Why read it?
1 author picked Beautiful Creatures as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A contemporary storyline mixed with historical details give book one in this four-book, gothic fantasy series a rich backdrop for family conflict on an unexpectedly dark scale as the main character, Lena, faces a cursed countdown to her 16th birthday. The movie version of this book is good, but as often is the case, the book is better.

From Valerie's list on witchcraft novels that launch bingeworthy series.
