***SPOILER ALERT!!!*** 
 Bethany is an angel. She, along with two other angels, was sent by Heaven to improve life in Venus Cove. Gabriel and Ivy immediately set to work and get involved in the communities. Bethany goes to high school, presumably to help others. Except she doesn't. She falls in love, which was not part of the mission. 
 It's her first time on earth, feeling overwhelmed that her brother and sister has such powers and she doesn't. Not counting the part where she has Wings. 
 Dark forces are gathering. Terrorist attacks, murders, strife, poverty. Just look at the news and you can see them everywhere. It's up to these three to bring the peace and happiness to Venus Cove. 
 Halo is a lovely book. A little predictable but a tiny little bit thrilling. You'll love Bethany and Xavier, especially Xavier. (Wink!)
