It's different from anything out there and might very well pave the way for other such stories. Readers looking for a romantic focus with a lighter form of the supernatural thrown into the mix will find themselves intrigued by the latest novel to enter the teen market.

Alexandra Adornetto masterfully wove words together to create such a cohesive point of view that never felt forced the way some other novels do. The way Bethany viewed Earth felt very natural, like something an angel would think. It's easy to envision the kind of world the angels came from and to see our own society through their eyes. Halo is full of rich, vibrant detail that paints an image in the reader's mind. She is more 'human' than the other angels and is able to share their emotions, which leads her into trouble when she falls for a mortal boy at her new school. It takes a lot of time for them to adjust to life as 'humans,' especially Bethany, who is experiencing everything anew. The three messengers have descended in human form in order to combat the forces of evil infiltrating mankind. The book revolves around Bethany, a young angel visiting Earth for the first time, her brother Gabriel, an Arch Angel, and sister Ivy, a seraphim. If the bright, liquid-gold light beckoning from the cover doesn't pull your eyes away from the black, angsty covers surrounding it, its premise will surely grab the attention of the reader looking for something 'different.' The novel initially caught my attention due to the fact that even though it was dealing with the supernatural theme of angels currently being made popular by smash hits such as Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush and Lauren Kate's Fallen (both of which have striking book jacket design that makes me envious every time), the angels in Halo are still messengers of God. In a teen market overcrowded with dark, brooding supernatural novels, 'Adornetto's dialogue feels fresh and real.
