Dream Dark by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

        
Dream Dark
(Caster Chronicles #2.5)
by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
Summary from Goodreads:

"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, readers 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."



Rating:

So when they said short story, they really mean short. 

I don’t know if this highlighted on Link’s transformation or on the glimpse of Beautiful Chaos. My guess is, it’s probably the latter because there wasn’t much to say about the former; considering it was like 30 pages or so. 

I grabbed a copy of this after immediately seeing that it was about Link. Who doesn’t love Link? So, I was really happy to get to read something focused on him even for just a while. 

Unfortunately, there wasn’t such a big deal to it. And the ending seemed a bit confusing. I guess it will probably make sense when the third instalment of this series comes out. I didn't read the content about Beautiful Chaos, I'd rather wait for it to be published than go restless over this teaser.
