Lullaby (Watersong #2)

Lullaby is a book by Amanda Hocking and is the second book in the series, Watersong. In this book, Gemma has already become a siren, which basically means she has to rip boys' hearts out to live.
Not the most ideal living conditions, right?

Harper, Gemma's caring sister, knows that Gemma isn't human anymore, but she'll still do anything to return Gemma safely home. However, Gemma worries that Harper won't love her anymore if she finds out what her sister has turned into: something much worse than Harper's ideas.

On the way to rescue Gemma, Harper becomes closer to Daniel, a handsome sailor that may or may not love her. She has to deal with whether or not love can be incorporated into her rescue plan, and if not, then she'll have to say good-bye to him. Sadly.

I really enjoyed this book because it showed how a family will go to almost any resort to save one another. I give it 4 stars because I would have liked to see Thea's POV, as well. Thea had once been in Gemma's predicament and I wondered what Thea may have been thinking as she saw Gemma go through the same transition. Also, I feel like Gemma's emotions after doing a terrible act (can't say: spoiler alert) weren't portrayed very well.

Heaven (Halo #3)

Heaven is a book by Alexandra Adornetto and is the third in the series, Halo. Bethany, an angel, and Xavier, a human, are engaged and married in the same day. In the hour following their sudden marriage, a priest is killed and Xavier, Bethany, Ivy, and Gabriel are on the run. They're being pursued by the Sevens, who were originally designed to keep the balance between Earth and Heaven. Unfortunately  they have become rowdy and slightly uncontrollable, and next on their sight is Xavier and Bethany Woods.


The couple had said "until death do us part"...but will it really come true so fast?

Heaven is a great book. There are several unexpected twists: two dead people, who mean so much to Bethany for opposite reasons, visit Bethany. She inspires me because she doesn't want Xavier to become dead like them so much that she will give one of the most ultimate sacrifices .. Bethany stood up for herself and is an ideal character.

5 Stars. Heaven is a great finale to this series.

Hades (Halo #2)

Hades is a book by Alexandra Adornetto and is the second in the series, Halo. In this book, the angel Bethany Church has been captured by Jake Thorn and is taken into Hades. Yes, Jake, who was supposedly killed in the first book, Halo. During one night of stupidity that could have been stopped by herself, Bethany is taken into captivity by Jake. There are two major problems that Bethany is going through in Hades: how will she protect her friends and family if she is stuck in Hades, especially as Jake begins to take a [bad] interest in them? Also, how will she escape?

This is a great book to read. You need to have read the first book, Halo, to understand everything that is going on, though. I really admired Bethany's determination to escape Hades and save those outside of her reach, somehow. I think this is appropriate for anyone 12 and older, and who doesn't mind vivid detail and unpleasant environments. I know that I certainly enjoyed it!

5 Stars. I absolutely loved the book!
