Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl


TITLE:  Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles #1)
AUTHOR:  Garcia, Kami and Stohl, Margaret
GENRE:  Fiction/Supernatural
DATES READ:  3/22/2013 - 3/27/2013
MY RATING:  3/5

Overall, the plot of Beautiful Creatures was good, albeit some parts were definitely predictable.

I liked Lena's characters because she actually appeared to have a brain, and didn't just fall for a guy because he was interested in her.  Dare I say, she actually waited until she liked him?  I also love the idea of the majority of the YA book being from a male's perspective.  It was a nice change!

However, the love story seemed a little forced.  Cue the "I love her" because "she's different".  Heaven forbid!  If that was all it really took for someone to be interested and fall in love.

At least it took them a while to fall in love.  That was believable.  Now, I guess I should see the movie.  The characters don't really look like how I pictured them, but we'll see how it goes.

Will read and write soon!
