"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."
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.
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!

Spread the Bite…
I really enjoyed Beautiful Creatures and I liked Beautiful Darkness. I’m glad that this books seems to have that WOW factor that Beautiful Creatures did. Plus I love a novel that can completely take me by surprise and has an ending that I’d never expect.
Ethan! I love him so much. But I still haven’t read BD. 🙁
Looking forward to discovering those surprises for myself. 🙂
I have some serious catch up to do with this series…
I started to read the first then got side tracked. I’ll get to reading these hopefully soon. Love the review, it really makes me want to set others aside to pick this up.
Oh this is the other series I’ve been wanting to get to! As soon as I go to pick it up I keep getting something between me and the books! I need to fix that. Look at how great this sounds!
I haven’t made it past book one in the series so far, but I’m so glad to hear you loved this one, too! Great review, Savy 🙂
