Hallowed by Cynthia Hand

I'll start off by saying there WILL be a book 3 released in January 2013 called Boundless. Thank goodness!! This book was a great sequel, and it made me cry like a baby! You could feel the emotions each character experienced so clearly. Some things were solved but there are still lingering questions. Clara and Christian further investigate their purpose, since they thought it was to save each other initially. (Of course it wasn't that easy.) Clara is still in love with Tucker, who is a character you can't help but love as well. I've always been fascinated with the topic of angels, and this book really gives an interesting take involving historical and biblical aspects. It has an ending, but like I said, it just doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel over. Now, I'll be counting days until the next book!! Definitely a great read.

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand

This book was actually a reread. Clara is an angel-blood. Every angel-blood has a purpose to fulfill. She has these visions that lead her, her mom, and her younger brother Jeffrey to Wyoming. She is apparently supposed to save this guy named Christian during a fire, but she is confused as to what her true purpose is involving Christian. Of course, complications arise when she falls in love with Tucker Avery (her friend's twin brother) during the summer before fire season. She ends up faced with a monstrous choice amidst startling revelations!! I am immediately starting the sequel and I can't wait to find out what happens next!
