Celestra is a series of young adult novels about the life of 16-year old Skyla Messenger. Skyla’s life suddenly changes when she moves to a small island town. When she falls for two irresistible boys who also happen to be cousins, things get really interesting.
In this series, the author leaves mysteries that need to be explored throughout each book. There is a genuine appeal and novelty to the myth in the series that finds ways to distinguish itself from other series in a similar vein.
I found the mythology behind this paranormal book to be very interesting and intriguing. The underlying idea is that there are different factions of angels that have different abilities. The concept is that there is a certain faction that cannot be allowed to be together because they will produce strong offspring and will throw off the order and balance of things. This is quite different from most of the angel mythology and other books based on angels. The human aspect has probably intrigued me the most throughout the series.
The characters are really what keeps the story moving and interesting. The series starts off by establishing vivid characters, and snappy descriptions that keeps the readers attention and makes the series a page turner. The tragedy Skyla dealt with left her defiant and sarcastic in ways to cope with her unhappiness, but Skyla didn't strike me as your typical teenage girl. Instead, she shared her frustration and respect throughout the books towards various situations. Throughout the series she has multiple men throwing themselves at her. So who will she choose .... Gage, Logan, or Marshall?
Gage: I have to say I have been a Gage fan since book one! At first their relationship is fake to make everyone believe she is no longer with Logan, but as the story goes, she starts to fall for Gage ... harder and harder. Throughout the series, you see many different stages of Gage, from him blowing Skyla off to talking with her worst enemy, Chloe. After reading the series, I wasn't as much of a Gage fan as I was in the beginning.
Logan: In the beginning, Logan is somewhat selfish and striked me as the person who would never fully grasp putting anyone else first before him. As you read the books and learn more about Logan's history, it makes sense as to why he seemed like that in the beginning. By the end of the series, I was 50% for Logan and the other 50% for Gage. Logan changes and would do anything he could for Skyla. When you read the series, you will see what I mean.
Marshall: Skyla always runs to Marshall when she has a problem and he is always there to help her even with his sadistic and annoying remarks. She can always count on him. Their relationship is somewhat like a love - hate relationship, but in the end of the series, I truly feel like she really cares for Marshall and would be with him fully if there wasn't Gage or Logan in the picture.
Rating: 5/5
Addison Moore does an incredible job of making the world of angels seem possible and developed a set of characters people can relate to. I really enjoyed how the author kept my intrigued and interested throughout the series. Normally I would be wry of a long series, but I am so happy I chose to read this one!
