“... In love,
everyone does things that hurt the other person, so there really is no
"Right" and "Wrong". You just have to decide what you're
willing to forgive”
Dead Beautiful
On
the morning of her sixteenth birthday, Renée Winters was still an ordinary
girl. She spent her summers at the beach, had the perfect best friend, and had
just started dating the cutest guy at school. No one she'd ever known had died.
But all that changes when she finds her parents dead in the Redwood Forest, in
what appears to be a strange double murder.
After
the funeral Renée’s wealthy grandfather sends her to Gottfried Academy, a
remote and mysterious boarding school in Maine, where she finds herself
studying subjects like Philosophy, Latin, and the “Crude Sciences.”
It’s
there that she meets Dante Berlin, a handsome and elusive boy to whom she feels
inexplicably drawn. As they grow closer, unexplainable things begin to happen,
but Renée can’t stop herself from falling in love. It’s only when she discovers
a dark tragedy in Gottfried’s past that she begins to wonder if the Academy is
everything it seems.
Little
does she know, Dante is the one hiding a dangerous secret, one that has him
fearing for her life.
Dead
Beautiful is both a compelling romance and thought-provoking read,
bringing shocking new meaning to life, death, love, and the nature of the soul.
Life Eternal
Rene Winters has changed. When she looks in the mirror, a
beautiful girl with an older, sadder face stares back. Her condition has
doctors mystified, but Rene can never reveal the truth: she died last May, and
was brought back to life by the kiss of her Undead soul mate, Dante
Berlin.
Now, her separation from Dante becomes almost unbearable. His
second life is close to an end, and each passing day means one less that she
will spend with the boy who shares her soul.
Just when Rene has almost given up hope, she learns of the Nine
Sisters-brilliant scholars who, according to legend, found a way to cheat
death. She can't shake the feeling that they are somehow connected to her
dreams, strange visions that hint at a discovery so powerful, and so dangerous,
that some will stop at nothing to protect it.
Rene thought she knew the truth about life and death. But there
is a secret woven through history that holds the only hope for Dante and Rene.
Unless they find answers soon, their time together is doomed to be cut short.
Love Reborn
Renée and
Dante are dying. The soul they share cannot sustain them both, and they're
quickly running out of time.
But Renée
has in her possession a legendary chest said to contain the secret to eternal
life-if only they could solve the clues that lie within it. With both the
Liberum, a Brotherhood of the Undead, and a team of Monitors, led by Renée's
own grandfather, in hot pursuit, Renée and Dante must keep the chest safe or
risk having it fall into the wrong hands.
With the
help of a mysterious letter-writer called only Monsieur, Renée and Dante follow
a series of clues that lead them on a treacherous journey across Europe. They
seek the Netherworld, a legendary chasm where souls go to be cleansed. It's
their only chance at a fresh start, but with it comes a terrible choice, one
they never imagined they would be forced to make.
The third
novel in the acclaimed Dead Beautiful series is a haunting story of sacrifice,
loyalty, and a love that can never die.
