This book was one I've wanted to read ever since I heard it was being published. Alexandra Adornetto was first published when she was 15, and now she is 18 and Halo is her fourth book, the first in her second series.Halo is the story of an angel named Bethany, who, with her siblings Gabriel and Ivy, are sent to earth to combat evil forces in the town of Venus Cove. They have to hide their true identities, and their wings. But it isn't long before Bethany falls in love with the school captain, Xavier Woods. Xavier is perfect, and it isn't long from then until they are an item. Then Bethany reveals to him her secret. All is wonderful for the couple even though they know they have limited time together, until a new person arrives, and starts to shake things up.
I loved The Strangest Adventures series, and this book was good, but I have to say it didn't amaze me like those other ones. The character Xavier was a little TOO perfect to be believable, and it all felt a lot like Twilight because of the supernatural being falling in love with a human theme.
That said, it was still a good book, and much better paced than Twilight. Xavier and Bethany are super cute together, so if you like that kind of thing then it's a great read.
And the fantasy side of it was very interesting, as it was based on facts found in the Bible.
Butterflies: 7 out of 10
Recommended for: teenagers over 14 (particularly girls, but guys could learn something from Xavier!)
Warnings: a bit of language, drinking and sexual stuff
