Goodreads : 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.
My review : I have to admit that I was a little disappointed by this book... I was happy to be back in this world. This gothic Gatlin will all its superstitions, the Casters, and all these wonderful characters : Ethan, Lena, Link, Ridley ect... It was one of the first YA series with which I was really fan so yeah I have a special link with this series.But for this one I didn't know if I wanted to give it 3 stars or 4 stars because I wasn't into it. It wasn't slow but the plot didn't get me hooked like the first and especially the second did.
I don't know I heard so many good things about this third book I didn't think it was going to be like that. We didn't see Link and Liv very often and they are my favorite characters... I was also disappointed because I found the plot very predictable. Indeed I figured the whole thing out really fast...
On the other hand it was a good book because it was a lot more dark and twisted and the characters are changing, growing. I know it's a really mixed review. I also loved the end. I'm huge fan of these kind of tragic ending and yeah I was nearly crying when I read the final pages. This cliffhanger is just cruel.
Even if I didn't like this book as much as I was expecting I can't wait to read the next book. It'll be the final one and I want to know how this series end, there is still a lot of questions unanswered.
