Review: Halo by Alexandra Adornetto


Review for Halo (Halo #1) by Alexandra Adornetto

Summary:

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.
The angel’s mission is urgent, and dark forces are threatening. Will love ruin Bethany or save her?


--SPOILERS ALERT--

Halo is the first in a trilogy, where three angels—Gabriel, Ivy and Bethany— were sent to earth, specifically in the small town of Venus Cove to keep the dark agents from causing havoc.
Everything was going according to plan, until the youngest angel, Bethany, has fallen in love with Xavier Woods, a human boy. Well who wouldn’t love him anyway? He’s handsome, buff, smart, and the school captain too.
Will their love be enough to keep them together especially if it involves breaking the rules that the heavens had set for them? Well that is just the least of their problems, because when another gorgeous guy, Jake Thorn arrives as a new student in their school, bad things started to happen in the sleepy town of Venus Cove…

Mercy Thompson's sexy next-door neighbor is a werewolf.

She's tinkering with a VW bus at her mechanic shop that happens to belong to a vampire.

But then, Mercy Thompson is not exactly normal herself ... and her connection to the world of things that go bump in the night is about to get her into a whole lot of trouble.

New Series From Maria Snyder


Maria Snyder, author of the popular "Study Series" is back with another wonderful book entitled Touch of Power, the first in the Healer Series.

Paperback, 400 pages
Expected publication: December 20th 2011 by Mira

Summary:

Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan assumes their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Territories, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos.

Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince—leader of a campaign against her people. As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for. Because the price of peace may well be her life....



We're looking forward for this book, and we hope that this will be as wonderful as her previous books. Anyway, which book cover do you prefer?
