A demon is loose in the human world, and if it finds Locklyn’s twin sister, Haven, it won’t just kill her. It will steal her power and use it to destroy everything.
I’ve never met Haven, but that doesn’t matter. Finding her before the demon does is the only thing that matters. If I fail, Locklyn loses her sister, and the human and creature worlds may not survive what comes next.
Protecting Haven should be simple: keep her hidden, keep her alive, and don’t let her get under my skin. But she isn’t what I expected. She’s stronger than she looks and the more time I spend with her, the harder it becomes to remember she’s supposed to be a mission, not a temptation.
With the demon closing in and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep Haven safe.
Even if it destroys me first.
The games are over. The kingdoms are falling. And chaos is ready to claim its queen.

Huge thanks to @julie.hall.author for the review copy. This is my honest and voluntary review
Oh my gosh! I loved the way this story concluded. It’s everything I could have hoped for and more! I loved getting to know Haven and the journey she goes on with the characters we already know and love. I enjoyed the dynamic between Becks and Haven, the high stakes plot, and nonstop action. This one definitely left me with a smile on my face.

Thank you to the author for a gifted copy of the book.
It is so surreal to reach the end of a series which you have adored so much. The first two books were on Talon & Locklyn, which left our Becks in the midst of heartbreak and the world in grave danger. The second book ended on a cliffhanger, which left me wondering what this new plot will bring and how the dynamics will be among all these amazing characters??
The best thing this book did was end on a positive note, where everything got wrapped up, and I was sitting on the edge of the window watching everything happen in the book. This series feeds the imagination of mere humans that supernaturals may exist somewhere, and we don’t know about it. I think that is because the blend between the worlds and creatures was done so beautifully.
The same feeling I got when I read Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter world, mind you, that work is very close to my heart. And Julie Hall ignited that same love for her characters. The chemistry between Becks and Haven was fabulous, and the bridge between Becks and Talon was just wow. Seeing them getting along after everything was perfect.
It is a must-read series, and now you can binge-read all three books to get the maximum feel of it. The story had everything we readers need to enjoy a fantasy read. It was calm at times and intense in others, and a danger coming on their doorsteps that cannot be avoided. They will have to face it, whether they are prepared or not. The twists and turns kept me captivated and motivated to devour it in a day.
Queen of Chaos was a really nice conclusion to the Creatures of Chaos series, and I’m glad it ended up being Becks’s story. At the end of book two, it felt like the next installment might shift to someone else, but I wasn’t completely sure where things were headed. I was happy to see Becks get the focus here.
Even though this entire series is classified as YA, this book felt the most YA to me out of the three. I think part of that comes down to the pacing. Since this story was packed into a single book instead of spread across two, everything moved exceptionally fast and the whole thing felt like a whirlwind from start to finish.
That said, I did still believe the romance, and I absolutely bought the tension between Becks and Haven. Their dynamic worked for me, and I enjoyed them together. I just don’t know if I fully believed they were deeply in love after only two weeks. I think I needed a little more time with them and a little more room for the relationship to breathe emotionally.
I also think that even though the stakes were technically higher in this book, they somehow didn’t feel quite as urgent as they did in the previous two. Again, I think that comes back to how condensed everything was. Because so much had to happen so quickly, the story didn’t always get the chance to sit with its emotional moments, and some of the bigger developments felt a bit rushed because of it.
Overall, though, I really enjoyed the story. I liked the characters, I had fun reading it, and I thought it wrapped up the series in a satisfying way.
The first 2 books follow Locklyn, Becks and Talon from an academy for magical creatures to deadly trials where Locklyn competes to get win powers as a magicless person in a magical world. Book 2 picks up where book one ends and Locklyn and Talon end up finding a way into the human world to find Becks who was trapped there. The story wraps up so nice Locklyn choses one of the guys and things are good, until they aren't right at the end.
That's where book 3 starts, we find out that Locklyn has a twin sister and the prophecy is really about her and now they have to find her. The story is good, the world was already built in the first 2 books, but now we get to see more. The descriptions of the world are so good, imagine a red honeymoon suite of horror! The book is a good balance of ups and downs, travelling, playing games to training to the fights at the end. We have new characters, Haven her parents and her friends Kendra and Tate, a body possessing demon and we also get the characters from book 1 and 2 as well and its a good mix of the original characters and new ones. The relationships between the characters are so good from the awkwardness of Becks and Locklyn as former loves to the new dynamic between Becks and Haven as they figure out what they are. I started to shed a tear at the end during the last fight and also laughed at Imogen who comes back at the end.
Overall a great read, a good ending to a trilogy and I'm sad its over but I can't wait to get my copy of this gorgeous book for my shelf!
