Summary: (from goodreads) A power she can’t deny. A destiny she’s determined to fight.

When Ari first arrived in the dilapidated city of New 2, all she wanted was to figure out who she was. But what she discovered was beyond her worst nightmare. Ari can already sense the evil growing inside her—a power the goddess Athena will stop at nothing to possess.

Desperate to hold on to her humanity and protect her loved ones, Ari must fight back. But Athena’s playing mind games, not just with Ari but with those she cares about most. And Athena has a very special plan for the brooding and sexy Sebastian.

Ari is determined to defeat Athena, but time is running out. With no other options, Ari must unleash the very thing she’s afraid of: herself.

Kelly Keaton has once again delivered with her sophomore novel. A Beautiful Evil begins and ends on high-notes. Many of the qualities I loved about Darkness Becomes Her, I saw and read in this book. The bonus in this book, is that the characters have grown stronger. The detail from Kelly, is still as vivid as ever. You can picture yourself walking down the streets of the New Orleans she has created. I must give major props once again to those behind the cover. This cover is exactly what this book is about. The color tones and drawing are excellent. 

A Beautiful Evil continues after Darkness becomes Her. Ari is now going to school and getting trained by the Noven. They want her to learn to use her power and use it wisely without having to be provoked. All Ari wants is to find a way so she doesn't turn eventually into a Gorgon. Ari also wants to find her father and Violet that Athena took with her. She doesn't have a clue but she will find out no matter what it takes for her to succeed. She is willing to put her life on the line to save those she loves. Ari will suffer so much that it will break your heart. Will this suffering completely break her? or will it make her the fighter she has been trained to become finally. Sebastian is possibly one of the major factors for that heart break, you'll have to read to find out. 

The amount of twist and turns written into this book alone is a good enough reason to read it. You then can throw in the paranormal aspect, Greek mythology and New Orleans to the gumbo and you got a HIT! I love Kelly's story-telling and world building, I know you all will too. There is just something special about her characters and how she writes them, that you are enthralled by them immediately. This series is definitely on the Yara approved list.
