Dream Dark: A Beautiful Creatures Story

by Kami Garcia, Margaret Stohl Narrated by Kevin T. Collins

Overview

When Link joined his best friend, Ethan Wate, on a quest through a mysterious network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, he knew the journey would be dangerous. But returning home to Gatlin, South Carolina was just the beginning...

Wounded during a climactic battle, Link discovers that tending his injuries won't be as simple as visiting a doctor and that healing his arm should be the least of his worries. For being bitten by a Supernatural does more than break the skin -- it changes a person, inside and out, turning Link into someone more and more like the dark creature who injured him.

In this never-before-seen short story by New York Times bestselling authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, listeners witness Link's heart-racing transformation. Dream Dark is set before the much-anticipated third Beautiful Creatures novel, Beautiful Chaos, and as a special bonus includes an exclusive sneak peek at the first five chapters.

Editorial Reviews

OCTOBER 2011 - AudioFile

This short story, set in the Beautiful Creatures universe, recounts Link’s transformation into a succubus and the ways he and his friends are coping with the changes that took place at the end of the previous book in the series, BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS. Kevin Collins gives a passionate performance, with Southern accents that never go over-the-top. Several characters can read each other’s thoughts, and Collins uses a slight breathiness for this mind-speak. A dream sequence features music and spooky echo effects amid the narration. Collins’s voice has earnest, youthful qualities that are a great fit for the magic and mystery of this paranormal romance. To whet appetites, the first five chapters of the next book, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, follow the short story. G.D. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