The Creatures of Chaos series reaches its thrilling conclusion, bringing the adventures of Locklyn, Becks, and Talon to a satisfying close for me. It's has been a fun and enjoyable journey throughout all three books!
Julie puts us right back into their world with her immersive world building and plot movement. There is a smooth flow throughout and it never drops. It is easy to get lost in the book and not want to put it down.
Locklyn's twin sister, Haven, needs to stay hidden so a demon doesn't find her to destroy everything, along with stealing her power. She definitely has quite the adventure. The banter is so much fun!
I loved this book and the entire series! The writing captivates you from the start, drawing you into the story. You truly feel like a part of the story, experiencing every moment alongside the characters. I was fully entrenched in the book, I didn't pull a lot of quotes; so you definitely need to read it to find them for yourself!
This story, along with the entire series, is truly exceptional. If you haven't had the chance to read book one, I highly suggest you add it to the top of your reading list to become immersed in this captivating world!
Thank you Julie and BookFunnel for the ARC. I am leaving my review voluntarily.
"You know what people say about bravery? It doesn't mean you're not scared. It means you keep going anyway..."
This was the book I didn’t know I needed — finally Becks gets his happily ever after, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! His story is the perfect mix of swoony romance, tender moments, and action packed battles that keep you flipping pages late into the night!
The pacing felt faster than the first two books, which makes sense since Becks only gets this one installment to tell his journey of love and fresh beginnings. I also loved how the spotlight shifted to Haven, Locklyn’s twin sister, who suddenly finds herself hunted by the demon that escaped in the previous book. Seeing the world through her perspective — running, hiding, and fighting to survive — added so much tension and heart.
As for the romance, Becks and Haven’s chemistry surprised me in the best way. I thought it might feel strange since Becks once loved Locklyn, but Haven isn’t just “the twin.” Once they truly got to know each other, their connection felt natural and healing, helping Becks let go of his past.
Overall, this was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. I’m sad to say goodbye, but seeing familiar faces from earlier books team up for one last epic showdown against the demon made it all the more rewarding. I’m definitely looking forward to whatever new adventures Julie Hall takes us on next!

The end of this trilogy was nothing like I expected, but I also don't really know what I was expecting from this.
This is the third and final book of the creatures of chaos series and it was such a wonderful ending to this story. This story started out as a love triangle, and by the end of book two the triangle was over and there was a clear choice that Locklyn had made. I was a little nervous going into book 3 because I wasn't sure what was going to happen with this relationship dynamic. What I didn't expect was for this book to not be Locklyn's book. Yes she was there and present in this story but it wasn't from her perspective, but rather the perspective of the guy she didn't pick and his new love story.
I don't want to give any kind of spoilers, but the dynamics of this relationship were strange, not like Jacob imprinting on a baby weird, but also something I wasn't expecting. I do feel like all of the characters involved handled everything really well, even if it was just a little odd.
I do love that the fantasy elements were wrapped up in this book really well and I love how this story ended.
I had the honor of being apart of Julie Hall's Queen of Chaos hype team. I have been a long time fan of all her books. She is such a unique writer that keeps you guessing until the last minute. The Creatures of Chaos series is a fantastic epic journey that is so original that it hooks you from book one. This series has trials, love triangles, lost and found family, bromance and earth shattering love story. The main characters and world are so well written that I could picture every detail in mind as if I was apart of that story. The first two books lead you down a magical rabbit hole and lead you into the final battle and perfection of Queen of Chaos! I laughed, I cried and mourned the ending of this spectacular series. I have given five stars 🌟 across the whole series and cannot believe this is the end for these badass characters. I want more of everything! Thank you Julie Hall for creating such an amazing original universe for this community. We needed something that would grip us and keep us wanting more. I look forward to your next work of art.
I didn't realize until I started reading this one that we were done with Lochlyn's story (or well she wasn't the focus) and that this was Becks' book but honestly I loved that. I thought Talon and Lochlyn's stories were ended so nicely in book 2 and wasn't sure where it would go but telling Becks and Haven's story was a perfect compliment and fitting end to the series. I liked how their relationship developed and the rocky parts caused by the unusual circumstances felt natural and real and expected. I do wish we had a bit more of Haven and Lochlyn together and figuring out their relationship too but what we did get did again feel pretty realistic - Haven not knowing how to react to her sister being there and it changing her family dynamics made sense. I was happy that not only did Becks find his person in Haven but you could see his growth from who he was in books 1 and 2 and how he had learned from past mistakes and how all the turmoil with Lochlyn set him finally in the right space for Haven, and they were very cute together.

