Jake Thorn is back, and manages to trick the angelic Bethany into getting on his motorcycle, where she’s unknowingly in for a one-way trip to Hell-or in this book’s case, Hades. Likewise, HADES is as dark and corruptive as its red, bad-ass cover. HALO was as sweet and light as its yellow and white cover.

For another thing, earlier this year, I fell in love with UNEARTHLY by Cynthia Hand to the extent where I’m willing to give angel books a second chance. For one thing, one of the issues I had the first time around was the lack of all this. When the publisher mentioned that the second book in the trilogy, HADES, was darker, edgier, and grittier, I decided to give it a chance. Last year, I reviewed HALO by Alexandra Adornetto, which was full of beautiful visuals, but lacking in real punch. The story that Alexandra Adornetto built in her 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. But what he asks of her will destroy her, and quite possibly, her loved ones, as well.' There, the demon Jake Thorn bargains for Beth’s release back to Earth. 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.

Falling in love was never part of her mission, but the bond between Beth and her mortal boyfriend, Xavier Woods, is undeniably strong.

Her passions include old-school country music, theology, singing and performing.Bethany Church is an angel sent to Earth to keep dark forces at bay. Now, she lives in Hollywood, where she hopes to combine novel writing and acting as Alexandra Grace. Relocate to Oxford, Mississippi, she divided her time between the USA and Australia, while she studied and writed. The Halo series is her first YA fantasy romances and marks her international debut. At 14, she sold it to HarperCollinsPublishers, that also bought the two next novels of The Strangest Adventures series. She began writing a Children's novel when she was only 13, inspired by J.M. In 2006, she won the State Legacy Public Speaking competition. She has loved stories for as long as she can remember. She is the only child of an English Teacher and a Drama Teacher and attended, in her own words, 'many' schools including MacRobertson Girls' High School, Ruyton Girls' School and Eltham College.

Alexandra Emily Adornetto was born on 18 April 1992 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
