Beautiful Creatures

By Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Secrets, strangers, and curses will lure you into the first book of the instant New York Times bestselling contemporary gothic fantasy series, where a stirring paranormal romance unfolds in an isolated southern town.

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.

Beautiful Creatures Reviews

3.5
“2.5 Stars | I want to preface that I have loved this movie for years. It’s such classic romantasy and I was so excited to delve more into its world. It had been a minute seen I’ve seen the movie, maybe a year and a half. But this movie is one that I’ve probably seen over 20 times. Getting into this book was such a struggle, and probably for 80%, I skimmed each paragraph or was not attentively reading. I made myself read this book, probably 18% in, I wanted to DNF so bad. The writing was so unoriginal and expansive that there were so many filler details. A lot of what was included was not needed and I feel that if there were less words, this would have been a more pleasant read. The characters were okay, but the way Ethan and Lena were portrayed was so surface level, it was hard to create an attachment. The only reason I stayed with this book was because I loved the characters from watching the movie. I am so confused on if I want to continue this series. It has been one I’ve wanted to start for the longest, but I was so disappointed in what I read.”
“This was a reread from my high school days and it was so good! I’m not sure why I never finished the series, but I have the next two so I might continue the series finally! I know for sure there’s a movie night in my near future though lol 😂”
