When Clara turned fourteen her mother told her that she was
special. The angel blood that runs through her makes her smarter, stronger and
faster than humans. She is on this earth to fulfil a purpose and that she will
have to follow her destiny.
Clara is now sixteen and has a dream that comes to her any
time, day or night, sleeping or awake - a dream of a forest fire and a boy.
This boy and the fire are Clara’s purpose. But what does she have to do? Does
she have to save the boy from the fire?
Clara’s purpose leads her and her family to Wyoming
The purpose, Clara soon realises, is only a small part of
being an angel, or part-angel and she finds there are good and bad angels and
that she has a bigger fight on her hand.
Then she meets Tucker. A boy who tugs at her heart. When the
time comes and the forest fire starts Clara realises that both Christian and
Tucker are in danger. Who does she choose? And will her decision change the
purpose she is destined for?
Unearthly is the
first book in a trilogy. It is a captivating story that dragged me along and
had me reading it within 24 hours. Now to find out what happens in Hallowed due out in early 2012.
