Beauty & Rage by Natalie Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beauty & Rage lives up to its name. I absolutely love the atmosphere, eerie, gruesome, downright violent and decadent. The beauty and sometimes erotism in this ambiance absolutlely struck me. Once again, the author created a unique paranormal world, with an intrigue that kept me on the edge of my seat from page to page.

I am still not sure what's exactly happening but I enjoyed the rhythm of this first opus of the Broken Crowns Trilogy. I screamed and cringed, and kept wondering, which is a delight.

The romance part, not exactly a romance after all, is highly sexual, don't seek the feelings, you won't find them here. The connection between the characters will evolve and mature in the next installments, I'm sure.

If you like thrilling stories, strong heroines, ruthless villains, scorching hot scenes, and you don't mind cliffhangers, this book is for you!
