About this listen

'Whenever I want to read a book I know will be good, I go to Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Her genres are ever changing, her ability to take on a wild story each time is incredible' TAYLOR JENKINS-REID, author of Daisy Jones and the Six

The Grand Season has just begun and already Nina's debut among Loisail's most notable socialites has gone disastrously awry.

Nina has always struggled to control her gift of telekinesis, which has earnt her the nickname the Witch of Oldhouse. When Hector Auvray, the renowned entertainer, arrives in town, Nina is dazzled. He too has a telekinetic talent and sees her not as a witch, but ripe with magical potential.

Under his tutelage, Nina's talent blossoms, as does her love for him. But great romances are for fairy-tales, and Hector is hiding a secret bitter truth from Nina - and himself - that threatens their courtship.

The Beautiful Ones is a sweeping tale of love and betrayal and the struggle between conformity and passion.

An easy listen. A beautifully written story with just enough tension to keep it interesting. A wonderful performance by the VA.

Beautiful, slow burn romance with a hint of magic

An enjoyable novel from start to finish, Nina was a charming character if not a little naïve and I rooted for her from the start. Valerie was a nasty piece of work which ultimately ensured her undoing...hurrah!
Beautifully read by Imani Jade Powers.

chapter 21 at the end of part one is missing

This was another superb novel by this author. She writes such different books and this romantic novel with a touch of the paranormal further cemented her reputation for me.

A truly wonderful novel

The writing was beautiful but it just couldn't hold my attention. I was really disappointed because of how everyone said how amazing this book is. I wish it resonated more with me.

This book ... well where does one start, except to say that it's the best book I have read in a very long time!

The writing is superb so much so that you can smell the roses, hear the flutter of the beetle and see its color.

The descriptions are out of this world and it very much reminded me of Dr Zhivago (without the sadness) and it tore at my heart strings.

It takes you back to a wonderful imaginery Regency world loosely based on France where cars exist and where manners maketh man.

It is not your normal run of the mill love affair but there are broken hearts strewn about and you are captivated from the start and won't be able to stop until the end.

The characters are beautifully drawn, with Hector returning to see the love of his life, unexpectedly meeting her cousin, Nina, who has telekentic powers which he travels the world performing.

There is villainy, goodness, unrequited love, magic and above all, a sense that love always wins in the end.

The narration was superb!

If I could give this book a 10* I would.

This book blew me away!
