Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles #1) by Kami Garcia

Ethan Wate lives in Gatlin. His mother has passed away. His dad is a recluse. He is almost done with high school and can't wait to leave Gatlin behind. Nothing ever happens in this town and nothing is a secret. Now if he could just figure out why his nightmares/dreams seem to be real?
Everything changes when a new girl joins his school. Her name is Lena Duchannes and she seems to be avoiding him. The more he looks at her the more attracted he is to her. When he figures out she is the woman of his dreams, nothing will keep him away from her. He knows she is different but when she tells him she is a caster, he has a hard time believing it. Time is running out before her birthday  and a curse that may destroy them all.
I like that the story was told from Ethan's POV. Refreshing. Good start of a series although I thought the book was a little too long.
