Beautiful Creatures

By: Kayla Carrico

            Beautiful Creatures is 592 pages of mystery and suspense. Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl will not let you put the book down. They keep you captivated and guessing and you feel a connection with the characters.
            Beautiful Creatures introduces you to the small southern town of Gatlin, where everyone is expected to have the same exact views and originality is frowned upon. Then enters Lena Duchannes; a young gothic girl coming to live with her crazy reclusive uncle who is nothing like the people of Gatlin.
            When Lena catches the attention of Ethan Wate both of their lives will change. Ethan feels connected to Lena but he can’t explain it. Add that to all of the weird things going on around town since Lena arrived and you get a story full of mystery and unanswered questions. Just when you figure one thing out something else is thrown right back at you.
            Beautiful Creatures is an incredible story that pulls you along in such a way that you cannot force yourself to put it down. Stohl and Garcia do such an excellent job of keeping you interested and building their characters that you feel a connection to them. This can only be contributed to the marvelous handiwork of the two authors.
If you want to take a walk into a world that seems so similar to your own, yet exceptionally different, into the world of Beautiful Creatures.
