Beautiful Creatures Quote from Book: “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.” The small southern town of Gatlin, South Caroline is ordinary, uneventful and dreadfully boring. Everyone knows everyone and everyone’s business. Ethan is counting down until graduation when he will choose to attend whichever college if farthest away from his hometown. He expects nothing more…until he meets the darkly alluring Lena Duchannes. The monotony of his existence comes to an abrupt end as they discover the historical and supernatural ties that bind them. He is inexplicably drawn to Lena who has other-worldly powers. Supernatural forces threaten to destroy everything they think they know. This Gothic Romance has everything: family curses, reincarnation, witchcraft, creepiness and a little voodoo thrown in for good measure. What’s not to love? If you like Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series you will like this new series. This story is told through Ethan’s eyes from a guy’s perspective. The sequel is Beautiful Darkness. ~ Angela Germany’s Booktalk
