In Ethan Wate�s hometown there lies the darkest of secrets . . . There is a girl. Slowly, she pulled the hood from her head. Green eyes, black hair. Lena Duchannes. There is a curse. On the Sixteenth Moon, the Sixteenth Year, the Book will take what it�s been promised. And no one can stop it. In the end, there is a grave. Lena and Ethan become bound together by a deep, powerful love. But Lena is cursed and on her sixteenth birthday, her fate will be decided. Ethan never even saw it coming.

I loved this! It's been on my tbr for literal years and I knew what to expect (kinda) from seeing the movie but I wasn't disappointed. 

I really loved where they took the storyline and I'm so ready for the rest of the series. I love Lena and Ethan so much omg, and despite it being a 500ish page book I wasn't bored at any point. Honestly, I loved every minute and I even switched between physical and the audiobook so I could keep reading whilst doing college work. 

The audiobook for this was sooo good! The narrator and the sound effects really added to the story and made it super exciting, I hope I can get a hold of the other 3 audiobooks for the rest of the series.

Easy 4 stars! I can't wait to get to Beautiful Darkness!

This was perfect. I've seen the movie and I have to say the book is a thousand times better. I like how Ethan is the stronger of the two most of the times and how they love each other so much. Also I like how the plot goes. In the movie it's so much different and especially the ending sucks in the movie. I can't wait to read the next instalments in the series.

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.
