A Beautiful Dark is an AMAZING read!!!! I am flabergasted (a word a don't much use, but I AM!!!)...I just don't know where to even start, i want to say so much and am completely overwhelmed!!...this book is soooo goood!!!.. (i know i've used this gif before, but it expressed just what i feel about this book)So i'm gonna start of with the cover . 
 The cover art is incredible in that it's quite simple but also mystifying and alluring...It looks like it's giving you a clue of what the genre might be but it still has enough mystery that you HAVE-TO find out by reading the book at once. I love the girl's white dress and how her dark hair and the stromy background tie in beautifullly with the cover. it indeed is "A Beautiful Dark" Now that i covered the cover (get it covered the cover...HAHA...ok maybe not so funny after all)...lets fo on to the main character... 
 Skye Parker 
 ok so Skye is a just turned 17 year old orphan girl lost her parents at the age of six and who now lives with her adopted Aunt Jo (who really isn't her aunt but her legal guardian)... Skye so far has a good life after the tragic past she had. She is totally focused on her studies, her task of being a shoe-in at Columbia University, and her friends (Cassie, Dan, and Ian) until she meets to new boys at her surprise 17th bithday party that end up being new students to her school and seem to follow her everywhere. She doesn't want to get caught up in to anything with either boys, but that doesn't seem to be happening as she slowly starts to become more and more drawn to both boys. 
 Now, on to the two 'oh so enigmatic hooowwwttt boys" in this series, not that the other boys in this book didn't have their thing...but thses two are the ones you are going to be going GA-GA for. 
 Asher 
 phewwww (fanning myself) this guy is howwtt!! SO Asher is your typical mysterious flirt with dark-hair and cocky-confidence with a mix of wild-boy-rebel after the one girl who won't give him the time of day.But that's not all, he always seems to be everywhere Skye is at the right time and even at the not so right time (stalke-much?...but he really isn't) and seems to know a lot more about her than he let's on. 
 Devin 
 oh what can i say about this samley howwtt super mysterious guy...Devin is a ice-blue-eyed GOD with beautiful blond hair. I would describe as a guy in check with himself...most of the time he exuberates this tranquil zen like calm atmosphere (total oppisite of Asher. (view spoiler)[unless you put him next to <>Asher and then all that zen-like feeling goes to hell, especially when they talke about anything to do with Skye!! (hide spoiler)] 
 I am jsut on the edge of my seat waiting rather IMPATIENTLY for the sequel A Fractured Light.....I HAVE to find a way to get my hands on an ARC!!!!....This book is freakin' AMAZING!!!!
