Hi Epic Readers! Our June book club book of the month is A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL, a sexy and completely original take on angel mythology from up-and-coming talent Suzanne Young! I'd like to kick things off by telling you all a little about it and then I'd love to hear your feedback on what you thought of the book!

In a nutshell: Fallen angels this is not! A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL is a completely fresh take on angel mythology. Charlotte is one of the “Forgotten,” a rare breed whose purpose is to do good in the life of strangers, but who will eventually disappear in a burst of light and fade from the memories of all those she cares about.Now at seventeen, Charlotte finds the Need has virtually taken over her life, and she’s finding it’s becoming harder and harder to hide these compulsions—if anyone knew about the Need, they would think she were was crazy.

1.) I personally recommend this to fans of FALLEN by Lauren Kate, but who would YOU recommend this to?
Fans of Unearthly, and other angel books.

2.) How does it compare to other angel stories you've read?
It's different, because forfilling each need makes her lose herself more, and become forgotten.

3.) The idea of being forgotten - erased from everyone’s memories - how does that make you feel?
It's scary. I kept thinking about it after I read it, hoping my family never forgets me.

4.) What are your thoughts on the writing style, pacing and imagery?
The writing styles's good. I liked the present tense, also used in Unearthly.

5.) What were your favorite moments?
Well, I liked some of the funny quotes from Sarah. I liked their friendship. I also liked finding out that Harlin wouldn't forget her.

6.) What were your least favorite moments?
When her family and best friend forgot about her.

7.) What grade do you give the cover?
A+ It's amazing, looks like Charlotte and her golden shoulder.

I didn't do an official review on my blog, just a small one for goodreads:
"This book was really good, and a creative take on angels and destiny. It was kind of wierd how Charlotte's skin was falling off and glowing gold. And her being forgotten was sad. But all the situation she was in made it interesting. And Sarah is hilarious. I love the dialogue in this book. So funny. I did not expect that. Wonder what the next book will be like. "
