Beautiful Creatures by Margaret Stohl, Kami Garcia
3.0
For the starters I really liked the ideas of this book being written in the guys pov in the setting of the Old South. Really captivating the way he sees stuff. Ethan Wate is the bookish type who hides his true form in front of the whole town by fear of being misjudged for being different. That's when he finds Lena, the girl of his dreams and everything changes, he embraces who he really is slowly.
The story is not bad, I liked it, but the fact that they're only 16, actually Lena was as the beginning 15, and they're destined to be in love and fight an evil Caster was a bit of a turn off and less believable. Then it really annoyed me is that they the writer tried to find all sorts of excuses so they would work in the mystery alone and try to uncover the secrets by themselves. And what's that all about with talking in each others thoughts? Really?
Lena's cousin is another stereotype. Hot, dark and gorgeous, with Siren abilities who pops out of nowhere to wreck havoc and do things her style. But mostly, it was Lena who annoyed the crap out of me. A loner, writing poetry obsessively, an outcast not only because people were mean and cruel, she's an outcast because she tries to hard.
I don't know, but there were good parts and bad parts in it. Sometimes I loved it, sometimes I wanted to gag and through my e-reader away.
