About this ebook
A teen discovers that she is part angel in this first book in an epic trilogy of love and fate, perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare and Stephanie Garber.
Clara Gardner has always been ordinary—until now. When she starts having visions of a raging forest fire and a beautiful, mysterious boy she's destined to save, she learns the truth: she's part angel, and this fire is her purpose, the task she was put on Earth to fulfill. Determined to succeed, Clara moves her family to a small Wyoming town to be closer to the boy from her visions, Christian Prescott.
But nothing could have prepared her for Tucker Avery, the infuriating, irresistible local cowboy who threatens to derail her destiny entirely. As the day of the fire draws closer, Clara must decide: will she follow the rules of her angelic purpose, or follow her heart?

I just recently finished reading Unearthly and I completely fell in love with the characters. Cynthia Hand is such an creative author when it comes to diving right into Clara's head. Clara struggle to do what is right or follow her heart is something everyone can relate too. I plan on starting to read Hallowed tomorrow and I'm just excited to see what happens between Tucker and Clara and Clara and Christian! I couldn't put Unearthly down. That is how good the book is.

I just finished unearthly, and was so pleasantly surprised with what a wonderful read it was!!! Plus it was on sale. I am looking extremely forward to the next book in the series which will be out soon. The characters are charming, the imagery is extremely detailed, and I love all the historical facts about angels, etc. it was so nice to get away from all the vampire and werewolf stuff and come across such a heartfelt YA read. I am 25 and this book still got it's hooks into me; Tucker Avery... Swoon!

This was honestly one of the best books I've read in a while. I can't wait to read the next one. This book had an amazing storyline. Please tell me they will be making this into a movie.
