Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl


My Rating: 4/5

Blurb:
Is falling in love the beginning . . . or the end?

In Ethan Wate's hometown there lies the darkest of secrets . . .

There is a girl. Slowly, she pulled the hood from her head . . . Green eyes, black hair. Lena Duchannes.

There is a curse. On the Sixteenth Moon, the Sixteenth Year, the Book will take what it's been promised. And no one can stop it.

In the end, there is a grave.

Lena and Ethan become bound together by a deep, powerful love. But Lena is cursed and on her sixteenth birthday, her fate will be decided. Ethan never even saw it coming.

Review:
I've found this book very interesting. The storyline was great. It had alot of thrilling moments and is hard to put down. I did find however that Lena wasn't as gripping a character as would have been expected. This made it hard to connect with her or have that much sympathy. The town it was set in seemed to be trying too hard to discriminate people. Otherwise I loved this book and would recommend it to others.

Sequels:
Beautiful Darkness
Beautiful Chaos
Beautiful Redemption
