Beautiful Creatures-Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl


This book is about a guy named Ethan Wate who lives in Gatlin, South Carolina, a small town that was part of the Civil War. Ethan meets Lena Duchannes (pronounced Du-chain) who is Macon Ravenwood's niece. Macon's the town shut-out, so they all think that Lena is crazy like him. Lena accidentally breaks the window in their English class and the cheerleader start bs-ing that she broke it with something and that she's violent and that they were hurt by it. Ethan and Lena has a psychic connection and they came telepathically communicate. Ethan goes to Ravenwood manor and finds Lena. The find a locket that sends them vision of the past. Ethan sees Macon for the first time and he's pretty cool, but when they have dinner he seems to have strange powers too. Ethan finds out that Lena's a Caster, which is sorta like a witch. He finds out that on her sixteenth birthday she could turn Dark and forget about him. They spend their days before Feb 11th figuring out how to stop her Claiming.
There's a ton more that happens in this book. I'll tell you about the characters beside Ethan and Lena and Macon. Link, whose mom is head of the DAR (like a pta), is Ethan's best friend. Emily, a cheerleader who hates Ethan, Savannah Snow, who he dated once. . Amma is Ethan's house keeper who does Voo-doo. Ethan's dad is a writer, and his wife, Ethan's mom, Lila died so he's a bit crazy and a shut-in now. There's the Sisters, Ethan's crazy great aunts. Lena's family's even crazier: Ridley's a Dark Caster and a Siren. Reece is a Light Caster and a Sybil. Ryan's....a healer? Larkin's a shifter, and Aunt Del can see through time. Boo Radley's Macon's wolf-dog. That's about it. I enjoyed it and wonder is there's a sequel. Have fun! Go read!
