Authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl come together
again in this spin off series, Dangerous Creatures.
When
talking about why they wrote DANGEROUS CREATURES, Kami
Garcia and Margaret Stohl mentioned that the series was
like a gift to their loyal fans. A reward for their
loyalty and support through all of the Beautiful
Creatures books and feature film. Since fans were always
curious to know more about Siren, Ridley Duchennes, and
her hybrid Incubus boyfriend, Wesley "Link" Lincoln, they
decided to write a new series from their point of view.
After convincing his mother that he is off to a Christian
College in New York, Link and Ridley load the Beater and
hit the road. Link is fulfilling his lifelong dream of
hitting it big with his music. Ridley is along for the
ride, but not the reasons that she is telling Link.
Ridley owes Lennox Gates a drummer as one of two markers
he won from Ridley in a game. However, Ridley's lies
begin to unravel as a Darkness from their past is set on
seeking revenge again both Ridley and Link.
DANGEROUS CREATURES also gives readers a glimpse into
bits and pieces of Ridley's past. We travel back to her
childhood, that helps readers understand Ridley and how
her personality lead her down the path of becoming a Dark
Caster. It also reveals a bit more about her true
feelings towards those around her.
Although this series could be read without having
previously read the Beautiful Creatures series, I
would
recommend reading them first. The Caster world Kami
Garcia and Margaret Stohl have built with the Beautiful
Creatures series is complex. There is enough information
to follow along, but I do not feel a new reader to the
Caster World will have the full background knowledge
established in the Beautiful Creatures series to
get the
full impact going into Dangerous Creatures. I really
enjoyed DANGEROUS CREATURES. Kami Garcia and Margaret
Stohl created a unique and magical world within the
Beautiful Creatures series and Dangerous Creatures
DANGEROUS CREATURES is no
different. This is an amazing start to a spin off
series that is surely to be just as great as the
Beautiful Creatures series.
om the world of Beautiful Creatures--the instant New York
Times bestselling tale of love and magic.
Ridley Duchannes is nobody's heroine. She's a Dark Caster,
a Siren. She can make you do things. Anything. You can't
trust her, or yourself when she's around. And she'll be
the first to tell you to stay away--especially if you're
going to do something as stupid as fall in love with her.
Lucky for Ridley, her wannabe rocker boyfriend, Wesley
"Link" Lincoln, never listens to anyone. Link doesn't care
if Rid's no good for him, and he takes her along when he
leaves small-town Gatlin to follow his rock-star dream. He
teams up with a ragtag group of Dark Casters, and when the
band scores a gig at a hot Underground club, it looks like
all of Link's dreams are about to come true.
But New York City is a dangerous place for both Casters
and Mortals, and soon Ridley realizes that Link's
bandmates are keeping secrets. With bad-boy club owner
Lennox Gates on her heels, Rid is determined to find out
the truth. What she discovers is worse than she could have
imagined: Link has a price on his head that no Caster or
Mortal can ever pay. With their lives on the line, what's
a Siren to do?
Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the #1 New York Times
bestselling coauthors of the Beautiful Creatures novels,
are back to cast another magical spell. Their signature
blend of mystery, suspense, and romance, with a healthy
dose of wit and danger, will pull fans in and leave them
begging for more.