Queen of Chaos is book three and the end to the Creatures of Chaos series. This book is a dual-perspective story following Becks and Haven. The dynamics between Becks and Haven and their growing relationship were cute and endearing at times. This being Beck's story felt like it wrapped up loose ties from book two. Even though the story takes place in a little amount of time, the romance and tension felt organic to me. It was a love at first sight kind of story for Becks. Haven's differences were done well and not just a cut and paste copy of her sister. The plot was intense at times, in a good way, and other times you kind of forgot there was a threat when it focused on the relationship between main characters. Shoutout to the bromance I wasn't expecting.
Overall I am very pleased with the way things wrapped up.
This book has tropes including: He falls first, dual POV, and forced proximity.
Dual POV He falls first Forced proximity Protector x girl in danger She's the mission Touch her & ☠️ off-limits romance Slow burn Save the girl, save the world Found family Enemies to lovers Fated mates Accidental bonding/shared magic ☠️ competition Love triangle Shifter mmc Supernatural Creatures Magicless FMC in a Supernatural World Secret dating Bad boy with a heart of gold
“ because from here on now, my home is in a place anymore, it’s a person. It’s you.”
This is the final and third book in the series in its written so beautifully and wrapped up fantastic. I loved Haven how she showed such strength encourage. Seeing Lachlan in here in the Haven fight to save the world. I was on the edge of my seat. I was torn but happy to see their story. Seen back. The conclusion wrapped up for Lachlan, Haven, Beck, and Talon story was everything. I enjoyed this story so much. It was so beautiful of heart, racing action and passionate romance. You’ll definitely want to read this series! I loved teen Haven‘s journey play out. The high-stakes plot was so addictive and I enjoyed the dynamics between Beck and Haven. Their chemistry was electric. The continued creatures of chaos world is so fantastic and fascinating. This was a highly anticipated read for me and I cannot wait to receive my physical special edition that I pre-ordered. I’m so excited it’s so beautiful. I can’t wait.
I am obsessed with not only this book but the whole series! This was the perfect conclusion to the chaos series. I am really sad to say goodbye to these characters, I have loved the found family, the adventure and action, the romance and magic, but I am really happy with how the story wrapped up.I’ve loved becks from the very beginning and I am so happy that becks, haven and the rest of the characters that I love got there happy ending. I also loved Haven she was so strong and resilient, and the perfect match for becks. I was on the edge of my seat while reading this story especially the last couple of chapters while our beloved characters fought to save the world and each other. It was such an honor to be part of the julies chaos team for the last two books in this series. If you loved urban fantasy, magical realms, adventures/quests, found family, magical creatures and incredible romance you’ll love this series!
Creatures of Chaos by Julie Hall 5⭐ Thank you to Julie for providing me with an ALC! This was the perfect conclusion to the series. It gives nostalgic CW-show vibes, in the best way possible, packed with urban fantasy action and adventure. I am sad to say goodbye to these characters, but am so happy with how everything wrapped up. This story follows Becks and Locklyn's twin sister, Haven. If you love magical realms/quests, magical creatures, insta-love, he falls first, and adventures similar to shows like The Vampire Diaries/Legacies you'll enjoy this series!
Tropes from this series: ❤️🔥Slow Burn 🫶Found Family 🏫Academy Setting for Magical Creatures 🏙️Urban Fantasy ❤️Touch Her and Die ⚔️Trials ✨Hidden Powers 🌌Magical Realms 🔺Love Triangle (done well imo - because we all know who she is ends with)
Omg my two favorite audiobook narrators narrating a book together heaven! We were left on a cliff hanger that probably left so many people railing just like me! So hopefully this review does this new book justice! This book follows Heaven and Beck as they try to save the world that is falling apart around them. Heaven is Locklyn sister and is being hunted by demons and Becks is Locklyn’s best friend who just wants to protect Heaven. Heaven is supposed to be off limits to Beck but will love win always. Their chemistry sizzling and their banter is on point. The narrator bought these characters to life beautifully. They had me kicking my feet, laughing and holding my breath the whole time it was absolutely perfect. They just really drew me in and wouldn’t let be go until the whole story was told. I wish there was more but it was wrapped up very nicely.
I am so happy to have the redemption of Becks...He started out so sweet in start of the series and I truly wanted him to find his HEA and also to meet his match that would bring out the best of him. Haven was a wonderful character with her quick wit and biting banter with Becks and also her determination to fight back. I loved them getting to grow closer together, even if they both try to deny it. It was also so funny have the old characters back with the friendly picking that left me dying with laughter. This had so truly sweet and heartwarming moment and I could not have imagined a better end for them all. Lastly I have got to say I just love Imogen, she is great.
