I enjoyed this book. With most of the supernatural romance out nowadays it's the human girl falling in love with boy who's immortal, a vampire, or has powers. In Beautiful Creatures it was nice to have the girl have the supernatural powers, and have a human boy be the one falling in love. Don't let the size of the book keep you away. Once you start you'll want to keep reading, and the plot keeps the story moving throughout the whole book. There is a sequel called Beautiful Darkness which will be coming out in October.
