About this eBook

There were no surprises in Gatlin County. We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere.At least, that's what I thought.Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong.There was a curse.There was a girl.And in the end, there was a grave. Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town ofGatlin 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.

Ratings and reviews

It would be very confusing if you didn't read the book, and the art style wasn't the best choice to portray all the emotion of the characters or their environment

The movie was good, but it had to compact everything they felt important because they didn't know how it would do or if they'd have any sequels

This book series is my second fav next to Twilight. There isn't many books that I can read all the way through before I am bored but this series and Twilight I could not get enough of.
