Hallowed
Description
For months Clara Gardner trained to face the fire from her visions, but she wasn't prepared for the choice she had to make that day. And in the aftermath, she discovered that nothing about being part angel is as straightforward as she thought.
Now, torn between her love for Tucker and her complicated feelings about the roles she and Christian seem destined to play in a world that is both dangerous and beautiful, Clara struggles with a shocking revelation: Someone she loves will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows for sure is that the fire was just the beginning.
In this compelling sequel to Unearthly, Cynthia Hand captures the joy of first love, the anguish of loss, and the confusion of becoming who you are.

Booklist Review
Surprising revelations continuously punctuate the second book of the Unearthly series, which circles around Clara's vision of a funeral. The part-angel Wyoming high school student is still torn between Tucker, a bronco-busting human, and the otherworldly Christian, but Hand has more in mind than just paranormal romance. The exploration of angelic hierarchies fascinates as does the tension built around concepts of free will and divine purpose. Can Clara literally stop an ordained death? Plot points skillfully set up the next book's action, which should be eagerly anticipated by fans.--Cruze, Karen Copyright 2010 Booklist
Horn Book Review
In Unearthly, part-angel Clara misinterpreted visions about her divine purpose, to unforeseen consequences. Overwhelmed by new revelations--such as her father's identity and her mother's impending death--Clara is still unsure about her true purpose (and whether she will accept it). Clara's romantic dilemma between human Tucker and fellow angel-blood Christian has depth, and her determination to make her own destiny is engaging. (c) Copyright 2012.
