Summary

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Beautiful Chaos, the next instalment in Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s best-selling Caster Chronicles series, read by Kevin T. Collins.

Is falling in love the beginning...or the end?

In Ethan Wate’s hometown there lies the darkest of secrets. Ethan Wate is in love with a caster girl. When he looks at Lena, it’s like there’s no one else in the world. But Ethan is mortal, and on her 17th birthday Lena made a choice that changed everything. The girl Ethan loves has broken the world with the supernatural powers she is struggling to control....

Now, if they are to fix the chaos Lena has caused, one of them must make a terrible sacrifice. Sometimes there isn’t just one answer. Sometimes there’s no going back. And this time there won’t be a happy ending.

The third instalment of the spellbinding love story that began with Beautiful Creatures.

A Fantastic Continuation!

This is the third book in the Beautiful Creatures saga. I loved it!

I downloaded this book in audio format, as I wanted to read it, but didn't have time to. Having this book in audio format allowed me to listen to it whilst doing household chores, or before bedtime.
The story is again narrated by Kevin T. Collins, who does another fantastic job in bringing the characters alive. He gives each character their own personality and voice.

Ethan Wate is an extremely interesting character. I liked him very much. He is a sweet, loving young man, who happens to be a human in love with a Caster.

Lena Duchannes is a character I didn't really like in the first book. She had a "woe is me" attitude that really grated on my nerves. However, as this series has progressed, she has grown on me. Maybe it has something to do with her attitude change now she has claimed herself.

This story continues from the end of the second book. I liked the fact that this story was again told from Ethan's point of view. I was hooked from the first few minutes of the chapter.

Lena has claimed herself, but in the process "the order of things" has been broken. This means that Gatlin is suffering through a heat wave and an infestation of lubbers (a type of grasshopper similar to a locust). However, this is the least of Ethan's problems. He is still hearing music and finds out that it's a shadowing song (a message from his mother in the Other World). Meanwhile, Link has a problem of his own. After the fight with Abraham Ravenwood and then being bitten by John Breed, Link finds out that he is now an Incubus (he is now calling himself a Linkubus!). I loved this character's attitude to finding out that he is now supernatural. If I was him I would have freaked out a bit more, but I loved his cheerful acceptance; he is one cool dude! I also loved getting to know the Great Aunts better! Their constant bickering made me laugh, but you could feel the love behind their comments and complaints. There are several twists and turns in this story, which kept me enthralled, but there is one HUGE twist that I did, unfortunately, see coming near the end of the book. However, this twist is still shocking in it's finality and left me in tears. I am now looking forward to reading/listening to Beautiful Redemption as soon as possible, to find out what happens next!

Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl make a great writing team. Their writing style has improved a lot since the first book, and it is more fast paced. The story also flows better and is much smoother. I would definitely read more of their books in the future.

I highly recommend this book if you love YA or Paranormal Romances. - Lynn Worton

Beautiful, magical, heartbreaking…

My favourite book so far, I love this series and I love the characters more with each book! I especially loved John’s journey and was surprised and delighted in equal measure! Ethan’s aunts were wonderful and made me laugh a lot and Macon is simply coolness personified! Lena’s confrontation with Sarafine was shockingly sad and Ethan tore my heart out at the end.
Kevin T Collins is absolutely wonderful as the narrator, and I will definitely listen to these books again and again!
Can’t wait for more…

naming and mathematical mistake.

At one point a character was called by the wrong name and there was a slight mathematical mistake, don't want to say how because I'm don't do spoilers.

Beautiful story shame about the ending

I have enjoyed all 3 books but it's a terrible ending. Felt like it was such a build up for nothing. All the possible ways to finish this story with its rich characters and plot lines.
It was as if the authors had ran out of steam
