Overall impression:
Hallowed was an emotional follow-up to Unearthly, and I can't wait to see how this trilogy concludes.

Read the full review on Book Revels.

Actual rating-3.75/5 stars.
This was definitely an upgrade from the first book. Loved Tuck as always.

Solide 3 Sterne, vielleicht 3.5?
Es war definitiv besser als der erste Teil, hatte auch viel mehr Input, mehr spannung, gute Twists.

Meine Vermutung das die Autorin Potential hat wurde absolut bestätigt! Natürlich ist es noch so Middlegrade/Young adult und daher simpler aber sehr gut in diesen Bereichen (auch wenn es komplexer gehen würde wie andere Bücher beweisen, daher etwas abzug!)

Auf persönlicher Ebene bin ich (glaube ich) nicht einverstanden wie die Geschihcte sich entwickelt, befürchte ich. Aber vielleicht irre ich mich ja. Es gibt zwei Enden die ich mir für den nächsten Band vorstellen könnte und das eine enttäuscht mich etwas, könnte aber auf eine andere Art und weise gut sein. Hängt von der Schweibweise ab - potential, es gut zu machen, hat diese Autorin bzw diese Reihe jedenfalls!

Continuing on an excellent path. Really enjoyed this story.

like idk this still hits for me

I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did. The author relly captures that senior year of school (even if most characters are angels!)

Thoroughly enjoyed this read! So much love and sadness in her life. It's written perfectly and the feelings the protagonist goes through are relatable to any human going through the circumstances. Loved it. For girls 10-18yrs or supernatural lovers. Involves angels, love triangles and loss.

I'm glad I chose this book for my first audiobook because if it had been something boring, I may have tuned out a bit. But, as it stands, that was not the case with Hallowed.

From the very beginning I was enraptured with the story. Clara was a bit different in Hallowed than she was in Unearthly. I see a lot more growth in her in this book, especially at the end.

Clara goes through SO much in this story and I felt horrible for her. But, there were some redeeming moments, as well. Those made me feel like the was a light at the end of, poor, Clara's maudlin tunnel.

One of the other differences in Hallowed was that there was a lot less Tucker and a lot more Christian. And, while, being--initially--Team Tucker, this bothered me a bit, by the end I felt the "Team" lines blurring. And, sadly, it wasn't really Tucker's fault. We just get to know Christian a little bit better. And, honestly, I love that Ms. Hand did this. I feel like with most love-triangles that both pursuers don't get their fair-share of time. It's usually pretty much stacked in one's favor from the beginning.

But, because of all this, I now find myself extrememly anxious for the next book in this series. In fact, I may go crazy waiting.

This follow up to Unearthly was just as lovely as the first. As much of this book has to do with Clara being torn in both directions of the love triangle, it can seem like it would be any other YA novel out there. The difference here, both of the guys involved are really, really great in so many ways that it becomes heart wrenching. It’s easy to see why Clara is having trouble deciding what to do and who to open herself up to. Adding in the fact that she knows that someone she loves is going to die soon and it complicates her world even more.

Revelations are made that change everything and the future Clara is working towards. While there are many things that seem to be destined, there are other things that just throw a wrench in her world. The story is intriguing and often touching, it is certainly one of the best angel centered YA stories I’ve read.
