This story has been on my radar since I first watched the movie adaptation several years ago. And it’s been the perfect YA urban fantasy to kick off spooky season with. It’s dark, cozy and atmospheric with casters, supernatural creatures, elemental magic, cursed & reincarnated love, the mysterious new girl, and an intricate, layered back story all set in a small town in South Carolina. There are themes of light and dark, good and bad, being yourself and breaking away from norms, and first love.

Beautiful Creatures audiobook Series Schooled in Magic

Beautiful Creatures was quite the little curiosity for me. I went into it with a bit of skepticism, assuming that it would be an immature and semi-poorly written piece of young adult fiction. As I began reading the first page of the novel, I was ready and awaiting the lackluster characters and a clichéd predictable plot, but it never came. Instead I was given fantastic writing, a unique exhibition of characters, and a seemingly original plot that kept me wholeheartedly enchanted from beginning to end!

Let’s begin with the writing, which tends to be my biggest issue with the young adult genre. Most of the titles from this particular section are pieced together with such terrible word usage that I can physically feel my IQ starting to take a dip. It really makes me sad because the premise underneath the slaughtered sentences are really quite fascinating concepts. So when I saw that this book (the series in its entirety actually) was composed by TWO beings instead of one, naturally the fear of disappointment was eminent, however. Not once during my experience with this novel did I ever reach a point where I could distinguish that there were two people behind its creation. The writing is just that impeccable. When I began my Beautiful Creatures adventure, I ended up reading over one-hundred pages without a single ounce of hesitation. One moment I’m on the very first page and the next I’m about one-fifth of the way finished. Each sentence, whether it was laced with descriptions of atmosphere, personality, appearances, etc., was so properly constructed that it lulled me in and kept me attached until the grumblings of a hungry stomach could stand to be ignored no longer.

The second aspect to completely waylay my expectations are the characters themselves. Again, most of the YA books under my Read belt tend to have such hollow and irritatingly immature personalities that it makes for an excruciating effort to finish the books. The people introduced in Beautiful Creatures were a lot more relatable thus making them more believable as actual adolescents in the modern time period. Yes, you do have those characters that you just want to smack upside the head with the darn book, but it’s not every character, especially not the main ones, which makes a huge difference to whether the reading experience will be pleasant or repellent.

You usually see two characters that are complete opposites coming together for a common interest—whether love, revenge, greed, or whatever else comes to mind. But in Beautiful Creatures you have two unique people wanting very certain experiences out of life coming together to realize that what they want is nothing compared to what they already have. This makes for a very enrapturing notion of acceptance, which is a huge underlying theme within the novel. This theme spills over onto the rest of the cast and really rounds off portions of the plot.

Now, for the plot itself—really, bloody decent. I tend to stray from romances because, well let’s just say that personal experience has made lovey, mushy things my eternal nemesis. Be that as it may, I actually found myself giving into the warm, fuzzy feelings that invaded my heart whenever the twosome was on stage together. I’m sure that it has a lot to do with that whole relatable bit I was talking about earlier. Their attraction and their feelings for why something should, or shouldn’t happen can be viewed as occurring in real life rather easily. Even though this is a supernatural story, I really like it when an author (or authors in this case) can connect the fantasy with reality. It adds a whole new level of depth to the story that truly connects the reader to the book (at least in my crazy way of thinking it does).

Relatability aside, I just really enjoyed how dark Beautiful Creatures is. It’s very gothic and mesmerizing. It’s eerie yet elegant, despairing yet delightful. The story unfolds, one chapter at a time, with such a fluid pace that you get swept away in the beauty and emotions without completely realizing that you’re reading a book. At times, I felt I was watching a film in my mind, one that I had no freaking clue as to how it would end (or if I really wanted it to end). Nothing is choppy, or brusque. There are no surprises in the plot that genuinely don’t belong. Everything fits together so neatly like a large puzzle and the finished product leaves you feeling immensely satisfied, albeit slightly bittersweet.

Audiobook Beautiful Creatures by Christopher G. Nuttall

So, as many of you know, I’m someone who always likes to read the book before seeing the film. I picked up Beautiful Creatures the book about a week ago because I wanted to read it before I saw the film. To my surprise, it was…let’s call it unconventional. First of all, the book is 563 pages long. No way my publishing company would have been cool with that! Not that I’m complaining. It was 563 pages of awesomeness, but I was kind of surprised at the length. Secondly, the narrator is a guy. Now, I keep hearing people talk about how most readers are women and therefore most readers (at least in YA) prefer a female narrator. Now, I don’t necessarily share that sentiment, but I do sort of understand it. That said, some of the best YA books I’ve read in the past year have included male narrators. Just sayin’.

