I started reading this series when it was first released on Dec. 1, 2009. I admit that I only read the book because I was intrigued by its cover (Yeah, yeah never judge a book by its cover). Anyways, the series brings about new ideas and a whole new world. A world filled with Casters.
Ethan Wate is the main protagonist in the story and the series is in his POV so far… (there might be a change soon). He has been counting the days until he can finally leave his town Gatlin. However, Ethan’s been dreaming about a girl he has never met…and no, it’s not that kind of dream… His mother died and his father has never been the same since. He’s locked himself in his office trying to write and pretty much dead to the world. Ethan’s best friend is Link and they’re always together.
Lena Duchannes is the new girl in town. She just moved in to the Ravenwood plantation… the scariest house in town. No one ever goes there, but they always talk about the owner, Macon. Lena is instantly hated by most of her classmates (the popular ones) and she’s struggling to control her powers. Then suddenly, Ethan is forced to choose: be a part of Lena’s world or stay in his world.
Will Ethan and Lena be able to stay together?
There are currently 3 books in the series: Beautiful Creatures, Beautiful Darkness, and Beautiful Chaos.
There’s a short story between books 2 & 3 called Dream Dark (Link’s POV).
The next and possibly last book in the series is Beautiful Redemption and it’s not releasing until October 23, 2012.
