The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
3.75
This stunning story is set in the regency era with a light fantasy twist. Henry and Nina have some telekinetic powers, but it is never the focus of the story.
Henry comes back to town in hopes of seeing his old flame, Valérie. Instead, he runs into Nina. Soon he finds out she is actually the cousin of his former lover and takes this opportunity to get close to Valérie again. Of course, drama and scandal ensues.
Nina has a lot of social faux pas, but it adds to her charm because she is just being unapologetically herself. Valérie is her beautiful cousin who is seen in high regard. I really felt for her after reading her past and what she had to sacrifice for her family but my goodness her actions escalated quite quickly!
Hector was an interesting character and I really did root for him and Nina. Some of his choices were questionable but he always redeemed himself.
If you enjoy a good regency romance with beautiful prose, then definitely pick this one up!
Thank you to Quercus Books and Netgalley for the arc!
