She just received her purpose - a task that all angel-bloods have to fulfill in their lives. It is pretty much a breath of fresh air.Ĭlara is an angel-blood (1/4th angel, 3/4th human). It is not focused on some girl's obsession over a guy who treats her like crap. It is not driven by the main character's stupidity, like many paranormal romances are. The book never even once made me roll my eyes - something that I always expect to do when I open any teen romance.

I was cautious and not trusting of positive reviews of it, and it ended up exceeding my expectations. Honestly, after reading at least one of the following books - Hush, Hush, Halo, Fallen - do you really believe there is a good paranormal YA romance about angels out there? A book about proms, love triangles, hawt boys, that doesn't make you want to hurl? No? Neither did I before reading Unearthly. Unearthly is a moving tale of love and fate, and the struggle between following the rules and following your heart. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny? Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.Īs Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place and out of place at the same time. Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. In the beginning, there's a boy standing in the trees.Ĭlara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel.
