Beautiful Creatures.

“Sixteen moons, Sixteen years
Sixteen of your deepest fears
Sixteen times you dreamed my tears
Falling, Falling through the years”

-Beautiful Creatures

This Christmas season fill a friend's stocking with the "Beautiful Creatures" series.  Now that "Twilight" is officially over it is time we move on.  Buy yourself a box of kleenex and have a good cry.  Okay, are we done?  So, moving on (I mean it), m-o-v-i-n-g o-n.  Here is another series to fill the empty void (or obsess, whatever).  Because, the whole vampire thing, well, I'm kinda over it.  I was always more of a witch, black cauldrons, black cats, pointy hats, brooms and spells kinda girl (hey, now, no judgement).  And, this series is full of that.  Well, minus the black cauldron and pointy hat thing.  It has casters and incubus' and spell casting galore.  Whoa, let me reel in the cheesy.  Oh, and they have a movie coming out next year (which I know won't be as great as the book, it never is).  However, Emmy Rossum (we know I love her) is going to be in it which makes it an automatic must see.  I started the series over the summer and it became my June obsesh.  If you aren't a fan of fantasy and fairy tales, well, this series may not be for you.  It is also a refreshing outlook on the whole forbidden love story.  Why do you ask?  "Beautiful Creatures" is written in the male perspective.  Yes, a male narrator (I needed that).  Because the only thing I'm more over than vampires, are whiny, naive, and helpless girl narrators.  I mean, enough already.  I get it, you're in love, something or someone is standing in your way, there is someone who wants to kill you, yada yada yada, put a cork in it.  So, if you are making a pitiful attempt to drown your "Twilight" sorrows head over to the book store, take out your iPad, kindle, or nook and purchase this series.  I can't promise you'll absolutely adore it (like I did) but it does make for an interesting read.  Let me know how it goes!
