My thoughts on this book pretty much all contradict each other, so you’ve been warned! 😛 Can he find a way to control fate, and will Lena be strong enough to fight for her future?

But there is just one problem, Lena is a caster and on her sixteenth birthday she will be claimed by either the light or the dark and she does not get a choice which. Disobeying the demands of those around them the two grown close and fall in love.

He lives with his housekeeper Amma and his grief stricken father in Gatlin, a town known for its obsession with The Civil War. There are two types of people where he comes from, “the stupid and the stuck”. Lena and Ethan become bound together by a deep, powerful love.īut Lena and Ethan is cursed and, on her sixteenth birthday, her fate will be decided.īeautiful Creatures follows the protagonist Ethan Wate, a southern bound small town teen.
On the sixteenth moon, of the sixteenth year, the book will take what it’s been promised.
Slowly, she pulled the hood from her head…green eyes, black hair. In Ethan Wate’s hometown there lies the darkest of secrets… *Sigh* I just can’t keep up with all these book to film adaptions, there are too many! Seems I am destined to wait for the DVD now. When I discovered the book was going to be released as a movie my resolve finally crumbled ( that, and the fact that someone bought it for me cheap and second hand, lol) and so here we are! Although turns out I’m just a bit too late to see it in the cinema anyway…dang it. Whilst this turned out to be mostly true, there were definitely some interesting elements that made it worth reading. It wasn’t a story that instantly struck a chord with me and didn’t sound all that different from most other YA books. When I first picked up on the hype rapidly gaining around this book, I must admit I wasn’t all that interested. Overall Impression: A nice fluffy book with some interesting gothic imagery – while not defying my expectations it had the ability to make time fly by.
