Beautiful Redemption by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl

Beautiful Redemption (Beautiful Creatures, #4)

by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

Is death the end . . . or only the beginning?
Ethan Wate has spent most of his life longing to escape the stiflingly small Southern town of Gatlin. He never thought he would meet the girl of his dreams, Lena Duchannes, who unveiled a secretive, powerful, and cursed side of Gatlin, hidden in plain sight. And he never could have expected that he would be forced to leave behind everyone and everything he cares about. So when Ethan awakes after the chilling events of the Eighteenth Moon, he has only one goal: to find a way to return to Lena and the ones he loves.
Back in Gatlin, Lena is making her own bargains for Ethan's return, vowing to do whatever it takes -- even if that means trusting old enemies or risking the lives of the family and friends Ethan left to protect.

Worlds apart, Ethan and Lena must once again work together to rewrite their fate, in this stunning finale to the Beautiful Creatures series.

This installment reaffirmed why I love this series so much. Don't get me wrong, it was heart wrenching, but I loved every second of it. Other authors take note: THIS is how do you finish off a series and leave your readers happy. I was left with a feeling of closure after reading this. Closure at the end of the series is practically a luxury these days. It still left me wanting more, but only because I didn't want the experience to the end (not in a "loose ends" sort of way). Thankfully, I remembered that there are a few novellas floating around out there!

I cannot say enough about the audiobook experience for this series. It has made Kevin T. Collins one of my favorite narrators and to make it even better, Khristine Hvam joins him in Beautiful Redemption to voice Lena's POV. Hvam was already on my favorite narrator list (Frostbite, Shadow Kiss, Daughter of Smoke and Bone series). But even more than the narrators, this audiobook series excelled at creating and maintaining the mood of the story through music and sound effects. Well done all around! ~The Audiobookworm
