Creeping Beautiful (Creeping Beautiful #1)

WOW! OMG! WOW! and OMG! WOW again!

Adam Boucher, Core McKay, and Donovan Couture have secrets, but they are joined by their past as Untouchables in The Company, and joined to Indie. Adam is on Les Fleurs Island to attend an auction. He wants to make his own team to carry on The Company tradition. He finds a ten-year-old Indie Anna Accorsi. She is a throw away, not valuable to anyone because she is wild, young, and creepy. Adam sees potential. Donovan sees someone to psychoanalyze. McKay cant walk away even though she has the capability to destroy them. Indie is the perfect addition to their team. What exactly is this group up to? The answer to this question isnt easy to reveal because secrets.

Creeping Beautiful is the definition of a WOW story. It is JA Huss at her finest. It is everything I love about this author. It keeps me guessing. The characters are sexy, creepy, mysterious, and loveable. Each chapter is from one of the teams point of view. The plot is intricate and tight, keeping the focus on the characters, while so much action is happening. There are twists and turns that make me nervous and hold my breath one moment then tie my stomach in knots the next until I start to breathe again. I didnt have a clue what would happen from one page to the next, but I knew it would be a thrill. From the beginning, I was hooked, following the breadcrumbs that expose the past, the present, and the potential future.

Creeping Beautiful is a suspense-filled adventure. Huss takes us on a trip back to her wicked Company world with a completely new cast of characters, and the return of some old friends and foes. Expect surprises at every turn. I love that Creeping Beautiful has old characters and events from the past sprinkled throughout; shining new and unexpected insight on what you think you know. This doesnt mean you must read The Company before reading Creeping Beautiful . It is a standalone novel. It is fun visiting this world again with the new and some of the old. There is a satisfying ending with the promise of more in the future. I cant wait for more. A must read from one of my favorite authors.

This story is going to be an excellent audio. I can’t wait to get my copy.

I don’t want to give anything away, so I’m not going to. What I am going to do is just say like, Oh My Goodness.
This story has everything I always loved about JA Huss. My favorites of hers have been the Rook and Ronin/Company/321 type stories. This book ties into that world but can totally be read all on its lonesome.
There’s a girl. There are 3 guys. She loves them all. They all love her. They all care for her in different ways. But she’s not an ordinary girl. And these aren’t average guys. They are the Company.
I loved loved loved this book. There are so many secrets and JA Huss is mastermind at secret telling. I kept thinking there couldn’t be another surprise, but I was wrong! Right up through the epilogue, she was dropping bombs on me. I cannot wait for more!!

Mind blown! To say reading a JA Huss book is easy would be like saying trigonometry is as easy as addition and subtraction. She uses her words to dig into your head and really flips everything around!

Now I have a lot catching up to do. lol

I have read a lot of her stories and none of them come close to jacking with my head like this one. And you know what? I freaking loved it! I love that I now also have to backtrack and really get to know all of these other ‘mentioned’ people. My bad, but also my good. More of Julie scrambling my brain. So, win! If you have read all of those books prior to this then you are way ahead of the game.

I have to say that while I mostly get the characters, I am glad there are more books coming so we can dig deeper into them all. And before that time comes I will be reading up on the others.

If you like your books to the point and with a HEA, then move on. But if you like the idea of more depth, more angst and more to the story then you really want this book.

JA Huss is absolutely an amazing author. She creates these worlds that are so easy to get lost in. The suspense brings agony until the end is revealed. And since we are just getting started on this journey, the agony is real!

I stayed up until 4 AM (And yes I over slept) to finish CREEPING BEAUTIFUL. I dreamed about it and I woke up thinking about it. AND IT SLAMMED ME!!! I think I know what is going on, but is that truly what’s going on? The twists and turns that Huss is known to write has me knotted up. I cannot quit thinking about this book!

Then there is this tree house scene. Whoa.

The EOBS is a chance to see more about the book through Julie Huss’s eyes. What she’s thinking. It just pulls everything together. This one is phenomenal. I absolutely loved it.

Although this book is a standalone, it’s part of a bigger world that I’m positive you will want to jump into if you haven’t already. This is an excellent place to start.

OMG!
What did I just read?
Was it a thriller?
A romance?
Or something altogether new and difference?
All of the above.

All I know is that when JA Huss announced she was diving back into the world of The Company, I was all in. And when she revealed the title, Creeping Beautiful, my imagination started working overtime. When i read it, it was clear that I didnt even come close.

This is the story of a girl assassin ala Sasha and the men who protect, control, and, ultimately, love her. Its lush and disturbing and one of JA Huss twistiest stories yet. The shifting POVs and timelines are seamlessly executed, keeping the reader off balanced but never confused. Like Meet Me in the Dark, this story has triggered a lot of mixed emotions, leaving me unsettled and haunted.

The only thing Im sure of is I WANT MORE.
