Hallowed: An Unearthly Novel (Unearthly, 2)
For months Clara Gardner trained to face the fire from her visions, but she wasn't prepared for the choice she had to make that day. And in the aftermath, she discovered that nothing about being part angel is as straightforward as she thought.
Now, torn between her love for Tucker and her complicated feelings about the roles she and Christian seem destined to play in a world that is both dangerous and beautiful, Clara struggles with a shocking revelation: Someone she loves will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows for sure is that the fire was just the beginning.
In this compelling sequel to *Unearthly*, Cynthia Hand captures the joy of first love, the anguish of loss, and the confusion of becoming who you are.

OH BOY.
That was just...whoa. I was really just like...wow. And then I felt very much like...noooooooooooooooooo!! (Sprinkle Kindle with tears. Multiple times.)
It is so hard to talk about this one without spoiling anything, so I'm going to keep it short. There are so many unexpected elements to this one. There was one small part about Clara's brother that I was annoyed about and thinking, "Oh, that's so predictable" and it was but then...it wasn't (completely). And that made me love the book that much more because even though this isn't some mystery thriller, there are still all these twists and turns and curveballs being thrown at me that I really appreciate.
There is one excerpt that really struck me:
The field where Samjeeza stands is full of sunshine, but he can't absorb its warmth. He can't smell the new grass at his feet, the fresh rain from this morning's spring shower. He can't feel the breeze. All of that is beauty, and it belongs to the light. Not to him.
Wowza. It was that moment that I really understood the Black Wings. It is hard to picture characters that I haven't seen - in life or in movies - but this really sealed it for me. This really explained this sorrow that Clara goes on and on about (I mean that in the most loving way possible).
I can't wait to start the third book. I'm also a bit afraid to start it because I don't want this to end. Why are the best series so short? :(