An incredible conclusion to a phenomenal series! What started out as what I like to call the "magical hunger games" turned into a beautiful story of power (both natural and supernatural), friendship, and love. I adored seeing our old crew - Lachlan for life - but getting to know the new characters and hear their stories was like breathing new life into a story I already adored. From start to finish, this book had me on edge. I was laughing, crying, and screaming a bit at the end (apologies to my husband for that). It broke me a bit inside, but mended me right up like I knew it would. I loved this trilogy from start to finish!!
THE FINAL CONCLUSION TO THIS BEAUTIFUL SERIES! What a journey it has been with these characters! Even though it was the last book, Julie made sure it was action packed until the very end. I also absolutely love love LOVED the way she wrapped up the story in the end, it was the perfect ending without it being over the top. I was so happy to see characters get the stories they deserved and see the others continue to thrive. Now I want to go rent a log cabin in the forest because those moments of the book will live in my head RENT FREE! Julie, you have a way with words and it’s absolutely perfection! I will miss Becks, Locklyn, Talon, Haven and the whole gang!
I love the chaos series!! This last book finally gives our man becks his love story. And gives us shirt allergic becks! I love this series and couldnt put any of the books down julie has a way with taking you on a journey catching your attention until the very last page. Locklyns twin haven is running from the released demon who is trying to destroy both creatures world and the human world. While on the run with becks they run into several mishaps and funy adventures while also dealing with the violence the demon leaves every where. Without spoiling the book it is a must read with twists and turns to keep you on edge.
Queen of Chaos eARC review. First off I need more Becks and Haven in my life. I loved their chemistry and romance. Second off I can’t believe this series is over! I’m on a book high from all three books! If you haven’t read the Creatures of Chaos series you must! Locklyn and Talon are a power couple and adorable together. I’m always team Talon but Becks has slid into the top spot as well! Specially all the shirtless moments. I can’t believe Haven is a ………… That blew my mind. (Didn’t say cause I didn’t want to give it away.)
I loved this series! I was nervous going into this book because the twins separated at birth trope is not my favorite and I was worried about not liking the match with Becks. Fortunately, I was invested in all the characters and needed to know what happened.
Becks POV was really enjoyable. Haven starts naive and grows throughout the book. Julie Hall made the whole relationship work but my favorite parts were Imogen, Ensley and Kade. Overall, a super fun series with magic, a prophecy, dragons and lots of other creatures.
what a fantastic ending. while the first 2 books follow Locklyn and Talon this one focuses on Becks and Haven. I love this series and hope to see more from this universe. maybe like a spin off following Ensley? I loved this series and im so happy I got the chance to read it.
I read books 1 and 2 in ebook format this one i listened to the audiobook and they did a great job. I will be going back and doing a reread of the first 2 on audiobook.
This was a great conclusion to the Creatures Of Chaos trilogy. I loved following Haven and Becks in this story as Becks protected Haven from the demon that was hunting her. This book had a fast pace, making it easy to fly through. This one kept me invested in the story from start to finish and I couldn’t wait to see how the series was going to end.

Wow! What a great ending to the Chaos series! This book is dual pov from the mmc and fmc viewpoints. It starts off a few months after the ending of the second book. One of the things i love best about Julie's writing is that she pulls you right into the story from page one. Queen of Chaos does exactly that. I was warned that this book would give me emotional damage and it was true. But, that's only because Julie makes you feel like you are part of the story. You fall in love with her characters. I tried guessing a few things and i was not able to predict successfully. It was a great surprise! Especially at the moment of the most emotional part. Oh, I need to mention, the mmc spends half of the book shirtless.
I love everything about this series. I love the author’s innate ability to build such a complex world, I love the characters…all of them but especially Locklyn, Talon, Ensley, Becks and Haven…I love that the group is faced with impossible odds and somehow by working together, they not only beat those odds but they surpassed even the most optimistic predictions. They turned impossible odds into an extraordinary triumph….much like the author did with this series.
Advanced Reader copy from the Author and let me just say it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I had been waiting for the finale chapter of the Chaos world and I am not disappointed! I instantly fell in love with Haven and Becks was already growing on me by the end of Kingdom of Chaos! Julie storytelling and writing is absolutely fantastic! If I could rate this more than 5 stars I would!
This is really really good! I had the pleasure of listening to an early copy of the audio. It's told from the perspective of Bex and Haven but all the characters are there. I love the way the series is wrapped up. I highly recommend reading it!
I pre-ordered the special edition as soon as it opened! Flipping gorgeous.
I enjoyed reading this book. I will say, it felt rushed in some areas and I kind of felt like maybe I was missing something from time to time with how fast it went, but overall that is the only "critical" thing I have to say about this book. Every single thing outside of that is something that I loved! The title definitely fits the story, for sure! I loved it!
