5 stars!
I have goosebumps, I have tears, I have a small smile, and immense pride. Yes, pride, for a character in a book - how is that for excellent writing?
Ethan was both broken and whole, weak and strong, lost and in charge. He was ready to do whatever it took to save Lena, and all the other people he loved.
This book was very dark, but it really needed to be, in order to make this story be told. And even dark as it was, it truly was beautiful. And filled with utter chaos.
Lena was back to being Lena - most of the time. Link was getting used to being a Linkubus, and Amma went off the deep, dark end - for all the wrong (or right) reasons.
This is a series I will definitely keep on my 'To Read Again' shelf! ( )

After the Seventeenth Moon, Gatlin is plagued with extreme heat, drought and crickets--signs of the Apocalypse spurred by a break in the Order. Meanwhile, Ethan becomes increasingly unsettled as he starts to inexplicably change, like writing with his left hand and losing long periods of time. Ethan, Lena and co. struggle to save both Human and Caster worlds from being destroyed--a task that, in the end, requires the greatest sacrifice. This book is an entertaining addition to the series, though I felt like not much happened. The "twist" at the end seemed rather obvious to me from the beginning, but was still dramatic enough to make me want to read the next book. ( )

I have to say first that I'm very partial to this series. I just love the atmosphere, the gothic touch, this Gatlin town with its crazy inhabitants. I open the book, and I'm there. It happened again with this third volume. It became so very real to me and I read it in half a day.

Beautiful chaos is not just another love story. Sure, there’s love but all kinds of love. It’s also a book about family, about sacrifices, about how everything is not black or white, note Dark or Light. The writing appeals to me, as always with the series.

But this ending is terrible. I ended up in tears. And now, I have to wait a long, long time to know what will happen. A compulsive reader’s life is a hard one!

Epigraph
Tumult and peace, the darkness and the light -
Were all like workings of one mind, the features
Of the same face, blossoms upon one tree;
Characters of the great Apocalypse,
The types and symbols of Eternity,
Of first, and last, and midst, and without end.

- William Wordsworth, The Prelude: Book Sixth
Dedication
For our mothers
Susan Racca, who raises baby squirrels and feeds them with an eyedropper,
&
Marilyn Ross Stohl, who could drive a tractor before she could drive a car.
They are true Gatlin Peaches.
First words
In Gatlin, it's funny how the good things are all tied up with the bad.

Book description
Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316123528, Hardcover)

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.
