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.Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

"Quick reaction: Bleh...I barely made myself finish this book. <i>Beautiful Creatures</i> isn't short on words, but it is short on good characters, action, interesting romance, and anything that really made me feel like I cared about the story. Perhaps if it were about 200 pages shorter, I would have liked it more. As is, I felt like I was slogging through it and it just didn't pay off. I thought I wanted to see the movie, now I'm not sure how they made a movie when it felt like so little actually happened in the book. This one wasn't for me."
