Book Description
Publication Date: December 1, 2009 | Series: Beautiful Creatures
There were no surprises in Gatlin County. We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere. At least, that’s what I thought. Turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave.
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.

Review –
This is a story of good vs evil, light vs dark, family loyalty, true friendships and young love, however, the ending did leave me feeling a bit let down. Maybe it’s just me but I was looking for a little more explanation at the end, but that leaves it open to a sequel later. This is a Young Adult paranormal book but perfect for anyone that likes a good read.
This is the second time I’ve read this book and I did it to refresh my memory because the movie will be out soon.
I felt the same about the ending, hopefully there will be more explanations in the sequels! 😀
