However, when the story (and I say 'story' in the loosest sense of the word) kicked in, Halo went from intriguing to banal in about three lines. I loved this bit of the story – it was well observed, well written and spoke of great promise for the rest of the book. Halo starts with newly incarnate angel Bethany getting used to her life on Earth. This book is a clear example of why we have the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover.' The cover is exquisite.
Falling in love was not part of the holy mission, and Gabriel and Ivy fear Bethany won't be in the position to save anybody if she continues down the path she's on. A fascination that leads to a dangerous attraction to human boy, Xavier. She's overwhelmed by human life, fascinated by all the experiences available to her in human form. They have to conceal their true nature – hiding the glow of their skin, their wings – a task not easy for Bethany, the least experienced of the trio. When three angels – Gabriel, Ivy and Bethany – arrive in a quiet town, their mission is to bring good to a world in danger of falling into darkness. With a plot near identical to Twilight, there's nothing original or entertaining enough to sustain the story over 400+ pages. A promising start that descends into fairly vapid boy-swooning. Her passions include old-school country music, theology, singing and performing.Summary: A lesson in not judging a book by its cover. Now, she lives in Hollywood, where she hopes to combine novel writing and acting as Alexandra Grace. Relocate to Oxford, Mississippi, she divided her time between the USA and Australia, while she studied and writed. The Halo series is her first YA fantasy romances and marks her international debut. At 14, she sold it to HarperCollinsPublishers, that also bought the two next novels of The Strangest Adventures series. She began writing a Children's novel when she was only 13, inspired by J.M. In 2006, she won the State Legacy Public Speaking competition. She has loved stories for as long as she can remember. She is the only child of an English Teacher and a Drama Teacher and attended, in her own words, "many" schools including MacRobertson Girls' High School, Ruyton Girls' School and Eltham College. Alexandra Emily Adornetto was born on 18 April 1992 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
