Beautiful Creatures review


Excerpt from little brown books: Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.

In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.
Review: This books was horrible! How in the world could it get so much hype and the writing is so bad! I could not even get a feel of the character because the writing was so distracting. I am no Marc Twain but I am also not trying to get a book deal. Are the publishing company's so desperate to get Twilight look alikes that they will now print fanfiction in book formate. This is horrible and I doubt I will even try to read it again. I feel like I wasted a lot of time and Money. I want my 8 bucks back! I originally picked up this book because I thought it was amazing that the book was in the south. There are very few paranormal romances that take place in the south. I am a southerner  and would love a good book that takes place here. I thought I might have finally found it when I picked up the book. This was was not the case at all. It contains sooo many stereotypes of southern people but yet does not use ya'll in the whole book. I know that it seems like a little thing but it made it impossible for me to dive into the story. There was no way that I could relate to the characters at all. Ethan was way to girl like and the main heroine was  as boring as a cardboard box. Needless to say I gave the book 1 out of 5 stars.

Introduction! :D

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Purple Equation. I am not sure what I created this blog for exactly yet. However, I do know that I will be reviewing some books on here. I do not know what else I will use this for. I will just plan as I go.

About me- random facts!
I am a college student who loves reading. I hope to become a teacher one day. I am also the worst speller in the world. Please ignore any grammar errors I make. Trust me when I say I make many of them. That is all for now. Want to know anything else ask!
