4/5 Stars 🌟
Awful Intentions is book 2 in the Celestial Bodies series which is a New Adult Series with hints of fantasy, paranormal, mythological and astrological themes in a modern setting. This book picks up where Awful Curse (book 1) ends and has all the characters dealing with everything that went down in book 1. This is Luna & Nyx's story but you still get a lot of insight from the previous characters we've all grown to love/hate
Luna is lost, broken, confused and trying to figure out what type of person she is meant to be morally and mentally. She no longer fits inside the box she had created for herself and is somewhat afraid of what she may be capable of as well as what consequences she may suffer for what she did. She was incredibly frustrating and naive making one bad decision after another but ultimately she was such a strong, powerful, badass girl who was maybe just a little bit crazy, the good kind of crazy. It took me longer to connect with her as a lot of the time I just wanted to smack some sense into her but knew she was on a path to finding her true self and I just needed to be patient with her.
Nyx was instense, wild, dark, dangerously adventurous, unapologetic while also being frustrating, stubborn and short tempered but boy did I love him.
Luna & Nyx had insane chemistry and passion between them even though they both did and said things that annoyed each other (and me) I still loved their messy, complicated and at times infuriating story.
Awful Intentions was a great story with amazing atmosphere though the tone and feel of it felt different from book 1 which I appreciate as this part of the story felt new yet familiar. Elena also has a way to get you hooked and obsessed with the side characters and by the end leaves you begging for their stories ASAP. I can't wait to see what she does next.

I didn't
know I was so set on truths until I realized my whole life was a lie.
Being
banished to Arcadia Prep.
The myths
we though were just empty threats meant to iron out bad behavior.
All of it
was a neatly packaged lie.
Hell raged
in the pit of my stomach and now we were free to wreak havoc on humanity.
LUNA
The truth
was simple: I was a good girl meant to heal the wounded and help uphold the
truth.
I'm the one
who tore the truth down.
I stomped
on it and set it on fire.
I did
everything that didn't add up to the me I cultivated.
I was a
perfectly packaged lie.

Author Bio
Elena Monroe
grew up in Florida scribbling down stories from a very young age. These stories
were really just wavy lines filling the paper, but she knew each word, each
emotion, each character's name, and there was no tricking her into forgetting
what each line signified. Just like her unconventional way of writing as a
toddler Elena is setting her own rules and just telling stories.
Much like her debut novel, The Best Years, life certainly imitated art. Transplanting from the South to the East Coast, Elena currently lives in Connecticut with her soon to be husband, reformed bad boy.
