Beautiful Creatures - Beautiful Darkness

This is a wonderful series and keeps the reader intrigued and guessing as it jumps and twists. You are left hanging on and rooting for the love story at the end of each book anticipating the next one.

Terrible series about whiny, unlikable teenagers in contrived situations. When the movie is better and makes more sense than the book, you know it's bad. I actually read the entire series (since I bought it), hoping beyond hope it would get better. It didn't. Don't waste your money. No where near the quality of Harry Potter or Hunger Games. You'd be better off reading the Divergent or Twilight series than this drivel.

This 4-book set is a worthwhile read for fans of young adult fantasy series (like Twilight, Hunger Games, Divergent, Delirium), but ultimately the story just isn't on par with the other series. I liked books 1 and 2 but lost a bit of interest in book 3. And I'm still struggling to finish book 4 so I can move onto the final book in the Delirium trilogy!

I loved this series! I was addicted from the first book to the last! I thought it was a nice change to see the point of view from the normal boy perspective instead of the opposite side. I couldn't put these books down and now neither can my dad!

Amazing book series. I originally bought this series for my 13 year old, who hardly ever gets into reading. She read the first two books, 500+ pages within a month. Very captivating reading and keeps you wanting to know what will happen next.

I actually already own the first book in this series, but this 3 book set is a great value--more so than buying them each separate-so now I have 2 copies! Very nice quality paperback books. I love the story line too--great for anyone who likes a little fantasy read or supernatural. They are making the first book in the series into a movie come spring.

The shipping did take a while longer then expected but I cant complain Im happy to have the books with me now. The writing tho i do feel gets a little stale as the seres goes on but now a days thats the problem with a lot of authors, especially when it comes to love stories. Theres only so much build up to a boy meets girl boy gets girl set up. The whole "caster thing" is a nice change from all the vampire stuff butttttttt it is teetering on the verge of a wana be twilight. But I like it more because in this series the female holds the power and the guys struggling to keep up, even if she is a lil emo and in need of some meditation. All in all a 4 just shy of a 5

I got these books because the movie coming out in February intrigued me. I will still probably see the movie. Storyline in the books was OK, very predictable. If you've read the Twilight series and ladies, who hasn't, you will see some of the same writing formula here. Love lorn teenagers, Good vs Evil, you get it. Depending on your level of reading, you may really like it or simply find it ok.

I think it's rather interesting with two female authors writing from a guys point of view - but I'm guessing they're doing pretty fine actually, atleast according to myself.
Looking forward to the movie(s?) and I think Ridley will be a bit cooler in the movie than the uberblondbimbo-idea one gets of her from the book. Other than that - the first book was great. I've just started the second one, so I can't say for sure yet about the other two - but again - I think it's great they sell them as a set. It makes one feel rich of books when they're delivered home, and where you can just start reading. :)

This trilogy was surprisingly quite enjoyable to read. Although the target audience is for preteens and up the characters and storyline kept me engaged and wanting more. I cared about the main characters and felt their angst, sorrow, confusion and joy. The hidden world of Gatlin is imaginative and worth exploring.
I read the Twilight series before giving the books to my granddaughter and know she will enjoy these as well. I'm glad I bought this series.

It took me two months to read the first book (I don't plan on reading the other two). The movie wasn't great but I actually think it was better than the book. The thing is jam-packed with erroneous details, BORING & USELESS scenes, I didn't feel a true love connection between the two main characters, and the writing and dialogue was lackluster....don't bother with this series unless you're masochistic.

Very impressed with the writing styles of both authors. This series is captivating, and I recommend getting all three books in this collection. I've read the first two books twice thru while waiting to order the third, Beautiful Chaos. Hubby enjoyed them too. Hope to see more books from these authors. They weave witty, intriguing, tearful, and heartwarming stories that keep you turning the page to see what happens next!

I just finished the entire series and what a great collection! I am not a "reader" but once I fins something that insterests me....and this was it....I couldn't put it down. It is an easy read and I blew right thought the 4 books within a 8 week period. I loved learning about the characters and the history behind the story. It is a modern love story with multiple twists. I would recommend it to anyone (pre-teen to adult)

Okay, it's not life changing or done in an amazing writing style. However I truly enjoy. It's easy, fun and right now I can't put it down. Go in with an open mind and you may find you will enjoy it too. As my husband said "it's a guys version of twilight but better".

This is such new and exciting story it is a must read for all types of readers!
Here is another suggestion as well my friend is publishing her book at the end of the month and it is great here is the website pls check it out!

I loved these books. I am an avid reader and enjoy stories. This is a great love story but it doesn't focus on just solely on the love it shows all aspects of it. You can also feel the power of the books coming through the words. Amazing!
