Beautiful Creaturesby Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
Ethan has been having strange dreams about a girl - the same girl who shows up in Gatlin. A girl unlike any of the native citizens of the small Southern town. Ethan has to decide what he would give up for this girl - who has strange powers and a background that would scare any normal guy away from her. Not only that, she is the niece of the local recluse, making her an instant target for all of Ethan's teammates and supposed friends. There's more to Lena than meets the eye and a history that first started in Gatlin years ago. Lena has her own choices to make.
I fell in love with the characters in this book - even the not so nice ones. The personalities just swept me up into the plot - even the minor characters that only appeared for a few scenes. Kami and Margaret do an amazing job of sucking you into the storyline and keeping you from becoming disinterested.
I do like that the book was told from the guy's perspective - it made Lena's secret all that more secretive and keeping the readers wondering. I have to talk about the length of the book too - it's perfect. Yes, you think 600+ pages would get old - but I can't see that book being any shorter than that. It may look like an intimidating size for a book, but trust me, you won't want this book to end. In fact, I had to tweet them to make sure they had a book planned after this one (yes, I'm a bit slow lately at book news).
Due to the awesomeness that is this book, it gets 5/5 Roses
Rumor has it that this book is already available at some online stores and bookstores.
*This book was given to me for review by the publisher.