Audio Beautiful Creatures narrated by Tavia Gilbert

Lena Duschannes is a Caster who is living with her Uncle Macon Ravenwood in Gatlin, South Carolina, in the run up to her 16th birthday, the day she will be claimed either Light or Dark.
Ethan Wate is just an normal teenager living in Gatlin with his author dad who has been hiding away in his office since his wife, Ethan’s mum, died. They are both looked after by Amma the house keeper who is also a Seer.

At the start of the book we find out that Ethan keeps on having a recurring dream in which there is a girl he has never met. Then Lena starts at the school Ethan attends and he is quickly drawn to her and realises that she is the girl from his dreams. Ethan wants to get to know Lena but Lena doesn’t want to make any friends and pushes him away. Over the course of the first few chapters we feel Ethan’s pain as he desperately tries to get Lena to trust him, as for him it was love at first sight and he wants Lena to feel the same. Lena however is convinced that on her 16th birthday she will turn to the dark side and tries to block Ethan from her life, along with Macon and Amma’s approval as they want to keep the two apart as the two of them are old enemies.

Ethan tries to convince Lena that she can choose what she will become and that it is her choice whether she is turns light or dark and that she is a good person. Two dark casters show up to try to push Lena to the dark side and cause as much trouble as they can. Ridley, a Siren and Lena’s cousin who was banished from their home when she was chosen for the dark side and Sarafina, Lena’s mum and Macon’s Sister, who Lena was told had died years ago after she killed Lena’s Father. The two of them will go to any lengths to make sure that Lena will be chosen for the dark side, even if it means interfering in both Lena and Ethan’s lives.

Lena is a mixed up young girl who pushes everyone away as she doesn’t want anyone to get hurt by her as she is convinced she is going dark. She has a strong personality that shines off the pages but we also get to see a softer side to her and feel her pain. Ethan comes across as a bit of a love sick puppy who would follow Lena to the ends of the earth, but you find yourself rooting for the the two of them and enjoy the feeling that young love has to offer.

Ridley, although a dark caster who can make anyone do anything with the lick of her lollipop, has a witty, fun personality that even though she is causing trouble you can’t help liking her. There are a lot of strong characters in the book but they don’t over power each other. They all have their own traits and are distinguished from one another with each playing a vital role in the story.

The book is about self discovery for both Lena and Ethan and about learning to face your fears head on and to trust people especially those that love you.

From Chapter One right to the end of the book, it was explosive and kept me gripped and absorbed in the life of Lena and a world where humans and casters live side by side. The story is captivating and immerses the reader into a world where magic is real. The plot takes hold quickly and the story is fast paced. It will take you away from reality and place you in a world where anything can happen.

Although this is deemed more of a YA novel I was fully engrossed in it. The story does something most books aimed at adults don’t do. It plays with your imagination and creates a world we know isn’t real but can visualise it just as vividly. I was kept on my toes throughout the whole book and the ending, which I didn’t see coming, had me downloading book two straight away as I needed to know what happened next.

Broadly, I enjoyed it. For anyone who hasn’t yet read it, the story is told from the point of view of Ethan Wade, who has lived in Gatlin, a small town in Southern USA (where everybody knows your name), his entire life. His life gets a shake-up, however, when new girl Lena Duchannes moves into town. She is instantly a pariah because she lives with her uncle Macon Ravenwood, the town recluse, in the creepy Ravenwood manor.

It comes to light after some bizarre dreams, strange telepathy and a shattered classroom window that Lena isn’t a normal girl from a normal family. She’s a Caster, a member of a family who have varying supernatural abilities. Unfortunately in her family, when a Caster turns 16 they get allocated to either the `Light’ or the `Dark’. So she and Ethan spend the months leading up to her 16th birthday trying to uncover the reasons behind this and what can be done to prevent Lena going to the `Dark’ side (insert obvious Star Wars joke here).

I actually liked the way the authors classified the different Casters and found the powers varied and interesting. My favourite part of the book though, was the underlying historical mystery. An enigmatic locket with initials, flashbacks and a sordid American Civil war romance doomed to repeat itself centuries later–I was officially hooked.

As far as the characters go, while I enjoyed Ethan’s point of view as a narrator (a refreshing twist on the standard paranormal formula), I wasn’t wholly invested in Ethan and Lena individually and in their relationship. I felt sympathetic towards them, but at the same time I didn’t really care too much if they managed to stay together or not. I found a lot of the other characters, particularly Ridley’s blend of evil nature and good intentions and Amma’s fierce authority more interesting.

I was also somewhat disappointed by the ending. It was very big in scale, but lost a lot of the heart of the book, the individual struggles each character has as they get caught between the Light and Dark. It also felt a bit like a cop-out, a way to prolong the story of Lena being in between for another year (and another book). In short, it was interesting an enjoyable first book, but I’m not racing to read the next instalment. I will probably go see the film though.
