Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margret Sthol

So this was a sort of shadowed, unpopular..ish book series when they first came out... well from where I am from, the books were underrated and unknown. But also I was stupid and read the second book first.... I know very smart.

When I heard there was going to be a film out for Beautiful Creatures I was super excited but forgot all about actually going to see the film..... Yes another smart move from me!

I did watch the movie a few months ago and really, really loved the film. It was dark and enchanting like a beautiful nightmare.

The story line is about a girl called Lena and she turns up in Gatlin living under the roof of the town recluse 'Old Man Ravenwood'. Because Lena is living with Mr Ravenwood she instantly is disliked by the entire town apart from one person, the one person who can't resist Lena.

But there are too many secrets that posses Lena, who she is, who she is too become, whether she is dark or light.

The book was really, really good. I loved every page of the book and the plot twist's were breathtakingly magnificent.

I think maybe the story line took place kind of too far into the book, but I also get that it did help make the story really hit home, and made me understand the towns hate towards outsiders.

Brilliant book. Next review will be The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Sabriel- Garth Nix

So this books wasn't one within my normal book reading genre but I have to say the suspense was amazing and the book was a great read.

The book is about a girl called Sabriel who is called an Abhorsen (they can send people who are in a sort of dead limbo through to the gates of death.) The book has this amazing extravagant adventure with a lot of risks for Sabriel on the way. Her journey begins when a creature turns up with Abhorsen's bells for the afterlife, Sabriel knows that time is slipping aways fast and that she needs to find Abhorsen fast to give him back the bells.

Sabriel heads of in search for Abhorsen and meets some lovely and also some deadly people on the way.

The book was great but I do have to say the beginning of the book was confusing as hell and nothing was actually really explained in the beginning so you are clutching at straws from the start until at least half way through the book. After I got past the confusion I loved every page of the book I really couldn't have loved it more in the end.

The story was well put together, I think the story built up well and had a good ending to keep me invested enough to want to buy the rest of the books.
