Stay to the Lights

Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand



Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.

Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.

As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to make—between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?

Unearthly is a moving tale of love and fate, and the struggle between following the rules and following your heart.



For months part-angel Clara Gardner trained to face the raging forest fire from her visions and rescue the alluring and mysterious Christian Prescott from the blaze. But nothing could prepare her for the fateful decisions she would be forced to make that day, or the startling revelation that her purpose—the task she was put on earth to accomplish—is not as straightforward as she thought. Now, torn between her increasingly complicated feelings for Christian and her love for her boyfriend, Tucker, Clara struggles to make sense of what she was supposed to do the day of the fire. And, as she is drawn further into the world of part angels and the growing conflict between White Wings and Black Wings, Clara learns of the terrifying new reality that she must face: Someone close to her will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows for sure is that the fire was just the beginning.

Awww has anyone else read the first book?

Stay to the Lights

Yeah. I wish more people would read it. It's really awesome and I love the originality of the genre, Cynthia is telling.

K'Vruck

Just you and me in a book thread? Feels like deja vu to me.

Stay to the Lights

Feels like what we do everyday.

K'Vruck

I'm just gonna pretend we ship the same couple. I can't process the thought we are shipping different.

Stay to the Lights

Well, maybe you'll change your mind by the end.

If not.. Oh well. Can't agree on everything.

Andie

Stay to the Lights

Hm.. I think so. Have you read any Angel books?

Andie

Not a whole lot to be honest... I read Hush, Hush and Fallen if those count.

Stay to the Lights

Okay.. Unearthly is one of the better angel series I have read. It's even being developed into a TV series by the CW.
