Hallowed: An Unearthly Novel
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. Grades 7-10. --Karen Cruze
