Review - "Halo" by Alexandra Adornetto

Halo

(Halo #1)

by: Alexandra Adornetto

Publishing Date: 8/31/10

Publisher: Feiwel & Friends

Genre: YA

Source: Kindle Edition (Bought)

Buy: Amazon or Barnes and Noble

Description:

Three angels – Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, the youngest and most human – are sent by Heaven to bring good to a world falling under the influence of darkness. They must work hard to conceal their luminous glow, superhuman powers, and, most dangerous of all, their wings, all the while avoiding all human attachments.
Then Bethany meets Xavier Woods, and neither of them is able to resist the attraction between them. Gabriel and Ivy do everything in their power to intervene, but the bond between Xavier and Bethany seems too strong. Then comes the brooding and popular new transfer, Jake Thorn... who just so happens to be in Bethany's class. Something about Jake seems to be hiding something darker, something more powerful than expected. That thing, and Xavier, distracts Bethany to a point that Gabriel and Ivy are concerned.
The angel’s mission is urgent, and dark forces are threatening. Will love ruin Bethany or save her?

My Review:

(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka "The Book Worm")

***Warning Spoilers...do not read unless you've already read the book***

From the first chapter to the last chapter, Alexandra had me interested on learning more about the characters in the book. I have a huge fascination with Angels and this is one of the books that makes me crave more on learing about Angels. Bethany is a Angel is the training basically and from the very beginning she is enticed by the human race. She loves learning about love and everything else that pertains feelings. Her brother and sister tell her to remember her mission on Earth, but it's kind of hard when you have a boy that makes you forget your mission...Xavier Woods. A boy who has been closed up to love since his last girlfriend was killed in a fire. Bethany tested from the beginning to the end with her mission. She even comes across another boy who makes her seem different and who will do anything to disturb her well-being on Earth. Her Brother, Gabriel and her sister, Ivy have noticed a change in their area and they're there to fix it...but it seems things have turned upside down thanks to this strange boy in Bethany's school who just pops out of nowhere. Can they find out what is causing all the turmoil before their mission is failed? I'm really looking forward to this next book in the series because it left me hanging for more.

Alexandra Adornettoo...you definitely are an amazing writer and you've become one of my fave authors. I trully hope you do a book tour here in the states...otherwise I'll have to make a trip to Australia...which I definitely wouldn't mind since I've always wanted to visit there. =)
