Beautiful Creatures by Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia


There were no surprises in Gatlin County. We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong. There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave. Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever. Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them. In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

This book was awesome! It grabbed me in straight from the beginning. It is engaging, mysterious, and totally awesome.
Yes, it's big and yes, the size may frighten people. But, don't let it scare you! This books is addicting and meaningful.
I could feel what the characters were going through and every page left me wanting more. Like I said earlier, it was an addicting novel that made me want to keep reading!
I can't wait for Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia's next book!
