Genre: Fantasy, fiction, romance, young adult

This series is about a young man named Ethan. He lives in a small town in "the middle of nowhere", aka Gatlin, South Carolina. It's small town where everyone knows everyone and no one really comes or goes.  Ethan's dream is to leave this small town, where nothing changes... until one day when it does. A new girl comes to town. Lena Duchannes, her last name rhymes with rain, niece to the reclusive, creepy, and rich Macon Ravenwood.Lena doesn't quite fit in with the kids at school. She quiet, smart, and dressed very different. Ethan finds himself very much connected with the young dark haired girl, almost as if he had seen her before...like in a dream. However, there is more to the Lena and her family than meets the eye and Ethan finds himself swept (or belonging?) into a world where everything might not be all that it seems. A series filled with angst, magic, secret worlds, family, fate, and coming of age mix together to create and amazing plot and character ties that will leave you continuously wanting more!

Alcon Entertainment and Warner Brothers adapted the first book into a movie in 2013, directed by Richard LaGravenese. It was a very decent movie,but alas like most movie adaptions it changed the plot to fit its own needs. Still a good watch though and I do recommend seeing it if you like the books.
