The Beautiful
A young adult paranormal romance quartet set in 1872 New Orleans, where dressmaker Celine Rousseau is drawn into the city's secret world of vampires and ancient rivalries after fleeing Paris. Across four books she and Sébastien "Bastien" Saint Germain navigate love, betrayal, and a war between immortal factions.
The series begins with "Beautiful Disaster," followed by "Walking Disaster," which retells the first book from a different character's perspective. After these, the series continues with "Beautiful Oblivion," "Beautiful Redemption," "Beautiful Sacrifice," and "Beautiful Burn." There are also companion novellas like "Beautiful Love" and "Beautiful Wedding" that fit between the main entries.
The first book in the series, "Beautiful Disaster," has been adapted into a film. This adaptation covers the events of the initial novel.
The Beautiful series is a spin-off from Jamie McGuire's Providence series, with some characters from Providence making appearances or being referenced. It also has crossover elements with her Maddox Brothers series, expanding the shared universe.
