Hallowed (Unearthly, #2)

by Cynthia Hand

The heart-wrenching, unputdownable sequel to Unearthly.

Part-angel Clara is still reeling from the choice she was forced to make amidst the vicious forest fire of her nightmares. Now, torn between her love for Tucker and a destiny that will separate them, Clara is faced with another shocking revelation: someone she loves will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows is that the fire was just the beginning.

Cynthia Hand’s debut series has already become a hit with fans of paranormal romance.

The most compelling books for teens since Fallen, Unearthly and Hallowed have received rave reviews from critics and teen readers alike.

After Clara fails at her purpose at the end of the last book and saved Tucker instead of meeting Christian, she feels like it’s all over, like she failed. She loves Tucker so much, and doesn’t regret what she did, but now she waits to see what the consequences will be.

When she starts to have more visions, in her sleep now as opposed to in daylight, she wonders if they’re like from before. Are they just dreams or something that must be done next. Her mom says one’s purpose can last longer, but now she’s even more confused as to what is expected of her. When the vision this time hints that she’s at someone’s funeral, she has to figure out who it is, and how or when they died.

In her final year, not only does she have her angel problems, like a certain Black Wing stalking her, but the idea of going away for College and leaving Tucker scares her. She doesn’t know what she wants to or should do. It’s a complicated time for her right now, and the impending loss really hits her. Of course the confusion of her feelings for Christian, the ones she should have had from the last book, keep coming back. She even mocks herself about love triangles!
There’s even more secrets and crazy twists in this book compared to the first! I loved every second of it, and think it’s the best angel series I’ve read so far.

Recommended for young adult fans of paranormal, angels and romance.
