After going against her Purpose in [[Unearthlyby Cynthia Hand|Unearthly]], part-angel Clara is at something of a loose end. What are you supposed to do when you've gone against your one calling in life? A new vision gives Clara some clue, but it's not a direction she wants to take. Someone she cares about is going to die, and she only has a few months to work out who and to stop it. With her mother continuing to be cagey about her life before Clara, her brother growing a real attitude problem, and a Black Wing seemingly stalking her, Clara fears she has too many things on her plate to save a loved one from their imminent death.
And to make matters worse, she still feels a deep connection to Christian, which isn't what you want when embarking on a relationship with someone else...
Poor Tucker isn't given much to do either, and the whole book feels a little like preparation to phase him out. Which is a shame, as he was one of my favourite characters, and I hope I'm wrong, but I was able to predict most of the plot twists in this one, so I'm not too hopeful.
Overall, an okay read that sustained my interest enough to see me through to the next instalment, but the ''Hallowed '' doesn't break this series out of the 4 star band yet.
My thanks to the publisher for sending a copy.
