Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl - 563 pages.

i think this book is quite boring, but there are some moments in the book that are fast pased and interesting. overall, the book was okay.

this is the first book that i read which is in a guy's point of view (i didnt know!).

the guy is named Ethan Lawson Wate. he lives in a town where nothing changes. nothing unexpected happens. where the town knows everyones secrets. even the mailman opens your mail first before delivering it and if the news is really bad, he tells you himself. thats why no one bothers to move out and the ones who do move out, never came back. Ethan was the sort of person where, 5 minutes after garaduation, he would be off out of the town. until, he meets Lena Duchannes. she was a new girl in town and nobody ever moved in. she was 'Old Man Ravenwood's niece', also known as Malcon Ravenwood's niece. he never came out of his house. nobody knows wha he looks like or what he does. people think he is just a crazy maniac. so, lena was not respected in school ad therefore not in the 'in group'. but Ethan was. the 'in group' consisted of the cheerleaders and the basketball jocks. emily and suzanne decided who was in the 'in group' or not.
he realizes Lena is the girl he's been seeing in his dreams. one day, she breaks a window and he follows her. they become friends. but then, Lena suddenly tells ethan who-what she is, a caster, beings who have supernatural power. Her birthday is only six months away, and on that day, the book will take what has been given. in midnight, Lena will become either light or dark, but it isnt a light choice, theres a catch.
but, sadly, i cant spoil so you have to read the book to find out.
