Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl


Not many exciting things happen in Gatlin. But Ravenwood's niece coming to town has got everyone's attention. Especially Ethan Wate's. The girl who shows up every night in his extremely real dreams has shown up, but why doesn't she remember him? The closer Ethan becomes to Lena, the more tangled up he finds himself in her twisted family. Caught in the world of light and dark Casters, Ethan and Lena start to learn where she comes from but when you spent your entire life thinking everything is unknown, it's hard to imagine that someone somewhere actually knows the truth.
The book started out slowly but picked up pace rapidly after Ethan and Lena actually meet for the first time. I would have liked to seen more of a conclusion. It felt slightly rushed to me and I didn't really understand what happened. But maybe it left off like that and will be better explained in the second book. Overall, it was wonderful and hard to put down. Gatlin is the perfect location for this story and the history behind it is powerful. I haven't read the second book yet so I'll just have to wait.
The characters are exciting. The only people who I would have liked to find out more information were Amma and Marian. The girls like Savannah and Emily are stereotypical but very believable and hilarious. Ethan was a great main character and has a strong point of view. Lena is rebellious in a classy and believable way as well.
