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.

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!
