Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

Hey everyone!!
So, today's review is gonna be about the book which I finished just a few hours ago....which is Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. I know I was supposed to write a review about The Scorch Trials but I'm sorry! I don't know why but all of a sudden I don't feel like continuing with that book. It's not that it is boring. Hell, no it isn't but I think I have a reader's block or something (if there is something like that).... Haven't you ever experienced it? When you really, really desperately want to read a book but can't bring yourself to read it? Or is it just me? Anyway so when I last wrote a review (The Search for Cinderella) I was also reading Beautiful Creatures at the time. And now I've finished reading it. So, let's get to the review shall we?

As always, if you haven't read this book and are planning to, please do not read ahead because there may or may not be a lot of spoilers...

I liked the book. I really, really liked the book. I wasn't expecting it to be this good cause I have a friend who read it and didn't particularly like it very much and I trust her opinion about books a lot, but where she hadn't liked the book, well I did. Maybe you noticed that even though I keep saying I really liked the book I never said I loved the book. I don't know why but it is the sort of book that even though I really enjoyed it, very much, I wouldn't say I loved it. I don't know why, I just liked it very, very much.

Of course, there were some really emotional scenes like Macon Ravenwood's and Ethan's (initial) deaths, where I obviously cried. I don't think I expected Ethan to die (he didn't though). I don't know what I was expecting, maybe Lena going Dark? Yes. I was kinda expecting that, but never did it cross my mind that the vision they saw when they touched the locket would replay itself exactly in modern times with Lena and Ethan Lawson Wate instead of Genevieve and Ethan Carter Wate. Except everything didn't go just like it did before. This time she brought Ethan to life again, completely and not just for a few seconds and what was taken from her in return was her uncle.

So, I really liked this book and I give it 4.5/5 stars.  I can't wait to read the next one Beautiful Darkness. But I'm (hopefully) not gonna start that until I've finished with all the other books I'm currently reading also. Which are:The Book Thief and The Scorch Trials and (I don't know if I can include it but) also The Search for Cinderella.

So, yeah...I've got a lot to read and a lot to study :( . Sadly I've got Summative Assessment's starting right after my vacations.

See you next time with who knows which book's review....
Byeee :D
