And I think in life, that is a very real question that we all ask ourselves about our relationships. While I read these books I kept wondering who is the better choice for Clara, not just who is the best guy. There is no broody bad boy or insta-love in this series, and the love story develops slowly.

Yes, this series contains a love triangle, but it is one that I actually like. Part of that is the two guys that enter Clara's life - the one from her visions and the other one who is not part of The Plan. I actually found the way this question is approached in this series to be very relatable. destiny (predestination) debate that carries through the series. They feature some large life themes, including a very interesting free will vs.

Can she follow her purpose blindly? What if her heart takes her in another direction? As she works to discover her purpose, she also questions how much freedom she has to choose. But nothing is ever as easy - or clear - as it seems. What she sees leads her to move with her family, which consists of her mom and brother (also part angels), from California to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Although she's not told exactly what he purpose is, she gets glimpses of it from a reoccurring vision.

Although I'm going to talk very generally about the series, I've included the book description from Unearthly above.Ĭlara Gardner is part angel and every angel blood is born with a purpose on earth that they must fulfill. In light of that, I'm going to try to tell you why I love these books so much - without giving anything away about them. However, every time I go back to edit what I've written, I realize that what I really want to say about these books is a spoiler, and I'd rather discuss them than write individual reviews. I keep wanting to transfer my Goodreads reviews of Unearthly and its sequel Hallowed by Cynthia Hand to my blog.
