And when it does happen, it all hits at once in a seemingly random stream of supernatural occurrences. but none of it had much depth.Īlso, the first 150 pages of this book were a struggle because they consist of moving through different POVs and talking about what they want but can’t have and what they don’t remember and mysterious dark plans that they can’t tell you about *evil laugh* Nothing actually happens, though. There is so much wishy washy paranormal info about vampires, werewolves, enchantresses, ethereals. I mean, when the makeouts did happen, it was deliciously steamy, but the problem is that The Damned tries to get bigger and wilder with the plot and the result is an odd mishmash of mythologies and supernatural creatures. With this book, I really just wanted some Bastien/Celine smut, lol. But the world itself was quite weak, the setting felt nothing like 1872, and the whole supernatural politics aspect was not interesting to me. It was a bit of mindless entertainment and I'm a sucker (ha, pun!) for sexy vampires, let's be honest. To be fair, I thought The Beautiful was only okay. Sadly, this sequel is like The Beautiful but with nowhere near enough sexy vampness to keep it thrilling.
