The Beautiful by Renée Ahdieh Book Summary

Now in paperback, the first book--an instant bestseller--in the sumptuous, sultry, and romantic YA vampire series from New York Times bestselling author Renee Ahdieh.

In 1872, New Orleans is a city ruled by the dead. But to seventeen-year-old Celine Rousseau, New Orleans is a safe haven after she's forced to flee her life as a dressmaker in Paris. Taken in by the sisters of the Ursuline convent, Celine is quickly enraptured by the vibrant city becoming embroiled in the glitzy underworld, known as La Cour des Lions, after catching the eye of the group's enigmatic leader, Sébastien Saint Germain.

When the body of one of the girls from the convent is found in Sébastien's own lair--the second dead girl to turn up in recent weeks--Celine must battle her attraction to Sébastien and suspicions about his guilt along with the shame of her own horrible secret.

solid read. This was a great read and had an ending I was not expecting. Celine is the heroine of my dreams, I love girl who doesn’t take crap from anyone. My only con for this book was that Ahdieh can go a little overboard with describing a scene. I love the piture it paints but it gets a little crazy if I find myself skimming over paragraphs because of it.

Mediocre Writing. Not enough character development. The flowery writing lacks depth and emotion. The characters seem 2D. Needs to worldbuild without lengthy, useless descriptions. Show us more action, less exposition! Bastien & Celine didn’t have enough time or action to fall in love.

Good. I thought it was a good book that had an ending that I did not see coming. But it felt like it took forever to get there. I also really liked that the book encorporated other languages, but sometimes the book did not tell you what it meant.

Stole me completely!. This book was out of this world! The beauty of the way she describes the scene brings absolute joy!

Hard to Put Down!!!. Okay as a lover of The Originals, Twilight and Historical Fiction, The Beautiful checked all of my boxes. While this was the first novel in the series it sucked me in and sets up well for the continuation for the next book. While there are still so many unanswered questions, which are all annotated in my book, I thoroughly enjoyed being able to put the pieces together as more and more was revealed. Even the main character, Celine, has secrets that are not spelled out until later on into the series. The characters that we meet such as Bastien and Odette are intriguing. While we only see a few of them on a regular basis, it is hard to not notice the love and loyalty they share.

It really is beautiful. This is by far my favorite book. Everything about it is completely and underly obsessive. The characters, the setting, the plot. The authors words melting together so beautifully, it’s like a delicious and tantalizing whisper. I couldn’t stop reading, i finished in a day... :(

Really Beautiful 🌹. I feel like in a series it’s always hard to finish through because the author always drags things out.. but this series is a little different. I recommend this book and I think it’s worth your time to read it. The FL is definitely a refresher. She’s bold and ambitious in a way that ignites and inspires me. She’s not a willowy character who can’t stand her own. She represents women beautifully and this book was amazingly written.

Underworld or Twilight?. “Rage is a moment. Regret is forever.” Okay so, there were parts of this I enjoyed. And other parts not so much. Let’s start with the goodies: 1) Loved the historic New Orleans backdrop 2) Thank you for making vamps a bit more ferocious and a bit less sparkly and kind hearted 3) ODETTE WAS THE BEST CHARACTER ANYONE CAN FIGHT ME ABOUT IT 4) Very happy with the representation of different races and cultural backgrounds. Done well and didn’t feel like the author was just shoving it in there for the sake of diversifying 5) I was here for the heroine slaying her potential rapist. You go girl. Onto the things that kept me from enjoying this more: 1) yawn with the vampire/werewolf clan love triangle. Bastien or Michael oh no! 2) felt kind of like a mix of Underworld and Twilight? But I would have liked more Underworld and less Twilight. 3) it felt more and more like Twilight when I REALLY didn’t want it to. Like, it started so good. We need to give some of those tropes a rest y’all. 4) I didn’t find Celine very likeable. Maybe I was missing her rapier wit, or maybe I just wasn’t into how hot everyone made her out to be. I’m kind of over the overly beautiful heroine trope. I feel like something was missing in her character. 5) the twist of who was narrating the first person chapters was pretty lame. and tbh I could have done without those chapters altogether. 6) aaaannnd nothing really wowed me. I skimmed a loooot the second half just to get this book over with. Overall, it was kind of fun for what it was worth. But I don’t think I’ll be picking up the sequel.
