100 Book Challenge - Book 23 - Beautiful Creatures



Book 23 / 100
Book: Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles #1)
Author: Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
ASIN: B00371V710
Pages: 563

Nothing ever happens in Gatlin, and Ethan Wate knew that all too well, that’s why he was counting down the days until he could leave. At least he had been, until the new girl arrived in town. Old Man Ravenwood’s niece was like nothing the town had seen, and that was just the start.

Lena Duchannes is a Caster, as in Spell Caster, and she’s struggling to contain her powers and dealing with a curse that has sealed the fate of her family for generations. On the 16th moon of their 16th year all the Casters in her family are Claimed by either light or dark. And it’s Lena’s 16th birthday soon.

Inexplicably, Ethan is drawn to Lena, and vice versa. A connection that means that in a town where nothing ever happens, something big is about to happen.

Rating: 4 out of 5 spells. Okay, so I went into this book knowing that several friends had told me it was slow and hard to get into, but I found that it was a captivating story, by a few pages into it I was hooked. I’d recommend it to anyone who has a liking of paranormal romance and magic.
