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.
Just like the first two books of the serious Beautiful Chaos wasn't an easy read. I still wasn't sucked into the story, until the last couple of chapters. This whole series could be really great but the authors have the tendency to cram in so many details and secrets that after awhile you're confused. It has happened with every book! You don't fully understand everything until they finally start summarizing things in the last few chapters.
In this book the apocalypse has hit Gatlin after Lena had destroyed The Order when she claimed herself both Light and Dark. There's drought, hundred degree weather, lubbers everywhere, Caster's not having control of their magic and worst of all Ethan is losing himself..literally! He starts forgetting things. He can't remember phone numbers, memories, he stops liking chocolate milk and Amma's cooking(heaven forbid!) and has crazy dreams of himself falling to his death.
I do have to give them props for the ending, it actually makes me want to read the next book! Normally I will finish a series only because I'm stubborn and when I start something I will finish it, and these books have not left me excited and anxious to get the next one. I've been forcing myself to buy the next one. But SURPRISE, the end has me waiting for the next and final book Beautiful Redemption!
I will warn you, the end is sad! Lots of emotions going on, and a BIG sacrifice! I do hope they conclude this series well. We'll see.
