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.

Beautiful Chaos is the perfect Title

Great story continues. Some parts were so touching, I found myself crying while I drove to work. But the parts are disjointed and the overall impression is one of a chaotic mixing of events and stories. Like the puzzle described in the book, each piece was beautiful in itself, but making them fit together seemed to be very difficult and not entirely successful. I do recommend you read this book, but I also recommend that the authors take more time to get them right before publishing.

Great book!

This is my favorite of all of the caster chronicles so far. I wasn't a huge fan of beautiful darkness and feared that after that book the writing had gone down hill, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. Now it's on to the final book. I'm sad that it's almost over.

Entertaining

Would you listen to Beautiful Chaos again? Why?

I really love these books....good read for young adults and grown adults.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alma......love her nature.

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

very good and male and females characters.

Better than the first two

This book was much better than the previous. Like the previous, it starts out slow, in fact the whole first half is slow, but then the pace picks up quickly and there are a lot more interesting events going on. Overall I really enjoyed it except for the huge cliff hanger at the end. There are still a lot of story lines to wrap up, not to mention the major one at the end. The narrator is great, not quite 5 stars, but great in any case. I've forgotten to mention in my earlier reviews that there is a song that plays here and there throughout the book which is nice, but there are some other sound effects that I just don't like. I just don't like sound effects in audiobooks. Another thing I don't like about this series is that there isn't a lot about the magic system. If there was more info on the magic system, and more magic for that matter I would give it mor stars. I've bought the next and final book in the series just for closure really. I hope it's as good as this one.

great book

love love love this book. I will recommend this book to everyone I know .

the wheel of faith

the sisters, Alma they grabbed my heart in this book I cried when Aunt Prue passed it's been a long time since a book made me laugh and cry this book so far is my favorite.

Great book

I loved it. I love the whole series. I can't wait to read/listen to the next book

Beautiful story with a beautiful ending

They could’ve ended the series here. Very few books stir me emotionally. The final chapter of this one got me. I won’t spoil anything but it’s a beautiful story.

What is he thinking

Most of the time I ask myself ... Wtf is he thinking during all 3 of these books

It's a third book...

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I honestly feel that the information in this book could have been consolidated into the other three. I found a ton of the information to be redundant.

What was most disappointing about Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl ’s story?

The fact that they felt the need to constantly remind me of what had happened to the characters or their characteristics.

Have you listened to any of Kevin T. Collins’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was the first.

Could you see Beautiful Chaos being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Absolutely not. They botched Beautiful Creatures so horrifically that they will never be able to get subsequent movies right.
