Adornetto, Alexandra. Halo, 484 pgs. Feiwel and Friends, 2010. $16.99. Language-G; Sexual Content-PG; Violence-PG. 17 year-old Beth is an angel sent to earth to enroll at Bryce Hamilton High School in Venus Cove, Australia. A Romeo and Juliet romance pursues when Beth meets the handsome, popular, and mysterious Xavier. Their romance is threatened when Jake, a demon, takes a special interest in befriending Beth and all havoc is let lose. The powers of good and evil are running rampant in Venus Cove, will good overcome evil? And, will love save or destroy Bethany? The first book in Adornetto’s angel trilogy is sure to be a hit with Twilight fans looking for a supernatural romance. Howerver, Adornetto’s immaturity shines through in her sappy, overdramatic, and lengthy writing. Editing out about half of the book would make it a much better read. MS/HS - ESSENTIAL.
