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.

Outstandin story and great narration

I must say that I miss booktrack edition in this book as well, despite lot of people hate it I love it.

The narrator's performances is incredible good just as all books before.

The end is amazing, I'm 30 and I don't feel this book as a lame romantic story at all, it's too good and complex.

Wow! That was unexpected!

Beautiful Choas was even better than the two previous Beautifuls. It was neatly written and emotionally captivating! Kevin T. Collins did an excellent job on mimicing the characters voices, which made the whole thing even more enjoyable! I almost choked on my own tears several times while listening to it, and I dare you not to cry. This series has always been dark and depressing, yet not doubt Beautiful. The end caught me by surprise and left me painfully haning. I can't wait to read the last book!

I just love these books!

The Beautiful Creatures series is my absolute favorite. I have been an Audible member for years and these are the only books I have ever listened to twice. Yes, they move a bit slow and can be are repetetive. However, I enjoyed the sound effects and the narration is great. My favorite characters are Ethan's elderly aunts. They are adorable! I am from the deep South and they remind me of a couple of people I know!

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!
