IS LOVE A GREAT ENOUGH POWER AGAINST EVIL?

Three angels are sent down to bring good to the world:Gabriel the warrior; Ivy the healer;and Bethany, a teenage girl who is the least experienced of the trio. But she is the most human, and when she is romantically drawn to a mortal not, the angels fear she will not be strong enough to save anyone - especially herself...

My review- The fact that the author of this book " Alexandra Adornetto" wrote this book at the age of 18 surprised me as i thought of her as more in the age of mid 20's.  In my honest opinion, my first impression on this book was not a very good one as the thought of that this book is about angels made me less encouraged t to read it as i am not a person who is very fond of fantasy books, however as known by the famous saying " Do not judge a book by it's cover" i gave it a go and the next thing you know i could not take my eyes away from this book a single second as acknowledging the passionate and caring relationship of Bethany and Xavier of how they both could not stay away from each other a single moment which goes to show that " Love can make you do some crazy things" which does not happen very often in many books. The knowledge of prospects of heaven and hell has given me quite a good knowledge about philosophy and ethics and I have found out some stuff that I had not even knew before! This will come handy in my lessons! :D As the novel came gradually to an end it finished with a dramatic cliffhanger which suddenly makes you realise that there is a second part to this novel! I cannot wait till i read the next part " Hades " and fingers crossed nothing would dissapoint me and is hopefully as good or even better than Halo. Its extraordinary that before I despised reading any sort of books about angels and after reading Halo things have defiantly changed and in future i hope to read more fantastic books about angels. Lastly I would like to say a big WELL DONE to the author of this book on doing a tremendous job and making not only me but i am sure other readers gripped on this books just like I was! However the reason why I did not give it 5/5 stars is because it did not feel as original to me as I thought it would have, I guess I was expecting more of a dramatic, mysterious plot rather than everything going right in the book there has to be some dilemma to me in order for me to give it full marks!
