Unfortunately Clara has developed a rather enormous crush on Christian and doesn’t seem to be able to help herself from staring longingly at him (you’re sort of blushing on her behalf!) Christian is good looking, in fact really good looking, clever, witty, etc, etc, – he is also the boyfriend of the school mean girl, Kay who appears to take an instant dislike to Clara. Clara’s purpose is to rescue a boy from her school, one of the popular guys, called Christian. She struggles to fit in at school – and I don’t suppose having bright orange hair exactly helps – she comes across as shy and frankly sometimes she’s just down right embarrassing in the way she stares at people. She’s part angel and as such is faster, stronger, etc, she can talk any language – including ‘bear’ – and can pretty much pick up any sort of sport with ease and grace, but, in spite of this she isn’t perfect and this imperfection makes her so likable. I just loved the way this was written so I’m now definitely a Cynthia Hand fan! I thought the story was really good, I loved the idea of the angels having a purpose and single mindedly pursuing it. I don’t want to give too much away about the plot so I’ll just rave about the book instead. All angels have a purpose which is revealed to them through dreams or visions and when Clara’s vision begins to manifest itself the family pack up and leave California and set up home in Wyoming. Clara and her brother have angel blood – a quarter part – there mother is half blood. Told by Clara this is a novel about angels.
Just finished reading Unearthly by Cynthia Hand which was totally captivating, original and romantic.
