I had a great time listening to this book. The reader was fantastic! He has the perfect southern accent (reminding me of home - VA), did a great job with the many voices - male, female, old and young. There were even some sound effects, which I've not had in previous audiobooks, initially it seemed odd, but ended up being a great addition and brought you even more into the story.
I loved that this story was told from the boy's POV. With books like "Twilight" and such typically being from the girl ...more

ou 3 estrelas estou indecisa!
Já há muito tempo que não me sentia tão indecisa quanto a um livro. Realmente não sei se gostei ou não. Eu acho que gostei mas por outro lado, o livro tem muita falhas que me aborreceram, pois tinha todos os ingredientes para ser um bom livro.
O livro não me conseguiu agarrar, não consegui sentir empatia com nenhuma personagem, os protagonistas são fofinhos mas irreais, ok que isto é ficção, mas mesmo assim gosto de sentir alguma realidade nos livros. Por amor de Deu ...more

Oh, Beautiful Creatures, we could have had it all.
I heard plenty of mixed reactions to this book; a quick scan of ratings from my Goodreads friends shows a range of 1 to 5 stars. It popped up on my radar because I was intrigued by its Southern small-town setting, and when I saw it labeled as a bargain at Books-A-Million a few weeks ago, I was on the fence about buying it until I read the first few pages.

Hmmm.
I gave it 3.5 Stars b/c:
The story was different,
The male teenage POV was refreshing,
and some charecters were awesome (will love to see the story from Ridlley's POV, that girl is crazy!)
:)
It started real good, but got slower in the middle and i kinda lost it.

This one was easy for me to put down. I really liked the southern mystery of it and the authors did a fantastic job of creating the setting. I also really liked the fantasy elements. However, it was too centered around the relationship and the romance of the main characters for my taste. I wasn't as interested as I could have been. I'll eventually read the next one because I want to find out what becomes of "Lena".

I loved the fact that I couldn't work out what was going to happen in this book - it was different.
