Have you ever loved a book so thoroughly that when you finished it you didnt know what to read next? Because nothing else you would pick up could compare to the magic of this particular book. Thats how I felt when I turned the last page of Unearthly.
Im the type of reader that when I sit down to read a romance (paranormal or otherwise), I want to know what couple Im rooting for. Given the summary, I was settled in to loving Christian. I went into this story, swooning when he saved Clara in the hallway her first day, and wanting to love him.
And then, I didnt. His little quirks started to annoy me, the way he so easily dismissed Clara irked me, and I found myself starting to doubt the glowing reviews other bloggers had given this book. Then I fell for Tucker, possibly harder than our heroine. And while I wont give away what happens next, I can honestly say that few paranormal romances have ever moved me the way this one did. I was thinking of it long after I set it back on my shelf, and even now my mind drifts back to it. I have an inkling that I will forever be comparing any other romantic pairing in books to the love created by Cynthia Hand in this book.
In the midst of so many other angel stories, Hand has set her series apart. She doesnt make the reader wait for a hundred pages for the heroine to discover her destiny. Everything is very upfront and easy to guess. She has blended reality with dream, fact with fiction so aptly that its hard to tell the difference. All I know is that this book is magical and everything its hyped up to be.
