Beautiful+Malice+Review

Beautiful Malice was published June 13th 2010, and is written by Rebecca James. Beautiful Malice is a chilling & enthralling book, revolving around love, friendship, murder and betrayal. It’s incredibly gripping. The book centres on a young girl who has just moved cities to escape a haunting and chilling past. Her youngest sister was brutally murdered and raped. As Katherine joins her new school she befriends the popular and wild young Alice. Though Katherine is surprised by Alice’s sudden interest in her, she is glad to have a friend. But as Katherine grows to know Alice more she soon learns that seemingly kind Alice can have a chilling side as well. The girl is dangerous. As Alice’s actions become more & more crazy, Katherine finds herself being sucked into something that she knows she must escape from. I thought the characters were very believable & even rather interesting. Katherine would have to be my favourite but honestly, I found the most interesting character Alice. She is wild & crazy and yet she’s also dark and chilling at the same time, it’s incredibly gripping. There is a very dark theme to the novel. It’s got a lot of suspense. It also has a reasonable amount of friendship & romance going on; it’s a pretty interesting book to read. The suspense makes it very hard to stop reading, and even more disappointing when you finish the book. I think this book is the perfect choice for teenagers. Any teen with a passion for reading would be completely wrapped with this book. It’s incredibly gripping, & leaves you wanting to finish it extremely fast. I think it would even be okay for young adults/adolescents. The book kept me in a grip the entire time I was reading it. I was actually very amazed at how interesting and thrilling it was. It even has a sort of “thriller” theme to it, but it isn’t even scary. It’s a great book for any teen who loves a good story of love, betrayal & finding out hidden truths. I’d recommend it for anyone within that age group, and I’m sure I could read it over and over again and just never get bored.

I honestly think they should bring out a sequel, this book is just absolutely incredible. A sequel to this book was be amazing, I’d love to read another story of Katherine and her confusing life. I’d even love to see what happens with the new man she meets at the end of the book. It’d be an amazing story to tell.

I’d rate this story 5/5 easily. It was awesome and kept me extremely interested the whole time, and that isn’t very easy to do.

All in all it was a great book and I’ll definitely be watching for a sequel & reading this book over and over again.
