I had fun reading this book, and I was invested in some of the characters, but it got to the point where I couldn't suspend my disbelief. The plot twists were unexpected and exciting, but I felt overwhelmed by the amount of lore in this universe and wish it had be explored more deeply. Too much information, not enough implications. As a side note, I /think/ one of the characters was confirmed as bi. The scene that implied it confused me, but I kept going, because I really thought it was going to be addressed explicitly later. Oh well. He's bi in my heart.

La suite des aventures d'Anouk, familière qui veut devenir sorcière pour sauver ses amis d'une fin atroce. Elle est obligée de s'allier au Prince Rennar afin de rejoindre, au coeur de la forêt noire, l'école qui forme les sorcières.
Mais rien ne se passe comme prévu, et Anouk doit trouver d'autres moyens de régler ses problèmes.
Personnages plutôt subtils, ni tout noirs, ni tout blancs, relations complexes, magie, trahison, pouvoir. Un bon mix pour un deuxième volume qui cloture bien l'histoire.

I loved this story! The way it ended I feel it could continue. I would definitely read a third installment.

3.75 stars. This wasn't near as captivating as Grim Lovelies, especially once I reached the halfway mark & started being able to guess everything that was going to happen & to who. Overall it was a good storyline, just wish it wasn't so predictable.

Midnight Beauties was a great conclusion to the Grim Lovelies Series. I believe that I enjoyed this novel much better than the original. It began where the previous novel left off, with Anouk and her desire to become a witch to save her fellow beasties. She goes on an extraordinary journey and what happens on that journey is not what you would expect. The end of this book rattled me; it was all so surprising. However, the last two chapters felt very rushed and unexpected, which is why I didn’t give the book 5 stars.
