Authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl come together again in this spin off series, Dangerous Creatures. When talking about why they wrote DANGEROUS CREATURES, Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl mentioned that the series was like a gift to their loyal fans. A reward for their loyalty and support through all of the Beautiful Creatures books and feature film. Since fans were always curious to know more about Siren, Ridley Duchennes, and her hybrid Incubus boyfriend, Wesley "Link" Lincoln, they decided to write a new series from their point of view.

After convincing his mother that he is off to a Christian College in New York, Link and Ridley load the Beater and hit the road. Link is fulfilling his lifelong dream of hitting it big with his music. Ridley is along for the ride, but not the reasons that she is telling Link.

Ridley owes Lennox Gates a drummer as one of two markers he won from Ridley in a game. However, Ridley's lies begin to unravel as a Darkness from their past is set on seeking revenge again both Ridley and Link.

DANGEROUS CREATURES also gives readers a glimpse into bits and pieces of Ridley's past. We travel back to her childhood, that helps readers understand Ridley and how her personality lead her down the path of becoming a Dark Caster. It also reveals a bit more about her true feelings towards those around her.

Although this series could be read without having previously read the Beautiful Creatures series, I would recommend reading them first. The Caster world Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl have built with the Beautiful Creatures series is complex. There is enough information to follow along, but I do not feel a new reader to the Caster World will have the full background knowledge established in the Beautiful Creatures series to get the full impact going into Dangerous Creatures. I really enjoyed DANGEROUS CREATURES. Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl created a unique and magical world within the Beautiful Creatures series and Dangerous Creatures DANGEROUS CREATURES is no different. This is an amazing start to a spin off series that is surely to be just as great as the Beautiful Creatures series.

Book Summary

om the world of Beautiful Creatures--the instant New York Times bestselling tale of love and magic.

Ridley Duchannes is nobody's heroine. She's a Dark Caster, a Siren. She can make you do things. Anything. You can't trust her, or yourself when she's around. And she'll be the first to tell you to stay away--especially if you're going to do something as stupid as fall in love with her.

Lucky for Ridley, her wannabe rocker boyfriend, Wesley "Link" Lincoln, never listens to anyone. Link doesn't care if Rid's no good for him, and he takes her along when he leaves small-town Gatlin to follow his rock-star dream. He teams up with a ragtag group of Dark Casters, and when the band scores a gig at a hot Underground club, it looks like all of Link's dreams are about to come true.

But New York City is a dangerous place for both Casters and Mortals, and soon Ridley realizes that Link's bandmates are keeping secrets. With bad-boy club owner Lennox Gates on her heels, Rid is determined to find out the truth. What she discovers is worse than she could have imagined: Link has a price on his head that no Caster or Mortal can ever pay. With their lives on the line, what's a Siren to do?

Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthors of the Beautiful Creatures novels, are back to cast another magical spell. Their signature blend of mystery, suspense, and romance, with a healthy dose of wit and danger, will pull fans in and leave them begging for more.
