sigh.... .... .... ....
I liked 30% of Beautiful Darkness. I loved the 'Sisters,' they are funny. Crazy, old ladies at their best. I loved the cat. The other 70% was pretty much bad. While reading parts of it, I found myself thinking 'you cannot be so stupid Ethan Wade'. :| Then why did I finish it? Well, I kept hoping that it would turn around, that it would get better. Uh not so much. And then by the end, I realized that I couldn't stop reading it because I wanted to get my money's worth. I mean I bought the book and everything.
The book deals with Ethan Wate and Lena Duchannes recovering from the events from the last book. The authors introduce new characters, Olivia "Liv" Durand, who befriends Ethan quickly and the mysterious John Breed, who tries to separate Lena and Ethan. Liv was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise dull plot.
The book ends with questions about where all the characters go from here. No, I won't be purchasing the next book in the series. I might borrow the 3rd book from the library. What can I say, I am a sucker. The story has so much potential to be a good book/series. The authors have created a new and interesting mythology of magic, sadly they just take in a very predictable direction. :/
