Unearthly is one of the most gripping books I’ve read in awhile. Which is actually kind of funny because in some places one might say it’s a pretty slow-paced book. But the overall purpose and getting there was really intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put the book down.
But I’ll be honest, my love for the book isn’t entirely innocent. Part of it has to do with a certain boy named Tucker. If you haven’t met Tucker, you’re in for a treat. You’ll probably hate him at first, but trust me, this cowboy will grow on you.
While we’re on the subject of guys though I wasn’t a huge fan of Christian. He wasn’t a bad guy, but at times he frustrated me and I just wasn’t feeling him for Clara.
Sometimes angel stories can be hit or miss, but for me this was right on. My favorite moments were the times when Tucker was on the page though. There were so many times when I just wanted Clara to give up on the stupid destiny thing and run away with Tucker. lol But how the book played out was interesting and while not entirely a cliffhanger, it definitely left me craving more!
As for the setting. Wyoming. Who would’ve thought, but after reading this book and all the visuals, I seriously want to move there. I haven’t even been there and I want to blindly move there. It goes to show you though how vivid of a picture Cynthia Hand was able to paint. She did a great job at setting the scene, I felt like I was right there most of the time.
Overall, this is a great book. If you’re into young adult urban fantasy, but are not really a fan of angel books, I would give this one a shot. It might change your thoughts on them. I will say I’m not looking forward to the more prominent love triangle we’ll most likely get in the next book because I lovers my Tucker. But I’m still anxious to see what happens next!
