A couple of weeks ago, I had the awesome opportunity to meet Alexandra Adornetto, the seventeen year old author of the intriguing novel,
HALO. Just look at that cover. It's awesome isn't it? This book puts a fresh spin on the angel trend in YA by making the girl an angel. She falls in love and it literally brings the
hell out of some people!
HALO was one of my favorite books of the summer. I couldn't put it down and when I simply
had to, I couldn't wait to dig into again. The author was gracious enough to do an interview and you can
check that out here and learn how she was inspired to write her delicious story. I'm also giving away the hard copy edition of the novel that the publisher was gracious enough to send me. It's the first book of a trilogy and I can't wait for the next installment.
Hades is due to be released in the fall of 2011. Hope you'll drop by!
Toodles!

That cover is FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Yes, the cover is spectacular. The concept of the story is also. What a future Alexandra has. Thanks for sharing this, June. Another to add to my reading list.
Mark my words, it's an amazing book!! It is written magnificently, and I envy Alexandra so much!! At such young age and already a published author. Definitely a MUST read. :)
If the cover is anything to go by the book is a must read. Looks and sounds like a great story. Wow, seventeen! Well done Alexandra.
I've heard of this book but haven't had a chance to read -- sounds fabulous! And I have to agree, that is an absolutely amazing cover!
That cover is breathtaking! Great review. How cool that you got to meet the author!
Iv'e been dying to get my hands on this book, it looks so fabulous. Please, please i would love your copy, and in hardcover! that would make my life :)
To be so young and talented, she has an incredible career ahead of her. And that cover is STUNNING!
Not sure when the contest ends, but had to try...
What a recommendation! I could barely make it through getting all my papers done at the age. Can't imagine writing a book! Wow.
And part of a trilogy?? so impressive!
