Halo Halo Trilogy Book 1 edition by Alexandra Adornetto Children eBooks

I honestly didn't have very high expectations for this book once I learned it was written by a teenager. But I shouldn't have judged this book by its cover (pun intended), because it was an absolute delight.

This story of an angel come to earth to help spread love and peace only to find love, herself, was fairly typical of most YA paranormal romances in terms of plot. But it was beautifully written (if, at times, slightly overwrought) and engaging, and extremely sophisticated for an author so very young. In addition, I think her youth added an authenticity to some of the dialogue, something that can be off-putting sometimes when a YA author hasn't been a kid for decades. I thought she did a wonderful job of character-building, as well.

I'm definitely looking forward to the second book of this planned trilogy!

Halo Halo Trilogy Book 1 edition by Alexandra Adornetto Children eBooks Reviews

Bethany Church is part of an angelic mission to bring Venus Cove back to religion and all things good. For her older brother archangel Gabriel and older sister Ivy this trip is old hat. This is Bethany's first time and she wants to experience everything human. She finds each experience interesting and if she doesn't like something she's grateful for the opportunity to try it anyway.

Gabriel will be teaching at the school that Bethany will be attending. Their mission is simple lead by example. Bethany assimilates herself into school life. At first she finds the other young people surrounding her vapid and shallow if not harmless. Then she meets Xavier Woods and Bethany finally understands. Xavier becomes her life. She actually has physical symptoms of distress when they are separated for too long. Bethany starts to loose interest in her mission and can only focus on her relationship.

Gabriel and Ivy are able to stay focused and both do a lot of good for the community. Neither one understands Bethany and how she feels human emotions so much more deeply than themselves. When things get serious between Xavier and Bethany Gabriel worries it will effect their purpose and cloud Bethany's judgement. The angels are about to learn their purpose in Venus Cove. The situation is about to get a lot worse and Xavier is the least of their problems.

I really am struggling with the rating I want to give this book. To be honest, I didn't care one way or the other. It had it's positives and it had it's negatives and they pretty much equal each other. I liked the angel/darkness story line but I really could have done without the over dramatic and over the top love story, more on that in a bit. I read the author interview questions and answers at the back of the book and found out that Ms. Adornetto was a senior in high school when she wrote Halo. This made the story line a little easier to swallow. I also enjoyed the way the story flowed. Ms. Adornetto took her time unfolding her story and I really found that helpful. It didn't feel rushed.

My biggest problem with Halo was that it had a Twilight feel for me and I couldn't shake it throughout the book. Girl comes to new school, falls instantly in love with most attractive most unavailable boy, they can't be together because their relationship can't possibly work (due to supernatural elements), and a triangle is introduced with a guy named Jake who is the complete opposite of the first love interest. My second problem was that I just didn't understand Xavier and Bethany. I mean their love is all consuming. Literally nothing else matters outside of each other. It got stale after a bit.

Halo would be a great read for someone looking for a young adult novel that has a strong relationship between the two main characters and a paranormal story line that is good versus evil. It just wasn't for me.
I loved, loved, loved this book!!!!!! I fell head over heels in love with this book!!! There are so many negative reviews about this series, that I put it off and put it off. I never should have done that. Once I started reading it, I couldn't find anything I didn't like. This book captured me, and I fell in love with the world the Alexandra created. All of the characters were amazing, especially Xavier and Gabriel.

Three angels came to Venus Cove to balance out the evil with good. Ivy and Gabriel has done this before, but it was a new experience to Bethany. She has never experienced anything like that before. She starts school and meets a friend named Molly. Also, Xavier starts paying attention to her which makes other girls jealous. All is good for awhile with the angels helping the town. Bethany and Xavier also fell for each other. Everything was perfect until Jake showed up. Bad things started to happen especially when Bethany turned him down. He was doing whatever it took to make her his.

Xavier won me over from the beginning. I absolutely fell in love with him. After Emily died, he put a wall up and wouldn't let anybody in. That all changed once Bethany came to town. Watching that wall break, and seeing the new light in his eyes was so touching. He can protect me anytime. The romance was to die for!!!! I loved all of their scenes together. I only wish that they would have gotten to go to the prom together. I didn't understand why the angels couldn't heal him.

I loved Bethany as a character. I got to enjoy experiencing new things as she experienced them for the first time. She isn't like the other angels. She connects to humans and Earth more easily than they do. It was nice watching her grow through the story. She started off so fragile, but then became strong.

I loved her brother and sister, Gabriel and Ivy. I can't wait to see what happens with them. They seemed to ease up in the story. They even started liking Molly and Xavier.

I can't wait to read Hades to get some more of Xavier!!! Of course, I want to know what happens next. I am already in love with this series!!! The characters and the story was beautifully written. I recommend this to all who love angel stories with an amazing romance!!!!
