Beautiful Creatures by Stohl Margaret, Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

This book was good. The fact that the story is told from Ethan's point of view is refreshing. It is refreshing to have the male character be the one who is madly in love with the supernatural character. Seeing him fall in with her and his reactions to her world was amazing. I loved how, as the male character, he needs saving but he also saves her. It is definitely a good book!

I wanted to love this book but it just didnt happen. Between things being repetitive, the story filled with meaningless history and other boring narrative, a craptastic love story, shoddy characters, and a not so wonderful storyline, it just let me down.

Also, the ending sucked ass. I can't decide rather on not the other books in this series are worth my time at the moment :-/.

challenging emotional slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I loved it. It has been a while since a series has sucked me into its world to where I could completely block out my own.

So basically I made it to page 120 or so and put the book down. I couldn't force myself to read the rest. I dislike the characters and the way the book starts to unfold. I thought (based on the back cover) that I would enjoy this book but I was sorely mistaken.

Not sure if I will bother reading the next in the series. I liked the southern gothic feel, but some of the story felt like Twilight, with magic instead of vampires.

I think if this book lost some of it's younger reader undertones I would have given it 4 stars. I am a 30 something reading teen fiction so I am being a bit mean. I did consider giving up on it during the first few chapter but it does get much better. Turned into quite lovely story that certainly opens things up for Beautiful Darkness. I did enjoy the fact it was written from the boys point of view.

I first found out about this book after I watched the movie. It did not determine away from reading all four of the books! This first book takes you on a journey of two highschoolers from different sides of the magical universe. When they come together, it is true love in a young sense. The world building is beautifully done, the characters are fantastic and so real. You feel like you knew them in your science class. The magic is nonstop!
