When I saw this one was up on NetGalley, I could not pass up the chance. After reading and loving Gods of Jade and Shadow, I have slowly been making my way through the rest of her books. Her style and ability to craft a narrative is unmatched in my opinion. I can confidently say that I think Silvia Moreno-Garcia is one of the best writers ever. I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Silvia Moreno-Garcia's The Beautiful Ones is a charming tale of love and betrayal, and the struggle between conformity and passion, set in a world where scandal is a razor-sharp weapon. With Hector’s help, Nina’s talent blossoms, as does her love for him.īut great romances are for fairytales, and Hector is hiding a truth from Nina - and himself-that threatens to end their courtship before it truly begins. He sees Nina not as a witch, but ripe with potential to master her power under his tutelage. A telekinetic like her, he has traveled the world performing his talents for admiring audiences. When entertainer Hector Auvray arrives to town, Nina is dazzled. She has always struggled to control her telekinesis-neighbors call her the Witch of Oldhouse-and the haphazard manifestations of her powers make her the subject of malicious gossip. But the Grand Season has just begun, and already Nina’s debut has gone disastrously awry. They are the Beautiful Ones, Loisail’s most notable socialites, and this spring is Nina’s chance to join their ranks, courtesy of her well-connected cousin and his calculating wife. From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes a sweeping romance with a dash of magic.
