Dangerous Creatures (Dangerous Creatures Book 1)

Margaret Stohl, Kami Garcia — 2014

Dangerous Creatures is a new series set in the world of the #1 bestselling Beautiful Creatures series (NOW A MAJOR FILM) by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Some loves are cursed . . . others are dangerous. Ridley Duchannes will be the first to tell you that she's a bad girl. She's Dark. She's a Siren. You can never trust her, or even yourself when she's around. Lucky for her, Wesley 'Link' Lincoln can never seem to remember that; quarter Incubus or not, his heart is Mortal when it comes to Ridley. When Link heads to New York City to start a music career, Ridley goes along for the ride-and she has her own reasons. As if leaving small-town Gatlin for the big city, trying to form a band, and surviving life with a partially reformed Siren isn't hard enough already, Link soon learns he has a price on his head that no Caster or Mortal can ever pay. Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl are back and casting another magical spell. Their signature mixture of mystery, suspense, and romance, along with a dash of fun and danger, will pull fans in and leave them begging for more.

3.5 Stars I really wasn't sure if I wanted to read this book or not because the Caster Chronicles DRUG ON FOR ME. But, Ridley and Link were the bright spot for me in that series so I pushed on. AND I'M GLAD I DID. This was by far my favorite from this world. I loved the characters and the plot. It was a super fun and quick read. Excited for the next one!

I honestly think that Ridley Duchannes is my favorite character in the world of Beautiful Creatures, but why did it take me this long to realize it? Our blond-haired girl with the pink streaks in her hair has come quite a long way since the first book in the Caster Chronicles. This spin-off series is so far only made up on two books, but it follows her story after the gang parts in Gatlin County. There’s an added bonus of dual-perspectives so that you can see New York City through the eyes of Ethan’s best friend, Link, while he tries make a name for himself in the music world. There’s a part of me that liked the character Nox but I’m still unamused that he was also the one that got Ridley into the current mess that she’s in – let’s not talk about the fact that it was her idea to bet against Nox’s house. The ending leaves you with a major cliffhanger, so I’d suggest getting the second book, Dangerous Deceptions, if you hate waiting to find out what happened to our two lovebirds.
