Beautiful Dead #2
Arizona
There's been no sign of the Beautiful Dead for weeks. Darina achingly misses Phoenix all over again. But surely he will return with the rest of the Beautiful Dead as so much still remains unresolved. It's been ten months since Arizona drowned in Hartmann Lake. Suicide, it would seem. But something doesn't add up.
Drowning herself in a hidden - away lake does not sound like strong, confident, Arizona: Ellerton High School's high-maintenance drama queen. Darina needs to help Arizona the way she helped Jonas. But time is running out...

Seriously who the fuck is marking these books as zombies???? THEY'RE FUCKING ANGELS, GREGG, READ THE DAMN BOOKS
The second book in this absolutely beautiful series. I won't say too much on this until I reread it, because I already put everything in my review for Jonas - read that here.
The writing is simple, but the plot line is beautiful. The characters have development and feel mostly real, and they're wonderful, wonderful characters. I have no qualmsthat I remember about this book, and I highly recommend it! It's a beautiful young adult series, and it's simply stunning. One of those that changed my life and brought me joy and happiness. Let it have the chance to bring you that joy and happiness as well.

Alright, so this is the second in the beautiful dead series, and slightly better than the first.
So the author still hasn't gotten over her focus on weird names. We have to accept that everyone in the town refuses to consider calling their children 'John' or 'Mary'. Oh no, everyone likes Arizona, Phoenix and Raven. Once you struggle through this, the plot reads almost identical to the first. Darina discovers the murderer, confronts him, and the person who lost someone they cared for kills the murderer. Only difference is I'm not sure if Kyle loved Arizona, or was just using her, but maybe some small part of him did. He did seek justice after all, before his memory was wiped.
Flick through all the pointless scenes of Darina and Phoenix making out that has nothing to do with the story (we've established their love is true love, forever and forever blah *eyeroll twitch*) and we have the same story as the first, I'm just more used to the names now.
*shudder* I have the third in this series still from the library, but no the fourth and final 'Phoenix'. Do I dare read Summer, and see a third rehash of the same plot? Maybe, let's see if I have the courage, or, more to the point, the ability to spend an hour reading something purely to get up numbers on my reading challenge.

3,5/5
Na Arizonin příběh jsem byla opravdu zvědavá. Nezklamal.
Jediné, co všechno, jak se patří, kazilo, byla Darina a její skučení, jak moc miluje Phoenixe a jak chce být s ním. Někdo by té holce měl už konečně vysvětlit, že on je zombie!!
....
Příběh Krásných mrtvých je opravdu zajímavý. Pouze ti vybraní se po své smrti mohou vrátit zpět právě jako Krásní mrtví, aby zjistili, co se vlastně stalo, případně aby něco napravili, dokončili anebo úplně zachránili. Mají ale pouze rok na to, aby něco udělali. Potom odejdou, a svou šanci získají další Krásní mrtví. Arizona je právě jedním z nich, a jako ostatní, si vůbec nepamatuje okolnosti své smrti. Sama ale vše zvládnout nemůže, a proto se Krásní mrtví dohodli s Darinou, aby jim pomáhala.
Darina nedisponuje žádnými nadpřirozenými silami a přeci s k této „práci“ dostala. A jak že vlastně? Aby v tom nebyl chlap! Její přítel Phoenix Rohr totiž patří ke Krásným mrtvým! Stal se objetí násilného činu… Jak se to ale všechno stalo? To ani on neví!
Už po přečtení prvního dílu ze série Krásní mrtví, který nesl název Jonas, bylo jasné, že Arizonin příběh bude patřit k těm zajímavějším, dokonce by se mohl stát králem série. Arizona totiž už od začátku představovala pěkný oříšek. Holka, která si všechny drží od těla a nikomu se nesvěřuje? Kdo by se nechtěl o ní něco dozvědět? Zvědavost máme přeci v povaze všichni. A hodně zvědavosti! Její příběh nezklame. Přinese vše, co jsme od Arizony očekávali a i něco navíc.
Knize musím ale vytknout, že celá osnova příběhu se shoduje s prvním dílem. Darina se rozčiluje kvůli Phoenixovi, vyhledá Krásné mrtvé a dostane úkol. Ten se snaží co nejrychleji mít za sebou, aby se zase mohla zabývat svým „vztahem“, ale její úkol ji nenechá spát, dokončí ho zase za pět minut dvanáct, rozloučí se s Arizonou a padne Phoenixovi kolem krku. Pořád ta stejná písnička… Jediné, co může čtenáře tak nějak překvapit, je Arizonin osud, ale žádné větší zvraty nebo jen další zápletky, které by doplňovali hlavní dějové linie, v knize nenajdeme.
Autorka si je ale více jistá v kramflecích a celý příběh podává s větší jistotou. Zabývá se ale pouze hlavním tématem své knihy a na nic dalšího nehledí, takže příběh sleduje pouze dvě dějové linie: Arizonin příběh a Darinin život. A při tom by se tam našlo několik bočních vrátek, které by nebylo zas tak špatně rozvinout.
Darina je jak dvě strany mince. V jednu chvíli rozumná a rozvážná holka, která se snaží pomoci, aby mohla strávit víc času s Phoenixem, Pak jí ale přeskočí a ona se chová jako psychopat a zaobírá se pouze svým vztahem. "Darina" je v těchto scénách strašná, ještě pořád ale vystupuje sama. Na scénu vstoupí její zombie miláček a všechno jde s Darinou i „Darinou“ hezky rychle do kytek. Ti dva se starají jenom sami o sebe a nikdo jiný pro ně neexistuje!
Arizona je rozhodně o hodně lepší než Jonas. Autorka má ale ještě co dohánět na zpracování určitých scén. Jednou za čas se totiž stane a díky bohu, že ne zase tolikrát, že na scénu přijdou „Darina“ s Phoenixem. A vás bude trochu pálit žáha z té umělé „sladkosti“.
Přes to všechno je ale čtenář zvědaví na pokračování. Chce totiž vědět, zda Krásní mrtví mají nějaký hlubší smysl a jak vlastně spolu souvisí čtyři mrtví studenti střední školy, kteří zemřeli v průběhu jednoho roka. Námět knihy je dobrý a zajímavý a všechno do sebe příjemně zapadá. I zpracování akčnějších a dobrodružnějších částí příběhu má jistou úroveň.

