More About This Book

Overview

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 from the Great Barrier, 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's not Lena -- and the mysterious figure is following him out of his dreams and into his everyday life. Worse, Ethan is gradually losing pieces of himself -- forgetting names, phone numbers, even memories. He doesn't know why, and he's afraid to ask.

Sometimes there's no going back. And this time there won't be a happy ending.

SPECIAL BONUS: Includes "Dream Dark," a thrilling short story set before Beautiful Chaos. 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 he had no idea it would change his life forever.

Editorial Reviews

VOYA
In this third volume of the Beautiful Creatures series, protagonists Ethan and Lena must combat a powerful threat to their love, their families, and their small town of Gatlin, South Carolina. On her sixteenth birthday, Lena broke tradition to "claim" herself as both a Dark and a Light Caster, wielding powers of both sides. Her action broke the Order governing both the natural and supernatural worlds and let loose a series of plagues on Gatlin. As the Eighteenth Moon approaches, Lena, Ethan, and their allies race to discover the identity of the mysterious One Who Is Two, who alone can restore the Order. But Ethan, heretofore the stable, mortal foil to Lena's supernatural heritage, finds himself increasingly plagued by nightmares and, even more frightening, losing his memory and sense of self. Drastic action is called for—but what? This richly imagined series has all the elements of a successful Southern gothic supernatural romance. Casters and Keepers, Incubi and Sirens (capital letters are the authors'), and practitioners of arts both dark and light abound. The ambiguity of good and evil adds appealing complexity. In fact, there is so much going on, the reader will be hard-pressed to keep track. The multilayered story has taken on its own momentum and gives the impression of being almost out of the authors' control. Writing is fluid if sometimes inconsistent. (Why do only some characters "speak Southern"?). Humor leavens the text. Genre fans will love it, but be sure you have the entire series. Reviewer: Kathleen Beck

    Great book!

    I admit that this book completely took me by surprise. As the reader, I was expecting so many others things but never that. I loved that this book took a whole new spin on love and sacrifice!

    What I loved most about this book is the great plot line. So much going on in the book that is kept the reader hooked and always sated. Never once did my eyes stray from the pages as I devoured it. I enjoyed that while the plot line is unraveling secrets, poems, and love popped up where I never saw it. Both authors once again did an amazing job on capturing the essence of the town and the characters!

    The characters development in the story is where it needs to be. So much had changed in them that you know that these characters are at their peak. I enjoyed reading along with the characters in discovering secrets that have been under their noses. The book title is great for whats goes on in the book. Chaos. Total Chaos!

    Now for the ending. Did I see that coming? No. It was something that left me gasping and WOWed. I won't spoil it, but yeah. Amazing ending that left me wanting more.

    Beautiful Chaos is a completion of wonderful literature that had me in awe! I felt like I was in the town of Gatlin as soon as I open the first page, fighting the chaotic events unfolding between the pages. Filled with a great adventure of love and sacrifice, Beautiful Chaos will undo your mind leaving you yearning for more of Gatlin.

    Beautiful Chaos- A MUST Read

    Beautiful Chaos is a book mixed with love, suspense, and sacrifice. It is the third book in the Caster Chronicles. In my opinion, Beautiful Chaos is better than the first and second- Beautiful Creatures and Beautiful Darkness- combined. Yes, the first two were very good, but Beautiful Chaos has more drama. Instead of focusing on Lena¿s problems, it focuses on Ethan¿s. Since Ethan is the narrator, you can really get inside his mind and actually feel what he feels.
    In the third installment of the Caster Chronicles, both worlds - the Caster and Mortal- go bad. Lena¿s Claiming- both Dark and Light- has messed up the Order of Things. Ethan is losing more of himself every day; Amma is acting Dark; and Ridley is suddenly casting spells again, yet she is Mortal. Throughout the novel, Amma is very secretive and we realize that she knows what the Wheel of Fate wants to be able to fix The Order: a sacrifice of The One Who is Two.This book kept me reading chapter after chapter. I never glanced up from it. The drama and suspense all comes together in the biggest and greatest finale I¿ve ever read. The ending definitely shocked me. And, I¿ll admit, I cried while reading the last chapter. It was a huge cliffhanger, and it makes the reader wanting to know the release of the next, and final, book.
    What I loved about this book is that Lena and Ethan know that life is short now; every moment could be their last. Ethan is so sweet to Lena; it made me teary-eyed reading what he says about her: ¿That when she looked at me, it was like there was no one else in the world. That when I looked at her, I noticed every detail about her while everything else faded away. That I was only myself when we were together.¿
    I was overall satisfied with this book; never mind the heartbreaking, jaw dropping, tear jerking, ending. I still can¿t believe what Stohl and Garcia did to all the readers; it was like a kick in the throat. However, the purpose was achieved: I want to keep reading and I need to know if everything turns out happy.

    This book is heartbreaking!

    Ethan had already had his whole world turned upside down by his mysterious girlfriend. He's been to the end of the world and back for her. But in this thrilling book Ethan is asked to make the ultimate sacrifice, or watch everything he love's fall apart. Ever since his girlfriend, Lena, decided to claim herself light and dark the world has slowly started to fall apart.The world is getting hotter and hotter before their very eyes. Ethan is the only one who can save everything. But will his family let him save the world? This novel will slowly break your heart. The first two books in the series could never prepare you for this book. I give it five stars because of how beautifuly the two authors have weaved this book into reality. In this book it's not about Lena's choices. It's about Ethan's.

    Love it

    Love,love,absolutely love this series! Throughout the book, random clues come out of no where, but it all comes together in the end. Even stuff from the other books comes together! I was balling at the end. The sadest most unexpected thing ever.

    Wow!

    This book blew me away! Everything was just perfect, the characters were at their best, there was action, romance, and it was just amazing! Lena finally understood that Ethan was important to the caster world. Also, the love triangle between Ethan, Lena, and Liz was perfect! Lena and Liz yelled a bit, but they moved on! They weren't caught up in their love lives which I loved! I also liked seeing Link without Ridley. I had always loved them together, and without Ridley, Link seems a bit off. John and Liz together is so cute, and of course Lena and Ethan were awesome! I loved the romance in this book, but it wasn't too overpowering which made it easier to read. The ending was so sad! I was sobbing, on a train, in public, and people started to stare. Read this series now! You will not be disappointed!

    Great series

    I loved this whole book until the last page. I won't spoil it, but this was not the ending I expected from the series. Guess every writer wants to end it how they envision it, even if it doesn't please everyone. Still a great final book to the series!
