darkness Becomes Her last August so I didn't remember much when I started this book at first but I still loved it! I can't believe Ari can turn back the people who were turned to stone! The next book is probably going to have lots of Josephine (what a bitch) and Ari bringing Zeus back (can't wait to read that). Keaton left readers at a hangover, that's for sure.5 million stars!!Happy Reading,~Sophie :)This is one of those occasions where I really would love Goodreads to have a half star rating as I really feel that I would prefer to give this novel, a sequel to Darkness Becomes Her, 3.5 stars rather than just 3.
