Angels
A love triangle to set your heart soaring, says Stephanie Quinn.
Clara Gardener was born with a purpose; there is a reason why she was put on this earth, but why? She has known she is part-angel since she turned fourteen. She is a very realistic character who I can relate to easily as she suffers the same insecurities any teenager would face. She has visions of a captivating figure. “I open my mouth to call his name, only I don’t know it” these strange visions lead her to a new town where she joins a new school. Here she meets Christian, who she discovers is the boy from her visions. Everything seems to fall into place. She feels that she is there to save him from the fires. She meets a boy named Tucker, her enigmatic classmate who she grows feelings for. The love triangle in this book is one to certainly get your heart racing. Unearthly is a symbolic novel on love and fate, good and evil. Will Clara be ready to face her destiny? Fulfil her dreams, or follow her heart’s desire? Unearthly is filled with characters that you will be falling in love with.
