(Here are links to my reviews of books 1 and 2 in this series if you haven't read them yet: Unearthly and Hallowed)
In the final part of Clara's
tale, she finds herself at Stanford with Christian and Angela. She is
still heartbroken about leaving behind Tucker, her first love, but knows
she has to get over him and move on with her life (which Christian is
more than willing to help her with). However, Clara doesn't get much
time to be a typical college student, because there is unrest in the
battle between good and evil and Clara is right in the center of it. And
the fact that a depressed fallen angel in love with her dead mom is
following her around is not exactly helpful.
**************SPOILERS AHEAD******************
I liked Christian
from the beginning and was really hoping that Clara would choose him in
the end. Tucker is great and all and I understand why she chose him, but
even in the first book, I liked Christian better. His ending was kind
of sad, but it is nice to know that he has a successful career and a
family, even if that family is his sister and her kid. It was also sweet
that Angela and Christian were related and didn't know it. I had
wondered since Unearthly why there were absolutely no sparks between the
two, but now it all makes sense. I have to say though, I thought that
ending was a cop-out. Tucker becoming a prophet-really? To me it seemed
like the author stuck in a new concept last minute just to make a happy
ending because she realized Clara couldn't end up with Christian as was
originally planned. Nevertheless, this book was a satisfying ending and I
recommend this series to anyone who hasn't read it. Even though you
know the ending now if you've read this review.
4.6 stars.
The past few years have
held more surprises than part-angel Clara Gardner could ever have
anticipated. Yet from the dizzying highs of first love, to the agonizing
low of losing someone close to her, the one thing she can no longer
deny is that she was never meant to live a normal life.
Since
discovering the special role she plays among the other angel-bloods,
Clara has been determined to protect Tucker Avery from the evil that
follows her . . . even if it means breaking both their hearts. Leaving
town seems like the best option, so she’s headed back to California -
and so is Christian Prescott, the irresistible boy from the vision that
started her on this journey in the first place.
As Clara makes
her way in a world that is frighteningly new, she discovers that the
fallen angel who attacked her is watching her every move. And he’s not
the only one. . . . With the battle against the Black Wings looming,
Clara knows she must finally fulfill her destiny. But it won’t come
without sacrifices and betrayal.
In the riveting finale of the Unearthly series, Clara must decide her fate once and for all.
