This review is also posted on my blog, Anatea's Bookshelf. 
 If you think Unearthly was one of the best books you've ever read, you're clearly wrong. Hallowed is even better. It just amazes me how an angel themed book can be so good. 
 I've read this book in one sit. I just couldn't put it away. I even read it until almost 8 am. That's how good this book is. 
 I love Cynthia Hand's writing. It is never boring. And I love that she actually researched the theme before she jumped in on writing about it. The whole plot is well thought, and it just keeps you interested. 
 Unlike Unearthly, this book is not that much based on romance and it's not very fun. Actually, it is very sad, because Clara knows that someone close to her will die. But the question is who? 
 There were so many twists and surprises in this book that I wasn't even able to keep track of them all. I was trying to predict or guess some things, but I was never even close to the truth. 
 (view spoiler)[At one moment I even thought that Samjeeza could maybe be Clara's father because she was too powerful to be just a Quartarious, but as it turned out, he wasn't, but her father was an angel. (hide spoiler)] 
 And please remind me why I said that I actually don't mind the love triangle in Unearthly? Because I do now. xD In Unearthly, I was so in love with Tucker, and I liked Christian but not as much as Tucker. And now after reading Hallowed, I'm just so torn between the two. I like them both. And that's why I hate love-triangles. The first book comes out and makes you love one character, and then comes the second book out and ruins everything. 
 I can't wait for the next book, Boundless, to come out, so I can read it.
