Shattering Halos (Halos #1) by Sunniva Dee

*Ebook provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*

It’s been a while since I last read a good Paranormal Romance novel, and not for lack of trying. Sunniva Dee’s Shattering Halos reminded me how awesome this genre can be. I was gushing about it right after I read it but after some much-needed stewing, I couldn't ignore the major hang-ups I had while reading the book. I liked the fact that it’s got the whole NA thing going on but this series has its work cut out for it if it wants to make it into the big leagues of PNR. Given that assessment, I still think Shattering Halos is a book worth reading (and Halos a series worth following)

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Sunshine Stars

Synopsis:
I traded my death for love. I wasn’t given a choice. His decision has caught up with us, so now I am a living, breathing catalyst to war between Heaven and Hell.

The violations he committed saved my life. Since the collision, he’s appeared everywhere. In my hospital room, my school, even my house. He shows up in my paintings, my drawings, in all of my art projects. I can’t stop thinking about him.

He says his name is Gabriel, and he doesn’t understand what’s happening to him. He doesn’t know how I can see him or why he wants me in ways that should be impossible for a Celestial.

My obsession grows. I need him to hold me, kiss me—give all of himself. For every day he protects me, the consequences loom darker and taller. Soon, they’ll crash down on us.

The war is about to begin.

City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments #6) by Cassandra Clare

First of all, thank you to Cassandra Clare for bringing the world of Shadowhunters to life. The bookworm in me would not be the same without this series and she just continues to fuel my love for this world she created.

My heart is full to bursting. I can’t even begin to explain how I’m feeling right now. Of course, reading the last book in a series you’ve followed and loved for a long while brings with it a certain degree of longing. I really have trouble believing that this is the end of the road for these amazing characters that I’ve grown to love so much. There’s still The Dark Artifices but it won’t be the same. I’m sure there’ll be a new set of characters we’ll learn to know and love but this gang? They will hold a special place in my bookworm heart.

A bittersweet 5 out of 5 stars.

Synopsis:
ΕRCHOMAI, SEBASTIAN HAD SAID. 

I am coming.

Darkness returns to the Shadowhunter world. As their society falls apart around them, Clary, Jace, Simon and their friends must band together to fight the greatest evil the Nephilim have ever faced: Clary’s own brother. Nothing in the world can defeat him — must they journey to another world to find the chance?
