Unearthly (Unearthly #1) by Cynthia Hand - Restarting November 24th 2017

[Eunice]

I'll be joining in.

[Katrina G]

Chapter 1
(view spoiler)[ Okay, so this was different than I thought. I thought we were going to read about her finding out she was an angel with purpose. But she already knows she's an angel. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 3
(view spoiler)[ Reading a book about angels, and the main guy's (at least I think he's going to be the main guy) name is Christian. I like the name just fine, but it's a bit eye roll worthy in this case lol (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ It would make sense that there are good angels and bad angels. It adds a little more to the story than just the teenage angsty stuff that's sort of been going on. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[ I feel like Wendy's attitude kind of came out of nowhere (hide spoiler)]

[Eunice]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ Great so far. Rolled my eyes at Christian's name, though I guess it does seem appropriate in a way. I wonder about Clara and Kay's relationship and also with Angela. I have this feeling that she's an angel too. And I'm glad it's not the typical "get paired up with love interest.". (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

Agree!

[~T~]

Through ch 10 (view spoiler)[ Besides being a bit juvenile, I like it okay so far. I'm curious to see if Angela is good or bad since Clara's mom warned her about fellow angels and Angela in particular. Another eye roll, ANGELa. And then there is Tucker. Very interested in him, I think I may like him more than Christian at this point.. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Tasheana wrote: "Through ch 10 [spoilers removed]"

I agree. I'm enjoying the interactions with Tucker much more than with Christian

[Katrina G]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ I feel like that was a jerk thing for Christian to do. At this point, I'm really rooting for Clara and Tucker. Just because her purpose involves Christian doesn't mean she has to be together with him (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[ They kissed! I was so excited, but then her glory came out and now Tucker wants nothing to do with Clara and now I'm sad. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[ I'm so sad that Tucker broke up with Clara! I really want them to be together. Also, for some reason, I really don't trust Angela (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

End
(view spoiler)[ WHAT JUST HAPPENED? I need the next book right now (hide spoiler)]

[Eunice]

Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[That was quite rude of Christian to leave her like that in the prom. Even if it was Clara who asked him for the date, it's still not proper. At this point, I'm starting to ship Clara and Tucker. Go them! I don't care that Christian's supposed to be her purpose because as far I understand, her purpose does not relate to boyfriend. (hide spoiler)]

[Eunice]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[Tucker! Why you do this? I'm so excited that they kissed. ('Cause I've been rooting for them to get together and they did!) But then her glory just had to come out that moment, and made him run away. I don't know if I should feel happy that she has obtained her glory, or sad because of Tucker and Clara. (hide spoiler)]

[Eunice]

End (view spoiler)[I'm like, what?! Christian's an angel too? Explains the name though. I noticed that those characters who have angelic names are all angels. Clara, Angela, Christian. Didn't expect Sam's history with Maggie though.

I want to know more. I want to know who Clara ends up with. And what's gonna happen to her? Agh, I'm reading the next book as soon as I can. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Me too! But I have hope that it's just a small hiccup.. he'll come around.. (hide spoiler)]

[~T~]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Joining!

[Rebecca]

I'm joining this one, it's on my bookshelf :)

[Rebecca]

I'm starting this one tonight :) OK so perhaps my first update won't be until tomorrow

[Gillian]

1/4 (view spoiler)[ I'm not convinced Christian is for Clara he seems nice and all but he has a girlfriend. There is bound to be more to this vision than what we know so far. (hide spoiler)]

[Gillian]

2/4 (view spoiler)[ I'm really glad Clara has made some new friends I felt so sorry for her when she first started at the new school. Is hand that one of them is an Angel also. While her brother is using his powers to be a show off and gain instant friends which really annoys me. (hide spoiler)]

[Gillian]

3/4 (view spoiler)[ I love Tucker he is so much fun. Wendy was so smart when she gave a day with Tucker to Clara for her birthday that was awesome. (hide spoiler)]

[Gillian]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ This was a cute little story not a great deal happened in it but I liked that Clara was not the coolest kid in school and made real friends. The romance side was sweet and not overly mushy I hope the author can keep it that way for the rest of the series. What I didn't like was that Clara's mother kept so much information back and I feel she is still doing that. (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

Up to but not including Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ So the main character is an angel who with the help of her mother uproots her family and moves them somewhere new so that she can fulfil her purpose. Which is apparently to help a boy whose girlfriend is a bitch. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Uhhh I'll be starting soon. As soon as I finish my current read.

[Gillian]

Rebecca wrote: "Up to but not including Chapter 5 [spoilers removed]"

Hahaha that sums it up nicely

[Rebecca]

Up to but not including Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ So far this is a very juivinille and a bit silly really. I agree with Gillian that there must be a bigger picture than Clara getting with Christian because that is just so short sighted and will be really really unfulfilling if that's all I get in the end. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

Up to but not including Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ It's good that she's making some friends of her own but she seems to be making some enemies too. I'm still not sure what the purpose of the black winged threat is but I'm hoping it's going to play a more significant role in the ending as otherwise this book may fall flat. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

UP to but not including Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ Tucker is really throwing a spanner into the works by being there. Maybe Clara will cock up on her duty, her brother seems to be being awful about it too.

I'm kind of excited to see how it ends now, although there's only 3 or four chapters left so I think rushed may be the answer (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

FINISHED POSTING MY REVIEW SHORTLY

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ I love the whole part about Christian being important in some way and that Clara's meant to protect him. It reminds me of my favorite tv show charmed about white lighters and how they protect witches and future white lighters to be able to do good in the world. This reminds me of that (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Wow that whole chapter was an info dump but it's okay. It was entertaining and I knew there was something about Angela! I'm curious about what their wings will mean now and what Clara's mother knows. I mean if you've lived for 116 years then you're bound to know a lot. (hide spoiler)]

The Charmed reference is a really good example :)

I thought no one was gonna get that! That post was mostly for my benefit. I just had to point that out lol.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Well of course. If there's a love triangle, the main character must compare the two which sums up this chapter. Although if it's gonna be like that, I'm team Tucker all the way unless he does something really stupid like Christian on prom night *cough cough*. I'm curious about Jeffrey. I wonder if he actually got his purpose already but hasn't said a word. (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ Ehh it was okay...I'm probably giving it 2.5 stars. I was expecting so much from the ending and what the thing really was with Christian. So he's an angel too...So what? So is Angela. The summary promised a darker side to her purpose. Much of the book was just learning more about the angel world. I wanted there to be so much more dark things with her purpose but all we learn is that Christian is an angel too. Okay...? (hide spoiler)]

[Gillian]

Nicole wrote: "Finished: [spoilers removed]"

Yeh I was generous and gave it 3 stars but 2.5 is about what it deserved.
