Blurb from Goodreads:
From the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic comes a sweeping romance with a dash of magic.
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. But the Grand Season has
just begun, and already Nina’s debut has gone disastrously awry. 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.
When entertainer Hector
Auvray arrives to town, Nina is dazzled. A telekinetic like her, he has
traveled the world performing his talents for admiring audiences. He
sees Nina not as a witch, but ripe with potential to master her power
under his tutelage. With Hector’s help, Nina’s talent blossoms, as does
her love for him.
But 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. 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.
Why I'm Anticipating This Book:
After the success of Mexican Gothic, some of the author's previously published books are being re-published, one of which is The Beautiful Ones.
Having loved Gods of Jade and Shadow and enjoyed Mexican Gothic, I'm really looking forward to reading The Beautiful Ones - the mix of romance and telekinesis is very intriguing and I love the cover!
