Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

"Some loves are meant to be…
others are cursed.

There were no surprises in Gatlin County.
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."
That is one teasing teaser.  It was what got me hooked on the book.
Dark, mysterious and captivating, those were my finally thoughts as I read the last page... Just kidding, although those thoughts did go through my head throughout the book. At the end it was more like, 'Ahhhhh!!!!! Must have more !!!!!' Or something akin to that.  Ethan was a lovable character.  All ways looking after the Lena.  Well, more like, trying to look after Lena.  Lena can take care of her self most of the time. That was one of the things I liked most about the book.  I absolutely love it  when the girl has magical powers. Totally Awesome!  Just as I said in the beginning though, it is dark. Very dark.  Of course you are dealing with powerful dark (or light), magic. So what could you expect?  Ms. Garcia and Ms. Stohl created a wonderful book that leaves the readers begging for more.  I can't wait until the sequel Beautiful Darkness is released.  Oh yes, another thing.  I found that it was really cool that Beautiful Creatures is narrated by the boy which is some what uncommon and very exiting when it is.
