Beautiful Creatures, Book 3

Length: 16 hrs and 10 mins

Publisher's summary

Ethan Wate thought he was getting used to the strange, impossible events happening in Gatlin, his small Southern town. But now that Ethan and Lena have returned home, strange and impossible have taken on new meanings. Swarms of locusts, record-breaking heat, and devastating storms ravage Gatlin as Ethan and Lena struggle to understand the impact of Lena's Claiming. Even Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals is affected - and their abilities begin to dangerously misfire. As time passes, one question becomes clear: What - or who - will need to be sacrificed to save Gatlin?

For Ethan, the chaos is a frightening but welcome distraction. He's being haunted in his dreams again, but this time it isn't by Lena - and whatever is haunting him is following him out of his dreams and into his everyday life. Even worse, Ethan is gradually losing pieces of himself - forgetting names, phone numbers, even memories. He doesn't know why, and most days he's too afraid to ask.

Sometimes there isn't just one answer or one choice. Sometimes there's no going back. And this time there won't be a happy ending.

Great 3rd novel

Technically, it's the 4th including "Dream Dark," but who's counting?
The novel got a little slow in the middle, and I noticed a lot of the same phrases were repeated. However, it really picked up in the end and I cried for the last hour straight through!

Narration was fantastic as always!

I started out loving this series, but...

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I am kind of getting tired of it all, I fear. I actually find aspects of the plot very crazy confusing, like the whole thing about Lena's Mother calling the claiming moon out of time and Uncle Macon being back,etc...huh??? My fear is that we might be listening to

love it

this whole entire series keeps you on your toes I love it one of the best authors

FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!!!

Would you listen to Beautiful Chaos again? Why?

AGAIN AND AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND THEN ONE MORE TIME FOR GOOD MEASURE. I literally crave this series when listening or reading to mundane, less in-depth novels.

Any additional comments?

Intelligent! Well-written. Book lovers rejoice! This one has loads of witty references to the greatest novels and authors of all time. If you enjoy coming of age love stories, characters not only find out who they are but also discover their own past & future, anything supernatural, bro-mances, or YA novels, you should definitely give this series a chance! Personally, I get similar vibes to that of Twilight (roles reversed) but witty, more in depth characters. I love this series!

Fantastic!

As the third book in the Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles series), I find that I’m still reading the series without putting the books down. This book goes more indepth into what is going on under the town of Gatlin and keeps the reader guessing what’s going to happen next. Lena and Ethan just can’t seem to get a break. No matter what happened in the first two books, this book expands on what happened and at the same time brings new information to light. I absolutely can’t wait to read the next and final book!

WOW!

Really exciting! There is soooo much happening in this book! And I can't imagine what will be in the next one!

Suitable for teams as well

Story well written of Supernatural. The series would be suitable for teenagers.
Contains some Romance, some violence and no course language.
The narrator does a good job, giving each character their own unique voice.
I love this series.
This story does around up but leads into the next book.

AMAZING

What a great read so sad there's only one book left. But holy crap what a CLIF HANGER!

The performer was wonderful, the book, no mystery

Kevin T. Collins did a fantastic job. The story seems to be getting a bit stretched out, and I dont know if i will want to listen to the other two in the series. I thought this was such a different series, but this third installment seemed to lack the excitement of the other two. The plot was easy to discern. I like a little more mystery. Worth listening to if you are a fan of the series, and definately the reader makes it very fun!

Great Teen read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would as a good read, not to complex. Easy story line to follow.

What did you like best about this story?

The relationship between Lena and Ridley

What about Kevin T. Collins’s performance did you like?

He did a great job.
