I really liked this series. Beautiful Creatures is a fresh approach to the YA urban fantasy scene (although this book is set in small town South Carolina). The authors introduce new twists into the plot, almost out from left field, which keep the books moving along. Although I thought Beautiful Darkness (the 2nd book) dropped off a bit, Beautiful Chaos brought it right back up to the same level of Beautiful Creatures.

This series continues to reach a better expectation that I originally had for it. The plot continues to thicken without ever true my leaving the main premise of the first book which I love

This series gets you so involved with the people in it you don't even realize how vested in their lives you've become, which to me is a sign of a great story. No spoilers ahead so all I will say is this book has a scene that is so good and so emotional it made me ugly cry and I wasn't even mad about it.

Another great book in the Caster Chronicles. I'm sad there's only one left!

WOW! What a cliffhanger! Cannot wait for the fourth book.
“This summer had changed everything, in both the Caster and Mortal worlds, even if the folks in Gatlin didn’t know it.”
SPOLIER ALERT! If you haven’t read the first two books in the Caster Chronicles, STOP! I don’t want to ruin one of my favorite series for you.
When Lena’s mother Sarafine forced the Seventeenth Moon, Lena claimed herself both Light and Dark and split the Moon. A crack in the Order of Things occurred after a battle between the Casters and Demons and everything changed in the Caster and Mortal worlds. Ethan Wate once found Gatlin, South Carolina confining and couldn’t wait to leave. Now Lena has come back to him, but the End of Days has started.
As Mrs. Lincoln fears, the Apocalypse has arrived in Gatlin. Scorching heat and an infestation of lubbar grasshoppers have devastated the landscape. The powers of the Casters are out of control, but Ethan and Lena are together once again. Link is dealing with his transformation into the Linkubus and is taking lessons from Macon Ravenwood deep in the tunnels. Ridley is having a difficult time adjusting to her new mortal existence and Link’s newfound popularity with the ladies. Amma is visiting voodoo priest in New Orleans and making deals with the devil himself. And Ethan’s father decides to write a new Civil War book with the help of Mrs. English, Ethan’s English teacher and the title, Eighteenth Moon. All is not right in Gatlin.
Lena and Ethan are attempting to right all of the wrongs caused by her Claiming before Gatlin ceases to exist. Heading into the tunnels to visit Macon, Lena and Ethan overhear a conversation between Macon and Olivia, the former keeper apprentice to Marion Ashcroft, the town’s librarian and the Caster Keeper. They are discussing their research into the parentage of John Breed, the Dark Caster/Incubus hybrid. It is a conversation Lena wishes she had not overheard. In the meantime, Ethan seems to be losing himself slowly, even forgetting his phone number.
Who and what exactly is John Breed? What is the purpose of his existence and who is responsible? What is causing Ethan’s memory loss? What is Lena discovering about her mother? Can Lena and Ethan survive the latest trials to their relationship? Join Ethan and Lena on their journey to not only save Gatlin, but themselves.
