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 #3

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

Yes, yes, yes!! Good story.

What did you like best about this story?

Loved the characters. Well developed.

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

The narrator is awesome!! Portrayed perfectly all of the characters, both male and female. And the southern accent was just the right tone to wrap this book perfectly.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Lots of laughs and cliffhangers. Won't give it away but holy crap the end!!!!! And now I have to wait how long for the next book?!?!?!?!

Any additional comments?

Even though this is a teen book, it was a fun read for this adult!!

Pretty compelling listen

While I was most enthralled with book 1 in this series (which is pretty typical of this type of genre, at least for me), I definitely enjoyed making my way through books 2 & 4. So: if you were a fan of "Beautiful Creatures," it's definitely worth your while to make your way through the trilogy!

love

I love this book and the reader! This book drew me in emotionally and I can't wait to listen to it again

Good story but...

This was a good book in the series but it was completely predicable. The whole book Ethan didn't know what was happening or going on or what things meant....I knew everything because it was so obvious it was frustrating listen to Ethan not know. I knew the ending from the beginning of the book.

A great Caster Chronicles book

This is a great Caster Chronicles book. At first I thought “Oh no, the same story of Lena’s choice”, but I wasn’t right because this time the Eighteen Moons song is related to another thing. After the end of “Beautiful darkness”, chaos has invaded Gatlin and the characters have to do something to stop it.

In spite of the fact that the beginning is a bit slow, after two hours of listening I was completely caught by the plot. I liked how it characterizes the characters: we know more about Liv, John and Sarafine, and Ridley and Link are very funny. I also think that this book is kind of more “human” because it enters personal aspects in a very touchy and natural way.

In the second book I thought that the authors didn’t give us enough clues and they “invent” too much surprises in the last pages. However, in “Beautiful chaos” they have done a good job, they give us some clues little by little and the end is consequent with all of them. By the way, a very good end!

I have to say that this book will please Caster Chronicles fans. Nevertheless, if you are one of those who think that these books are too slow and full of details, go away from here because “Beautiful chaos” has the same style.

The performance by Kevin T. Collins it's ok, but I think he could do it better with feminine voices.

I'm so shocked...

Wow! I'm totally blown alway!

I really love this series! It has a beautiful southern charm that dazzles me and makes me feel like I know and love the characters!

Lena and Ethan are back together but nothing has truly gone back to normal! Uncle Macon and Liv stay down in the tunnels. Ridley is fighting with the fact that she is now a mortal girl that has to go to high school. Link is learning to live life as a succubus or a Linkubus. Marion is in trouble with the Far Keep. The castors are having a hard time keeping their powers in check. Gatlin is experiencing apocalyptic style weather and lubbers.

Abraham comes to town and unleashes hell on Gatlin and leaves everyone to pick up the pieces. More is revealed about Sarafine through the visions Lena and Ethan have together. Amma is starting to change for the worse and so is Ethan...he is forgetting things he knows and not liking things he used to love. All the while, everyone is worrying about the wheel of fate that is soon to crash down on them!

The ending will throw you for a loop!!! Get the tissues ready!

Can't wait for the Movie!

I am so excited to see the movie. The first book was good and they have just gotten better. In this book things really take on a new twist.

On the edge..

On the Edge of my seat can’t wait to download the next one book continue the story!!..

Hypnotic and Mesmerizing

with listening to the book, I dont think you could get the mesmerizing shadowing song to feel the same as if you just read it. the song makes the book hypnotic and haunting all at once. the story line and characters are great, and the series has had me hooked from book 1.

What is he thinking

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