Notes From Your Bookseller Forbidden romance, mystery, murder and vampires all take center stage in this lushly atmospheric fantasy set in sultry 19th-century New Orleans. When 17-year-old Celine flees Paris for life in a convent in New Orleans, she soon becomes enthralled by a dark and dangerous underworld known as La Cour des Lions led by the notorious Sébastien Saint Germain. This first book in the captivating The Beautiful series will leave you — dare I say, bloodthirsty — to pick up the next. Now in paperback, the first book—an instant bestseller—in the sumptuous, sultry, and romantic YA vampire series from New York Times bestselling author Renee Ahdieh.

In 1872, New Orleans is a city ruled by the dead. But to seventeen-year-old Celine Rousseau, New Orleans is a safe haven after she's forced to flee her life as a dressmaker in Paris. Taken in by the sisters of the Ursuline convent, Celine is quickly enraptured by the vibrant city becoming embroiled in the glitzy underworld, known as La Cour des Lions, after catching the eye of the group's enigmatic leader, Sébastien Saint Germain.

When the body of one of the girls from the convent is found in Sébastien's own lair—the second dead girl to turn up in recent weeks—Celine must battle her attraction to Sébastien and suspicions about his guilt along with the shame of her own horrible secret.
