Halo by Alexandra Adornetto
2.0

Bethany is, like, a teenage angel. She’s young for an angel, where as her brother and sister have thousands of years on her, experience wise as well as in age. When they are sent down to earth to help thwart the dark forces, Bethany enrolls in the nearby high school, her task: to change the views of the teenagers there to look up to God and to support Him. Basically, to make everyone truly believe again. As she prepares for her task, she falls in love with a mortal boy. Though her siblings are wary of her utter, almost pure, humanity, she goes for it, following her gut feeling. Waiting for her powers to develop, she and the mortal connect, date, and she begins to fall in love. As the Dark Forces make their way to their small city, will Bethany be ready for them? Or will she be trapped?

An interesting read, though a little cheesy and cliche, but good. For me, it was kind of like ‘The Devil’s Kiss’ by Sarwat Chadda, a book that I had detested the moment I began reading (I still regret buying it), mixed with ‘Hush, Hush’ by Becca Fitzpatrick, which I had loved. A mix between those two books would result in one like this; not amazing, but still not bad.
