Histoire
Mexico in the 1970s is a dangerous country, even for Maite, a secretary who spends her life seeking the romance found in cheap comic books and ignoring the activists protesting around the city. When her next-door neighbor, the beautiful art student Leonora, disappears under suspicious circumstances, Maite finds herself searching for the missing woman—and journeying deeper into Leonora’s secret life of student radicals and dissidents.

Histoire
Marra never wanted to be a hero. As the shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter, she escaped the traditional fate of princesses, to be married away for the sake of an uncaring throne. But her sister wasn’t so fortunate—and after years of silence, Marra is done watching her suffer at the hands of a powerful and abusive prince. Seeking help for her rescue mission, Marra is offered the tools she needs, but only if she can complete three seemingly impossible tasks:

Histoire
The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather’s house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own. Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather’s room. She opens it - and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother.

Histoire
Montserrat has always been overlooked. She’s a talented sound editor, but she’s left out of the boys’ club running the film industry in ’90s Mexico City. And she’s all but invisible to her best friend, Tristán, a charming if faded soap opera star, though she’s been in love with him since childhood. Then Tristán discovers his new neighbor is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he can change their lives—even if his tale of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer fantasy.

Description
From the New York Times best-selling author of Mexican Gothic comes a sweeping romance with a dash of magic.
They are the Beautiful Ones, Loisail’s most notable socialites, and this spring is Nina’s chance to join their ranks, courtesy of her well-connected cousin and his calculating wife. But the Grand Season has just begun, and already Nina’s debut has gone disastrously awry. She has always struggled to control her telekinesis- neighbors call her the Witch of Oldhouse - and the haphazard manifestations of her powers make her the subject of malicious gossip.
When entertainer Hector Auvray arrives to town, Nina is dazzled. A telekinetic like her, he has traveled the world performing his talents for admiring audiences. He sees Nina not as a witch, but ripe with potential to master her power under his tutelage. With Hector’s help, Nina’s talent blossoms, as does her love for him.
But great romances are for fairytales, and Hector is hiding a truth from Nina - and himself - that threatens to end their courtship before it truly begins.
The Beautiful Ones is a charming tale of love and betrayal, and the struggle between conformity and passion, set in a world where scandal is a razor-sharp weapon.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Straddling several genres with elegant intelligence, The Beautiful Ones is both an easy read and a fulfilling one.” (Locus)
"Truly one of the most beautiful books I've read in a long time. This sweeping tale of love lost and found is told with old-world elegance and grace with just the right touch of magic." (M.J. Rose, New York Times best-selling author)
“Moreno-Garcia fills her fantastic novel of manners with sumptuous language and plausible romantic complications in a setting that appears to be based on 19th-century France and is lightly garnished with minor magic.... Readers who enjoyed Mary Robinette Kowal’s Glamourist Histories magical Regency series will be particularly enthralled by the genuine emotions evoked in the course of the unsustainable love triangle.” (Publishers Weekly)

Awful, Sexist, Trite, Incredibly Boring Taradiddle
Ugh, man… It really disappoints me when it’s a female author writes about women so badly and with so much internalized sexism. The entire story is SO boring and SO predictable because it relies on these age-old archetypes that are recycled over and over again to continue to oppress women. Old sexist Chestnuts and not much else. « Love » as written by someone who seems to have learned about it from cheap harlequin books… From a literary perspective this has the merit of any old cheap Harlequin book with a topless cowboy or steamy magician on the cover - it’s THAT formulaic and shallow. I am having difficulty believing that this was written by the same author as Mexican Ghothic.
Mexican Gothic was fun and original - a juicy and fun sort of guilty pleasure read… This is just awful and it’s hard to understand how the writer can’t see what she is doing to women and their stories.
It relies on chiches as old as time, the woman sold off into marriage by her family and effectively condemned to a life of exclusive prostitution makes a convenient villain and her oppression earns her not so much as a breath of sympathy from the author. As far as the archetype goes she’s got it all, she’s gosh darn MEAN, she’s frigid (bad woman, don’t you know women should be PaSsIOnAtE?) she’s vain and greedy and scheming and cruel (we know this because the author is constantly telling us she is). She wasn’t always like that but she was made tainted (Ie sold off) which immediately made her soiled and evil. Got it? If the ridiculous cartoon of a person doesn’t drive that point home the god awful performance sure will. It sounds like the reader is reading a villainess for a children’s book or people who don’t understand words only tone.
By contrast the pure, wealthy and privileged ingenue who isn’t SOILED by financial concerns and realities, cares or life, etc. is clearly meant as a foil to the bad woman. She’s a PROPER female heroine. She breaks just enough rules to be « sassy » (loves bugs! #notliketheothergirls) but most importantly she’s young and innocent and doesn’t need for anything. That means she can’t be motivated by money and since her loving family won’t sell her off into sexual slavery she gets to stay « pure ». Guys she likes books and bugs too - she’s not like ALL the other women (you know those shallow creatures who like hairdos and dresses)? In case that’s not enough once again the reader really drives that point home by making sure you know how innocent and childlike and virginal and pure and bubbly the character is. It’s nails on a chalkboard annoying.
Excuse me a second Sylvia M-G, I think I’m going to be sick
It’s bad - terrible dialogue and terribly annoying performance, lots of telling and little showing, shallow and idiotic motivations and emotions, etc. But it’s not JUST bad… It’s also offensive, SEXIST drivel.
Thanks but no thanks. I made it halfway through and I’m done done done. Not listening to the last half of a book written by someone who had nothing to say when they wrote it, just a Victorian understanding of women.
