Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
Seventeen-year-old Anouk envies the human world, where people known as Pretties
lavish themselves in fast cars, high fashion, and have the freedom to fall in love.
But Anouk can never have those things, because she is not really human.
That is,
until one day she finds her mistress murdered in a pool of blood—and Anouk is
accused of the crime.
Set in a Paris that seems as chaotic as my life right now. A caste system called
the Haute is a hierarchy that seems pretty basic with Witches, Goblins and Beasties.
Beasties are treated as lowly creatures but come to find out they have some abilities
of their own. I loved that concept from the book. Although the whole bad group trying
to control the world with “kids” being able to defeat them seems a bit overdone I did
enjoy how the Beasties were different creatures and not all the same..ie a dog, wolf,
cat and owl.
Beasties are set up like the lore of selkies. They are attached to the fur of their
true form and if that is destroyed then they themselves will perish. It's about time the
Beasties took care of their own pelts and start making a change in a world where
they are not welcomed.
Overall this was a well-paced novel with twists and turns that were enjoyable.
I`m excited to read Midnight Beauties when it comes out fall of this year.
TTFN,
Ashley
