Wishlist Wednesday: Hallowed


Hallowed by Cynthia Hand
Paranormal, 320 pages
Expected publication: January 24th 2012 by HarperCollins 

For months part-angel Clara Gardner trained to face the raging forest fire from her visions and rescue the alluring and mysterious Christian Prescott from the blaze. But nothing could prepare her for the fateful decisions she would be forced to make that day, or the startling revelation that her purpose—the task she was put on earth to accomplish—is not as straightforward as she thought. Now, torn between her increasingly complicated feelings for Christian and her love for her boyfriend, Tucker, Clara struggles to make sense of what she was supposed to do the day of the fire. And, as she is drawn further into the world of part angels and the growing conflict between White Wings and Black Wings, Clara learns of the terrifying new reality that she must face: Someone close to her will die in a matter of months. With her future uncertain, the only thing Clara knows for sure is that the fire was just the beginning.

Unearthly was one of my surprise hits this year.  I hadn't read an angel book that really did it for me, and though I still want to see someone do the dark angel slant well, I was really pleasantly surprised by this.  I mean, it wasn't without faults, but I enjoyed it and was happy to find that Hand can write (bonus!).  So looking forward to this one for sure.  The cover is a bit washed out for me, but then, so was Unearthly until I saw it in person, so who knows?
Any of you excited for this one?
