Halo by Alexandra Adornetto

     First of all the cover of this book is Gorgeous and very unlike me I judged it because of it's cover. I really wanted to like this book but I just couldn't get into it. Aside from the pretty cover there wasn't anything interesting about this. I feel like it could have been cut in half and it would have still made perfect sense, because that is how much useless irrelevant  crap was in it. I ended up skipping around a lot, desperately wanting to finish it so I could read something good.  It follows a young female angel named, Bethany. She along with her older brother, Gabriel, and older sister, Ivy, have come to a Earth to stop dark forces from messing with it. They are trying to bring people closer to their faiths like in Bible times.
    Bethany was thrown into the life of an average teenage girl so naturally she falls for the first pretty boy she finds, Xavier. Of course she gets in trouble for breaking the rules by telling him she is an angel and that her brother and sister are also angels. But like any "good" book nothing happens and the two lovebirds can stay together.
    This new guy, Jake, comes along and it is so obvious to me that he is the "evil force" they went to stop in the first place from the moment he was introduced. It took her far too long to figure it out! He tries to mess her relationship with Xavier up but fails.
    Beth being the stupid "heroin" that she pretends to be ends up almost getting herself killed to save her boy toy. Long story short, good prevails over evil.
    This book could have been so much better!
