Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the creative
geniuses behind the Beautiful Creatures series, which is in no way
similar to a
very famous witch novel or supernatural teen romance, are back, this time
with a spinoff of their previous collaboration. The 100% completely
original and creatively named Dangerous Creatures series will star
Ridley and Link from the original series. The first book will be titled,
wait for it, Dangerous Dream. Did you catch it? Did you see
what those clever rascals did?
From GalleyCat “Little, Brown Books for Young Readers will launch the series on
December 17, 2013 with the publication of a digital novella titled Dangerous
Dream. The project will bridge the two series.
The Dangerous Creatures novel will be released
in hardcover print, audio, and eBook formats on May 6, 2014.”
I wanted to like this series and the resulting movie but let’s
be honest, as a KY gal I can only stomach a certain amount of over-the-top
southern racist stereotypes, though, at least the love story was not as cheesy
and vomit inducing as Twilight. The film seemed rushed, though I will say it was
visually appealing, and the accents were terrible even from the usually
talented award winning Emmy Rossum. A least her
character is featured in this “new” series and if there are more movies to come
I can only hope the dialect coaches will be better.
