About this ebook
A compelling paranormal mystery about love...and death.
On the morning of her sixteenth birthday, Renée Winters was still an ordinary girl. She spent her summers at the beach, had the perfect best friend, and had just started dating the cutest guy at school. No one she'd ever known had died. But all that changes when she finds her parents dead in what appears to be a strange double murder.
After the funeral, Renée's wealthy grandfather sends her to Gottfried Academy, a remote and mysterious boarding school in Maine, where she finds herself studying subjects like Philosophy, Latin, and the "Crude Sciences." It's there that she meets Dante Berlin, a handsome and elusive boy to whom she feels inexplicably drawn. As they grow closer, unexplainable things begin to happen, but Renée can't stop herself from falling in love. It's only when she discovers a dark tragedy in Gottfried's past that she begins to wonder if the Academy is everything it seems—and if Dante is everything he seems.
Dead Beautiful is both a compelling romance and thought-provoking read, bringing shocking new meaning to life, death, love, and the nature of the soul.

This is a great book, it started off slow but as soon as she began living at her grandfather's and went to gottfreid I was hooked! I am working on the second one, and I can't wait for any other sequels that might and will hopefully come out!

I can't describe it... It sucks you in, it holds you in... It's your classic average-girl-meets-the-supernatural book. The characters seem so real, you can clearly envision everything happening, movie-style. You can't set the book down!
