Beautiful Chaos: Beautiful Creatures, Book 3

Lena broke the world on her seventeenth moon. Instead of choosing Light or Dark, which would have resulted in the death of any family members who belonged to the side she didn't choose, Lena chose both. By embracing both Light and Dark, she has thrown the natural order of things out of sync. Not only are her creepy Incubus ancestors trying to take advantage of the chaos and create their own ideal world, but the town of Gatlin and everyone she loves in it is in danger.The Linkubus isn't the only thing Gatlin has to fear... Abraham Ravenwood has joined with Lena's evil Caster mother to find John Breed- the hybrid Incubus who can walk in the sunlight and is the future for Abraham and the other evil creatures. They know Lena, Ethan, and Macon are somehow involved in hiding him, but they have no idea where he is. Add to that newly-mortal Ridley's craziness now that she is no longer a Siren and you have quite the disaster. Then Abraham lets loose the Vexes who take down the Sisters' (Ethan's ancient aunts) house with a tornado and puts Aunt Prue in a coma, he knows something has to be done. But the snippets of the song about "The Eighteenth Moon" are not only terrifying, they are incredibly cryptic.Meanwhile, they find Ridley has been holding John Breed prisoner in her room and using him to Cast. While Ethan wants to kill him for turning Link and almost destroying Lena, he realizes John is as innocent as they all are in the mess that has become Gatlin. Abraham has abused and controlled John since he was a child and John doesn't even remember hurting Link. Together, they all struggle to make sense of what is happened and how to change it back. Unfortunately, the sacrifice that must be paid is one no one is ready for.This was the best installment of this series so far. I like the other two books as well, but this one was really good. I couldn't put it down, all 500 pages of it. Since we saw Ethan and Lena so separated last book, it was nice to see them back together. But the supporting characters were better, as seems to be fairly standard with this series. Link was a riot as usual, and it was funny watching him try to deal with his new found powers. Ridley has a lot of trouble coping with her new standing as a mortal, but I love her relationship with Link (as tumultuous as it is). But Amma and John Breed were really interesting here. Amma, always protective of Ethan, will go to any lengths to protect him- even if it means a sacrifice Ethan would never let her pay. And John, who you hated in the last book, you find yourself sympathizing with. He really never experienced any childhood or family; you really find yourself wanting to like him. This was a great follow up story and makes me anxious for the final book in the series this fall. I can't imagine where everything is going to go with the final story, but I know I can't wait to read it!

That was the most beautiful, sweetest, heartbreaking book I've read in a long time. It was better than the first and second books combined and THANK GOD there is a 4th book or I would continue to be the blubbering mess I am right now.For the uninitated, you have to read the first 2 books or this one will not make sense at all. For those of you in love with Ethan and Lena, Link and Liv, Amma and Marian and even Ridley, this book will be your favorite. It packs it's pages full of better character development and interaction; the action is tension-filled and the quiet moments between Ethan and Lena are the sweetest ever.Lena is not the moody stranger she was in Beautiful Darkness, she is more involved in the story, not just the elusive Caster breaking Ethan's heart over and over again. Link is not just a goofball best friend now, he's a hunky goofball best friend with powers. And Ridley is still breaking his heart over and over again. John Breed returns and I'm still not sure what I think of that guy by the end. Amma is more fragile this time; she shows her softer, more emotional side. Liv is still the best, she misses her friend Ethan and there is the greatest scene between her and Lena. Go Liv!And Ethan is still the most sensitive, most loving teenage boy that ever existed (when he was describing how he would hug and smell his mother's pillow after her death, I was bawling). But this time, he is darker, he's changing, something is wrong with him. He feels it, he knows it. We all know it and we see it coming.The evil characters are still there, but it's the good guys that make the book so enjoyable for me. It's a beautiful book, I highly recommend it to those who read the first 2 books. Just make sure you have tons of tissue.And it leaves you with the biggest cliffhanger ever.

I started reading this series a few months ago and slowly have grown to like them. This book I enjoyed more than most of the others. I thought the action was better in some of the other books although this one wasn't lacking action it just didn't have as much. It's great when you get a story from the boy's point of view.I love Linkubus and that he had a great part in this story. I also like that we learn more about John Breed and Liv. This book really helps you get to know many of the characters deeper including Macon, Lena, Marian, and others. I've grown to love the crazy sisters and Amma. You get to see much more of Amma in this one and a lot more secrets are revealed. I thought there was better paranormal effects in this book than in the other two. I believe Ethan's character grew so much, he really became a man in this book.The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because A... It took me 4 days to finish unlike others that I couldn't put down and B... I predicted the outcome from the first 18 moons song. There was very little mystery in my opinion as to the plot in this one. Every single time there was a "hint" it was a dead giveaway as to what the plot line was about and I prefer mystery and suspense.And as I said this book lacked the action the other two had. There is action, just not as much, nor as good. I also wish there had been a little more trouble from Ridley. I have always liked her character and the drama she causes. She did not disappoint in this book, but I would have liked even more from her. I hope to hear more from her in the next book!There were a few laugh out loud minutes and a few "oh no" moments as well during this book. Overall it was a solid 4 star read if you are a fan of the series. I think Link will definitely need a series of his own some day. His mother cracks me up and I think his personality is one of a kind.I do like that Kami Garcia left us with one heck of a cliffhanger which means I will definitely be reading the next installment in this series; it's the best cliffhanger I've read so far this year. It's worth the read!
