Bastien and Celine were put through the ringer and I appreciate that this series installment grapples with those events before moving forward. The Beautiful features one of my favorite slow-burn romances, and The Damned has torn the two lovers apart, breaking my heart in two. If you’re a fan of mutual pining and star-crossed romance, this series is certainly for you. While this review is spoiler-free for The Damned, it may contain spoilers for The Beautiful so tread lightly if you haven’t read the first book in the series.
