Beautiful darkness - Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl - 503 pages (2 books)

i like the series, but i don't love it. there are times in this book where it's just boring and all they do is read a book (literally). but still, i think it's worth reading.

Ethan used to think Gatlin was where nothing extraordinary happens, he couldn't have been more wrong. Lena Duchannes, a caster girl revealed him a secret, a secret to the world he never knew existed, there, in plain sight all along. Lena's family has been cursed for generations, by the book itself.

then Lena starts to pull away from him, she even throws branches at him! and jumps at the back of some guys motorcycle in front of him, and he never knew what he did wrong.

he meets Liv, at the library where they work. She's a 'keeper in training' she says, and of course she knows about the caster world. they become great friends and they try to work out what is happening to Lena all this time, why is she pulling away from him, and why is the caster sky changing? together, they, and Link, go underground to find Lena, and where she is going with this mysterious guy, while everything around them changes, from Dark to light, caster to mortal, and of course, the knowing that Ethan and Lena can never be together. but still, after all she did to him, he's determined to find a way.
