4 Stars
On the morning of her sixteenth birthday, Renée Winters was still an ordinary girl. She spent her summers at the beach, had the perfect best friend, and had just started dating the cutest guy at school. No one she'd ever known had died. But all that changes when she finds her parents dead in the Redwood Forest, in what appears to be a strange double murder.
After the funeral Renée’s wealthy grandfather sends her to Gottfried Academy, a remote and mysterious boarding school in Maine, where she finds herself studying subjects like Philosophy, Latin, and the “Crude Sciences.”
It’s there that she meets Dante Berlin, a handsome and elusive boy to whom she feels inexplicably drawn. As they grow closer, unexplainable things begin to happen, but Renée can’t stop herself from falling in love. It’s only when she discovers a dark tragedy in Gottfried’s past that she begins to wonder if the Academy is everything it seems.
Little does she know, Dante is the one hiding a dangerous secret, one that has him fearing for her life.
Dead Beautiful is both a compelling romance and thought-provoking read, bringing shocking new meaning to life, death, love, and the nature of the soul.
Renee was very unlucky on her 16th birthday and on her way home from the beach, she found her parents dead. Their deaths were very strange when she saw the gauze was shoved in their mouths and strange coins were scattered around their bodies, and even though the doctors claim they both had heart attacks and it was a hiking incident... she is certain that the were both murdered. Here grandfather shows up when she hasn't seen him in a long time and takes her away to Maine and enrolls her in a mysterious private school called Gottfried Academy. She becomes friends with her roomate quickly and a boy she met at an assembly... and she also meets a mysterious and gorgeous boy named Dante Berlin. Dante and Renee grow instant attraction to each other but the strange thing is, every time they have a moment and he comes close to kissing her... he doesn't. He can't. Strange murders that are similar to her parents, mystery, action, and romance fill this book and create an exciting new adventure that I adored. I would say that you should give this book a try!
