Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

3.0

I liked this one. The pacing was particularly good. The descriptions were detailed but they never took away from the momentum.

I found Lena hard to "get to know" as a character but as I finished the book, I realized that much of that has to do with the fact that even she isn't always sure who or what she is. I'd be interested to see how she develops in later books.

I loved the descriptions of the south. The setting is a true southern Gothic. This was a very enjoyable read with terrific world building and many quirky characters. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep me interested.
