Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

Beautiful Creatures (Beautiful Creatures, #1)

by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

The first book in a lush gothic fantasy series for younger readers of Charlaine Harris and fans of Cassandra Clare.

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.

I normaly finish the books I start, I don't like leaving them unfinished because I sometimes think they will have a twist and turn good. So here I was, waiting for it to turn good.....and I'm still waiting because I'm in the middle of the book and bored as hell. This book is not only boring, but ridiculous and I'm still wondering how this book could have a 3.78 in rating. And if the only reason you want to read this book is because of the romance part.....I think you would find more love-that is actually not stupid and ridiculous-in a history book.
This girl «Lena» can control the weather, speak to minds and lots of things, and the guy acts like it's normal! The girl appears out of nowhere and is coincedentially the girl that appears in his dreams, and he's like "oh,you appear in my dreams". SOOOOOOOO EXPRESIVE! This book has no feelings except for,well, boringness and cost me 6 dolars, thanks!
So, I do not recommend this book to anybody, and I'm sorry if I made someone upset but it's the truth.
