#1 -- Beautiful Creatures

This is #1 in a four book series and a popular movie that has just come out on DVD. The book is a good read for anyone who enjoys the Mortal Instruments series or other paranormal books. The whole book revolves around the fight between good and evil, and a teenage girl's struggle to stay on the "good" side when the "bad" side is tugging so hard at her. There are elements of magic and witchcraft in this books, so if that is not your thing then you may want to pass.  Overall I enjoyed the book even though it was a long read. Allow yourself plenty of time to read it.
