It's actually a good movie, and its impressive cast makes for an enjoyable supernatural teen drama.]]>

I can remember the first time I saw a promo for Beautiful Creatures. The world was still in the full tilt throes of Twilight-mania, and my eyes did a mighty roll around their sockets. The marketing showed supernatural teens in love, lots of moping, and all the other apparent trappings of something Stephenie Meyer might have vomited out of her unfortunate imagination. Even though I felt biased against this movie from the start, I still was interested in checking it out to see just how bad it could be. Imagine my surprise, then, when I actually watched Beautiful Creatures and caught myself searching for the e-book that inspired it shortly thereafter.

The finale has come and gone, but I don’t think any of us were expecting what we were left with. Guesses turned out to be wrong, characters turned out to be changed, and the world as we know it is no more safer than before. It’s going to be a long hiatus, full of speculation, before we get any kind of answers.

Issue #13 of Fatale is another flashback “episode”, standalone in its story and loosely related to the overall arc of the continuing story. Many elements are the same but the story is different. The stories feature, if not immortality, the ability to cheat death for a time and horrific consequences for many of those surrounding our main character, especially after her final demise. This story, however, is less about bare survival and escape and more about the protagonist finding some answers, which — don’t worry, reader — we still don’t have any of!

Note: This recap may contain spoilers!
