Whereas The Beautiful is told largely from the perspective of Celine, the point of view changes from one chapter to the next in The Damned. Part of what makes The Damned so enjoyable is its multiple-points-of-view format. Rest assured, if you liked The Beautiful, you will not be disappointed by this sequel. It features brilliant character development, world expansion, romance, and a twist or two for good measure. The Damned is everything I could have hoped for (and then some) in a sequel to The Beautiful. TLDR: Read and enjoyed The Beautiful? Fear not, you’ll like this sequel.
As she pursues the truth, she rediscovers information, as well as unearths a secret that draws into question everything she thought she knew about herself. Slowly, however, hazy memories begin to resurface, and when she encounters Sébastien, she cannot shake the feeling that she knows him and that he is the key to her uncovering what happened to her that fateful night. Meanwhile, Celine is recovering from the injuries that she sustained during the attack against her in the Saint Louis Cathedral, and she is struggling to remember the events of that night. It is only a matter of time before the Brotherhood retaliates. Years ago, his uncle had promised the Brotherhood that no more vampires would be made in New Orleans, yet here he stands – a newly minted vampire. Besides these personal losses, his transformation into one of the Fallen has also broken the fragile treaty existing between his people and the Brotherhood. Now, he must come to terms with the loss of not only his humanity but also the love that he and Celine shared. Picking up right where The Beautiful left off, Sébastien has been turned into a vampire in exchange for Celine’s memories of him.
