Heaven help her.
Bethany Church is an angel sent to Earth to keep dark forces at bay. Falling in love was never part of her mission, but the bond between Beth and her mortal boyfriend, Xavier Woods, is undeniably strong. But even Xavier's love, and the care of her archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, can't keep Beth from being tricked into a motorcycle ride that ends up in Hell. There, the demon Jake Thorn bargains for Beth's release back to Earth. But what he asks of her will destroy her, and quite possibly, her loved ones, as well.
The story that Alexandra Adornetto built in her New York Times–bestselling debut, Halo, comes alive in action-packed and unexpected ways, as angels battle demons, and the power of love is put to the test.
Praise for Halo
"[Adornetto's] dialogue feels fresh and real, pulled from the mouths of her peers." —The New York Times Book Review
"These angels are the optimistic, hope-filled cousins of the tormented fallen angels in other paranormal romances." —Justine magazine
"A compelling novel of good and evil that will find an audience among girls who can't get enough of otherworldly characters and situations, and heart-wrenching romance." —School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up-In this sequel to Halo (Feiwel & Friends, 2010), angel Bethany, posing as an 18-year-old teenager, is tricked into getting onto a motorcycle driven by Jake, a demon in the guise of a hunky guy, and taken to Hell. Jake's out for revenge after Bethany rejected him in favor of her true love, Xavier, the almost-too-good-to-be-true human boy from the first book. Jake installs her in a swanky hotel in Hell as he waits for her to surrender herself to him. She finds a way to "project" herself so she can see Xavier and her archangel siblings Gabriel and Ivy as they try to find a portal into Hell to rescue her. She, Gabriel, and Ivy were sent to Earth to try to prevent the coming Armageddon between the angels and demons and her kidnapping hastens the likelihood of this occurring. Fans of Twilight will enjoy the chaste romantic love triangle, but other readers might find it a bit slow going, with its simplistic plotting and one-dimensional characters. The demons describe Bethany as being tough and feisty but she spends most of the time moping around and her passivity becomes increasingly irritating-until she finally acts to try to stop Jake from killing Xavier. Will Gabriel, Ivy, and Xavier find a way into Hell? Are Bethany and Xavier destined to find happiness together? The open ending leaves readers hanging as the story continues in the next book in this projected trilogy.-Sharon Rawlins, New Jersey State Library, Trenton

Bethany (Halo), an angel living on Earth, is kidnapped and taken to Hell by an old enemy, a demon known as Jake. As her angelic "siblings" and human boyfriend Xavier search for Bethany, she keeps tabs on their progress through astral projection. Sarcastic Jake provides some relief from Bethany's wearisome goodness and naiveti; the depiction of Hell is imaginative, though not fully realized.(Copyright 2012 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
