I have many favorite series in the YA realm, but if I were to be forced at gunpoint to pick an absolute favorite, it would have to be the Beautiful Creatures series. After Beautiful Chaos ended (and I thought the series was a trilogy, not a quadrilogy), I thought it was a sad but amazing end to Lena & Ethan's story. And when I learned there would be a fourth, I was happy of course (I will always, ALWAYS want to spend more time with characters I love) but also a little concerned. The series ended on a perfect note (which, incidentally, is incredibly rare) and how in the world would Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl manage to top that? Oh, me of little faith.

This book is just as amazing as the other three in the series---just as dark, just as tortured and just as sweet. I'm incredibly sad that their story is over, but at the same time, I can't wait to see what Margaret Stohl and Kami Garcia write next.

Highly recommended.
