Unlike many high school heroines in fantasy books, I always knew I was not ordinary. Far from it. Since I was two, I have been seeing angels and demons. Given the gift of battle as a warrior, my role as a slayer often interferes with my role as a normal girl. So no, I was never a typical girl who had just found out she was heir to some magical family or something like that. I’ve been “gifted” … practically all my life. So when my ordinary family moved us to San Francisco to a new school where my father teaches, I didn’t think much of the school. Shadowlight Academy, the most exclusive and posh prep academy for the super rich. I thought I would be there to slay the evil like an undercover superhero amongst the ordinary. I just didn’t think the ordinary would all be extremely unordinary. Especially the three most popular kids in school. Then there’s the hot brooding rebel boy who didn’t seem to fit in, too. Everyone here has secrets, and I am determined to find out what, before it kills me…the entire Academy and even the world. Okay, I might be dramatizing a bit, but yes, from what I’ve barely seen…it could be that big. Better get my game gear on and my entire armor on, because this is going to be one epic battle. But who can I trust?The Beautiful Ones, which rule Shadowlight Academy is known to be both beautiful yet wicked. They’re fascinated with me as I am of them. But who or what are they really, and why do I feel drawn to them like a fly to a spider? Can I escape their beautiful web before I am trapped forever? Do I want to?*The Beautiful Boys is the first in a high school paranormal academy series for mature teens and up. Expect a tough heroine who can take on anyone and anything, with lots of steam literally and figuratively, and a reverse harem romance.

Oh my goodness!!!!! You must one click this! I was given an arc to give my honest review and wow! It is full of twists and turns that will leave you needing so much more! This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I’m hooked on her writing! This was such a good book you for sure won’t expect what happens and what is in store for Lux it keeps you on your toes and turning the pages until the very end!
Who knew that demon hunting could be so sexy? It is in this book! Lux (the MFC) is the demon hunter & her world is chock full of Hot Demons and Angels. Right in the middle of all that are three students – Brax, Asher and Moore who are all drawn to her as soon as she starts at this new school. Which they all attend too. Lust, Laughs and Lies all in one book. Just Brilliant
Shes the new girl at Shadowlight Academy, eyes on her from every angle.
Each with a motive yet to be disclosed. Friend or foe theres a fine line, but which side do they all stand.
She has a secret, but so do they. Each person that steps towards her light is not what they seem..
Dont trust blindly for you will get burnt….
Oh wowsers!! What an exhilarating read! action left right and centre.
Three suiters all vying for her attention. I couldnt make my mind up who I liked the best, both for her and me *chuckles*
Braxton the golden boy, who toes the line and is all that’s good.
Asher who’s known as the bad boy, the rebel, but really hes just misunderstood.
Moore the cocky, suave and sophisticated twin.
Each one appeals in a different way, but I do know that I completely loved Lux!
Shes a total badass she warrior demon slaying goddess!
Fantastic sexual tension, and allure between the characters, and a storyline to die for, what an epic start to this series!
I cant wait for more!!
Fantastic!
WOW! What an incredibly intense roller coaster ride of action and suspense with a whole lot of panty melting moments. I absolutely love Lux. She’s fierce and loyal and can kick some demon butt! The beautiful boys in her life are all so different in their strengths but oh so beautiful and tempting. Never a dull moment.
Fantastic writing. This story grabbed me from the start and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
This is the beginning of Lux’s story. Here we meet Lux who just moved to San Francisco. She starts a new school and Meets Brax, Moore and Asher. She feels a pull to these three guys but is keeping a secret. Well so does everyone else. Moore’s sister Shayne is evil and twisted. The chemistry is hot with Lux and the guys. So what will happen?read and find out. It does start off a little slow but it quickly delves into the story. I love it and can’t wait for the next book.
Another amazing book by this amazing author. Once you start reading this amazing book you will find yourself unable to put this book down. The story is amazing and you will be hooked on it from the moment that you start reading. The characters are so real that you feel as though you really know them and are with them experiencing what they are, and no matter what happens you want to see them succeed. This book is a must read, there is no doubt about it, and once you do you will be instantly wanting more. Awesome.
The Beautiful Boys is the start of new YA RH paranormal series and is definitely more the end mature end for YA.
This book definitely starts off more differently than other books that I have read in any of these genres. The book starts with Lux already having her abilities and knowing who and what she is. It’s not a bad thing, but if you are looking to get any backstory or flashbacks as to how it all began, there is very little detail on that aspect.
Lux is moving and starting a new school. The dynamics between Lux and her parents is very key in how this all plays out. I love the closeness and how must respect is between them all.
I won’t give away too much of the plot except to say that in this book, the boys compete for Lux’s attention. I am not thrilled with how quickly things advanced amongst them but the author does briefly address this up later in the book. There were also times where the characters acted more mature than their ages, but as the book progresses, it all starts making sense and coming together.
I have to say that the first 70% wasn’t enticing as the last 30%. However, the first portion is definitely more plot and character development while the last portion is more action, plot progression and where things really come together.
Overall, this is a very interesting start to the series. I am all-in to see where Kailin takes us on this journey and where Lux and her 3 boys end up.