Title: Arizona
Series: The Beautiful Dead #2
Author: Eden Maguire
Overall: 4 stars
Suicide is what they ruled it down to when popular girl Arizona drowned in Hartman Lake, but her family and friends, and Arizona herself, can’t accept this. Darina is once again enlisted by Hunter, Limbo overlord to solve the circumstances surrounding her death. But Darina starts hitting brick walls, Arizona was a secret keeper with a secret love affair and a secret brother. However, when she finally breaks down the barriers in her way, she may face some serious troubles and her own life, as well as Arizona’s autistic brother’s life too may be in danger.
Arizona, in Jonas, kind of pissed me off a bit. Pardon the language but in this book she really really grew on me. She seemed, actually almost human in this one. She cared so much about her little brother and even in death, she would protect him beyond belief. I really liked that. She really spoke to me in this book as the voice of reason as Darina was a little bit of butter in the sun, i.e. a melter. She annoyed me so much, along with Phoenix.
*tour guide voice* And on your right you’ll see Phoenix being a grade A prat and Darina taking this emotional abuse from him. She was simply worried about the new guy Lee being in pain but Phoenix decides to believe that she doesn’t love him anymore.
Whatever.
Hunter even grew on me a little bit in this book, if you’ve read my previous review, you’ll understand that I do not like the man one bit. He is inconsiderate to Darina and he’s annoying in his cockiness. However, we get a little bit of an insight into his past in this book and I really liked it, I liked making him seem more human in my head and it left me not hating him completely for a change.
The ending was again, rather bitter sweet but my issue is that it was essentially the exact same story as Jonas. Person dies in mysterious circumstance, Darina finds suspicious people, dead person/other person kills their killer. It’s all just too similar and I really hope Summer is different because she’s my favourite character and if her book is awful I might just scream.

4 hvězdy jsou moc, takže opravdu berte 3,5 :) Ale 3 mi přijdou zase málo, protože Arizonin příběh a celá kniha byla lepší než Jonas. Kdyby nebylo částí, kdy je Darina s Phoenixem a kdy na něj nemyslí (ale ano,i toho jsme se dočkali) tak by to o vážně byla dobrá kniha a Darina by se dala snést!:)

Great story. Absolutly better than the first one.
March 1, 2011
Ok in the second installment of the Beautiful Dead, things are pretty much the same. This time Darina is helping solve the mystery surrounding the death or Arizona, another one of the Beautiful Dead. Arizona isn't all that forth coming when it comes to helping Darina. The clock is ticking and the time is running out. How long will it take for Arizona to let down the wall? Will she do it in time for Darina to find out how she died? In the end Arizona has to choose between finding eternal peace, and keeping her secrets.
So while this book is alittle better, it's not by much. Every time I think I am finally getting drawn in then someone says something stupid. For example: "Then Pheonix used his zombie powers on him and zapped his mind." I was really enjoying the action/suspense scene, but when I read that it was like a reminder saying "hey this isn't believable". Yes I am well aware that it is a paranormal book, and therefore NOT real, but come lets be honest. When we get sucked into a good book the line between reality and fanasty get blurred. You get the butterflies in you stomach, the chills up you spine, sometimes it even haunts your dreams. This book just doesn't do it for me. It really is a shame because it could have been such an amazing book if only the dialogue was better.
The other issue is that this book ended the same way the first one ended. I don't want to give any spoilers but I will say this...it is almost the same story. I would have liked to see a different outcome or a new twist along the way. Also the ending is very nice and neat. It doesn't leave you needing to jump right into the next one. No cliffhangers and if the first 2 are any indacation then I am pretty sure that I already know what is going to happen in the next one.
I will read the next 2 books only because I already own them, but sadly I'm not expecting anything different. This truely makes me a sad panda:(

