Clara just recently found out that she is an angel...well, one-fouth angel, that is. Her mom is one-half angel, and her dad is a normal human. When she starts having visions, her mom tells her that she is coming upon the time when she will find out her purpose.
Her vision is the same thing over and over again, a little more involved each time. When she realizes it's happening in the mountains, her mom figures out where it is and moves the family. The first day in her new high school, Clara sees the boy in her vision. Christian is the resident king of the school and the boy whom every girl has a crush on, and he's dating the typical evil, popular girl.
But Clara knows that she has to find out more about Christian so she can prepare for her purpose. Meanwhile, she befriends Wendy, Wendy's twin, Tucker, and Angela. While Tucker gets on her nerves, she soon finds herself spending more and more time with him. Will her new friends make her lose her focus on her purpose?
I love a good character-driven story, and UNEARTHLY was definitely that. The main character, Clara, was just great! She was pretty but down-to-earth. She was true to herself when it came to friends. She wasn't rebellious, yet she wasn't perfect, either. And she was witty. I loved her comeback lines against Tucker. And speaking of Tucker - yeah, a perfect male character. He is the ultimate guy. Gentlemanly, funny, sarcastic, romantic, and has Clara's best interests at heart.
The plot of the story was interesting. For a while, I thought I knew what Clara's purpose was when it came to Christian, but I was very wrong. The only critique I have of this book is that I didn't like the ending. I think maybe it's a cliffhanger and that there will be a second book. At least I hope so, because I ended up having a lot more questions. We don't really get to find out what Clara's purpose is, which was kind of the whole point of the story. I think there is a way to wrap up a story but still have a cliffhanger, but I don't feel like this book really wrapped up anything.
But I do have to say, I really got into UNEARTHLY, and it left me wanting more!
