Publisher's summary

When Link joined his best friend, Ethan Wate, on a quest through a mysterious network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, he knew the journey would be dangerous. But returning home to Gatlin, South Carolina, was just the beginning....

Wounded during a climactic battle, Link discovers that tending his injuries won't be as simple as visiting a doctor, and that healing his arm should be the least of his worries. For being bitten by a Supernatural does more than break the skin - it changes a person, inside and out, turning Link into someone more and more like the dark creature who injured him.

In this never-before-seen short story by New York Times best-selling authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, listeners witness Link's heart-racing transformation. Dream Dark is set before the much-anticipated third Beautiful Creatures novel, Beautiful Chaos, and as a special bonus includes an exclusive sneak peek at the first five chapters.

Linc Gets Motivated

Where does Dream Dark: A Beautiful Creatures Story rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is well-written, interesting, narrator is good, background music is great. You can actually feel the deep South atmosphere listening to the audiobook. I think it would rank as third best I've read so far.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Only a few characters in this story. i suppose it would be Linc as we see him change in this short story.

Which character – as performed by Kevin T. Collins – was your favorite?

Linc...and Ethan is always well done.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

no.

Any additional comments?

no.

Don't waste your credit or money on this one

Don't waste your time on this one. It's just 1 hour about the first few days if Linc's transformation into a Inkubus, then it's the first 5 chapters of book 3. I recommend skipping this one and go straight to the 3rd book.

cheated

This story to focuses on Link. I love Link, but it is not enough to write a book on. Half of 3 hour book is on the next book in the series. this could been added to end of previous book.
