Oct 11, 2010 Hannah rated it it was amazing

Ok, you know me, I always start my reviews off with rambling on and on about the cover. So, guess what?? Your going to ramble on and on about the cover. Gee, you guys can read my mind. . .Just kidding =) Anyways, the cover is gorgeous. I couldn't figure out what the background was and finally realized(after numbing my brain with possibilities) that it was a tree! Dumb moment for me! I think they did a really good job on the cover of it :) But, I asked some of my family which cover they liked bet ...more

How often do dreams become a reality? This is exactly what is happening for Lena Duchannes and Ethan Wate - only these are dreams they'd rather not have. A species apart, yet inexplicably connected, Lena and Ethan must confront an old curse, long-hidden family secrets, and their feelings for each other...all while in Gatlin, a small town where your business is never your own.

Having lived in a small southern town (albeit without Civil War reenactments), I loved the setting of this book. Between t ...more

Beautiful Creatures will definitely be on my top five of favorite books. I LOVE the fact that it's written from a males point of view and that you can follow it with ease as it was well written. The plot and the descriptions of the lifestyles these characters portrayed kept me well entertained. I found the historical views interesting. Not only did this book keep me on the edge of my seat wondering what happens next, it made me angry, fall in love, laugh and cry. The love between Lena and Ethan ...more

I fell in love w/ this book the moment I got an ARC for it. I've been dying to post a review, but have been asked by Little Brown to wait until it's official release day to do so. This book is full of everything from southern history, love, romance, witty, mysterious and it leaves you on the edge of your seat as you try and figure out exactly who everyone really is and what is really about to unfold in Gatlin County South Carolina. Nothing is what it seems.

So this book was a litttle weird for me. It was not horrible writing or a horrible story but I found myself feeling very indifferent. At times while reading the book I didn't know what was going on maybe it could have been them overly describing or I don't know what exactly.

It took me about a month to read this book. I found myself leaving the book and not thinking about it much. I'm the type that reads a book in 1-2 days. I honestly didn't care what happened to the characters which is a bad si ...more

Great read! Had me hooked from the very beginning. I found it interesting that it was from Ethan perspective instead of Lena's. I'm so use to it being from the females point of view. It made the feelof the book different from most of the young adult books I've read. ...more
