Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

Is book 3 in The Beautiful Creatures Series

"The mortal world is in a state of beautiful chaos and destruction, which will ultimately lead to an exquisite end." This is my favorite quote from the book. It is the best description of what takes place within the story.  Chaos of course is the theme of the book.

I struggled to read the first two books and even the beginning of this book, but I finally got it. I finally found the point of not wanting to put this book down. I struggled to stop long enough to take care of  my three kids =0). This book is a good book. It's the FINALLY the kind of book I normally read. And then like all of my other favorite series it left me hanging until  Tuesday, October 23 ,2012.

I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.
It is for 14 and up...

Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

Beautiful Darkness book 2 in the Caster Chronicles Series
By Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl


Lena has saved Ethan. But in the process is falling apart. Can the choices that she made make her lose who she is? Or will she become the thing she fears the most. And those that seem like they know nothing have secrets of their own. Ones that can help save Ethan and Lena or destroy them in the end. And even the dead are now telling their own tell. People with powers lose them, the dead walk, and not everything is what it seems.

I really want to like this series, but it seems to fall short for me. I cannot put my finger on what I don't love about it. I know I don't love reading a book written for YA in a males voice (perspective). I also find the character Ethan somewhat whiny and a little pathetic. I also find that I want more action. I feel that just when it can get good the authors skip what can make this series amazing. I am hoping that I will find a way to connect to the characters, but being 2 books in it doesn't look promising.

I feel this book is like most YA books 14 and up.
I only rated this book 3 out of 5 stars.

The Lost Saint by Bree Despain

Grace saved Daniel, but can she save herself in the end? Or will she give in to the cravings that are coming at her full force. Will she share everything that is happening to her? When Daniel quits training Grace a mysterious stranger shows up to pick up the pieces and train Grace. But will he be the one to save Grace or destroy her in the end? And is Grace the only one keeping a secret? Daniel always seems to be busy and unable to talk. And more then that he seems like something is wrong but Grace cannot put her finger on it. Not to mention that Graces brother Jude is still missing. Will Grace go looking for Jude or will she let things be like everyone wants her to? And the phone call warning Grace leaves her with more questions then answers, who is coming for her, and what do they really want?


I love these characters. And once again was hooked. It is a middle book but didn't have the DRAGGING feeling that many middle books have. This was a BONUS!

Once again 5 out of 5 stars!

12 and up!
