"There were no surprises in Gatlin County. At least, that's what I thought. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong."
Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful S...more

I was quite interested in the fact that two female authors had written romantic youthnovels from a boys perspective and view. Also, I'm generally interested in magic, fantasy, witches etc - so these books peaqued MY interest directly.
Sometimes I feel it's a bit boring, drawn out - childish. And sometimes it's absolutely great.
I also feel the authors sometimes get lost along the line - the 'red line' - but they soon catch up to it again; mostly.

Just finished the Caster Chronicles. Done and done. Overall, the writing was great, the story was fantastic and I highly recommend this series.
When I first started the series, Beautiful Creatures, I was enthralled. I kept urging my non-fiction reading honey pie to have a listen to Beautiful Creatures. The language is rich, vivid and evocative. I listened to it via Audible and the narration was fantastic. The worlds and creatures, people and places were unique and believable. I liked it that the...more

This is the next "Twilight" series in my opinion. I felt this entire series, from Beautiful Creatures through Beautiful Redemption . I could not put any of these books down...nor did I want to!! I absolutely enjoyed the first book and couldn't wait to read the next and the next. I actually ordered the new paperback (Beautiful Redemption) from the UK, as it had not yet been released in that format in the US. I think it is definitely a good Young Adult book, but I am a 37-year-old mother and LOVED...more

AMAZING!!!
My daughter had me read this series along with her. I enjoyed them but they are different with their combination of fantasy and southern culture. I don't know if it's a cop out that Lena can't decide if she's good or bad or if it's a metaphor that there's good and bad inside everyone. I look forward to reading the last book to see what really happened to Ethan. I was surprised they are making the first book into a movie. Didn't know they were that popular.

A semi-entertaining book that was easy to read before bed. I finished #1 and it didn't have me dying to start #2 so I am going to take a break before starting it back up.
Great book. Now I want to read the whole series. Is nice to read from the normal teenage boy point of view as he date a magical girl with great powers. Very good.
I know, supernatural teen romance. At least there are female characters with real agency here. And it is so southern gothic.
A really great series!! The second book is kinda angsty but if you can get past that everything else is great!
I finished Beautiful Redemtion today. The books are slow but enticing
Libros realmente muy bien escritos ,empezas a leer y no paras !!!!
3rd book is the best! Final book is really great too.
See individual books for proper reviews
Very interesting story:) good characters,interesting plot and magnificent story:)
Haven't yet read the last :/
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved every second!
listened to them on Audible, kept me enraptured to the lives the author introduced me to. Want to see them all as movies!
This series kept getting better and better...th love story between Lena and Ethan show the deep connection they have and the crazy passion that they share. I love the historical component and the imagery invoked from the menus, to the heat of the south, to the history embedded in the story line and the characters...Just Wonderful!