Güzel Ölüler serisinin ikinci kitabı olan Arizona kaldığı yerden devam ediyor. İlk kitapta Jonas’ın ölümünün çözümlenmesini okumuştuk. Bu kitapta Arizona’nın hikayesini okuyoruz. Aslında benim en merak ettiğim Summer ‘ın hikayesi. O da üçüncü kitapta…
Arizona, gölde boğulduğundan bu yana üzerinden bir yıl geçmiştir. Olay bir intihar gibi görünsede Darina ve Güzel Ölüler öyle olmadığını bilmektedir. Amaçları olayın arkasındaki gizemi ve gerçekleri ortaya çıkarmak. Darina’nın yardımıyla sırlar ortaya çıkıyor
Serinin ilk kitabı her nedense bana daha iyiymiş gibi geldi. Bu da bir buçuk günde bitti ama sanki Jonas’ın hikayesi daha akıcıydı. O yüzden Arizona’nın hikayesini okurken biraz oflayıp pufladım. Yazar her kitapta başka karakterin hikayesini anlatıyor bir sonraki kitapta Summer’ın ölümü ve arkasındaki gizemi okuyacağız.
Okuyacak arkadaşlara keyifli okumalar. Biraz gençlik serisi gibi dursa da kafa dağıtmak adına iyi bir seçim.

This is recommended for the YA lovers. It was great. I enjoyed the first book, and the second book didn't disappoint. I like Arizona's character, although there were times I got annoyed. It was interesting to read about who she was as a person. I liked how we got to know more about her autistic brother, Raven. Overall, a great read. Can't wait to read the next book. Summer...here I come!!!

It took me the first 100 pages to really be into the book. However, I really enjoyed it. A bitter end but an end which make me yearn for the next books!

Dobre 3,5 hviezdičky..... Bolo to minimálne o 80% lepšie ako prvá časť. Viac akcie, viac romantiky, lepšia zápletka a dokonca na konci knihy totálne zahranie na city....

Pretty good book talking about "detective part" of it, but I kind of knew what will happen just thanks to one short passage.. :/ But otherwise it was quite a good story.

I want so desperately to enjoy this series as much as I did the first time around but something isn't clicking. It's so predictable. The romance storyline is sickly, the one hint at a possible issue in the romance and the guy is killed off within a few chapters, at least give me a bit of uncertainty, a bit of jeopardy!! The writing style doesn't exactly grip me either. Two books into my "nostalgic" re-read and I am wondering if I ever actually enjoyed the series or I claimed to enjoy the series because it was "the series" and everyone else loved it. Either way, a questionable choice from 14 year old me. Three star rating but only for the nostalgia.

Was disappointed with this book as it was quite predictable at points and then it repeated a similar thing from the last book at around the same point. I’m more absolutely baffled at the portrayal of autism in this book, lots of harmful stereotypes and considering it’s said that characters have done research on autism I would think things being said would be correct and not just leaning into the harmful and negative stereotypes.
I had previously said I was looking forward to finding the remaining two books of the series, but after this I’d be quite content just googling what happens to the characters

Dalsi dil ze serie je za mnou... A i tentokrat jsem si cteni uzila...
Arizonin pribeh byl uplne jiny nez Jonasuv...
Dozvedeli jsme se proc je Arizona tak ledova a uzavrena. Odhalily jsme její tajemství a ze jich nebylo malo...
Nejsem si jistá, ktery dil me bavil vic, ale u Jonase mi to prislo vic rozpracovane.
A zaver me překvapil, ale tipovala jsem spravne, kdo za vsechno mohl...

Basically, the same book as the previous one, but with a different main character. This time, Darina is trying to find out what happened to Arizona. Sure, the spotlight was first directed to another possible suspect but in the end it was not exactly the one from the beginning. Still, it didn’t impress me. Maybe if I was 8-10 years old I might have liked it, but I’m not even sure I would have then either

I think I read the first book a while back but I can't remember it.
This was an okay book and I did enjoy unraveling the mystery of Arizona's death but she wasn't a very deep character. In fact, I found that many of the characters fell flat and I really didn't connect with them. It lead me to not enjoy the book as much as I had hoped.

A really enjoyable follow up to the first book in the series! I love how each character faces their own demons and how you see the journey evolve through the authors writing!
Really excited to get stuck into the 3rd book!

It's been years since I've read this series. This one is a bit too similar to the first one, and I can see the series becoming formulaic. It's a nice twist on the generic detective story though.
