All About It:
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?

What I Thought:
I have been eagerly awaiting this book since it was listed on Amazon without a cover. So when I opened a package one day to find an ARC of Unearthly sitting there in all it's glory, you can imagine my shock and excitement. It is always terrible to read a book and be let down. Let me just assure you. This book is NOT one that will do that. I found the characters absolutely fantastic. The mystery wasn't one of the average types in these books. You quickly find out Clara know exactly what she is. The mystery comes not from her search to figure out WHAT she is but to figure out what her purpose is. The "Purpose" is what she was put on this earth to do. Throughout the book her dreams reveal more and more about what is soon to fall upon her. She follows the clues to new home in a new town. Clara's purpose is about a boy. A strong, handsome boy, that until she starts her first day in school, she has never seen before. Christian is the boy. But the problem is he's already taken. Regardless, Clara soon falls for him. Christian isn't the only one Clara falls for though. There is also Tucker, the annoying, infuriating brother of her best friend. Tucker has this way about him that I found myself quickly falling in love with. The battle between the two boys will soon become the next Edward vs. Jacob. I cannot express how phenomenal this story was. With all the Angel books coming out as of recently, Unearthly by Cynthia Hand was quite a breath of fresh air. I wish I could reveal more but if I do I fear I may ruin all of the surprises waiting for you at every turn of the book. The last thing I will say though is...the events of the last few chapters...Well that's the only BAD thing about receiving an ARC...you have to be tortured with the wait longer. Unearthly's sequel is eagerly awaited by this blogger!
