What is it about?
At Gottfried Academy, just one kiss will take your breath away. After Renee discovers her parents dead in what appears to be a strange double murder, she is sent to Gottfried Academy, a remote and mysterious high school dedicated to philosophy, 'crude sciences', and Latin: the Language of the Dead. Here she meets Dante, a dark and elusive student who harbors a deadly secret, but to whom she feels inexplicably drawn. Despite himself, Dante cannot control his attraction to Renee either and their desires gradually deepen into a complex and dangerous romance. But Dante's not the only one with secrets...Gottfried Academy has a few of its own.
My Thoughts
Dead Beautiful is the debut novel from Yvonne Woon and what a rollercoaster ride she takes us on within this novel, which is what I love from a debut novel.
First we join Renee who seems to a normal teenage girl at school who’s life seems to be perfect with the best friend, boyfriend and job. However tragedy strikes with the untimely and suspicious death of her parents. Things change for Renee when she goes to live with her estranged grandfather who enrols her to Gottfried Academy much to Renee’s displeasure. Things at Gottfried Academy are not what they appear to be as the school has many dark secrets of its own. At the Academy she meets the mysterious Dante (who take my word for it is very much the dark mysterious stranger and I fell for him from his first appearance within the book)Throughout the book it had me on tenterhooks, there are so many suprises, I would so reccomend it if anyone wants a dark gothical romance novel, then read it. :)
Overall rating: 5/5 :D
