He can do whatever the hell pun intended he wants. Then he told her Xavier was hurt, and needed her help. What else was she supposed to do? I think this book Ok, this book was wayyy better than Halo. I think this book actually lived up to its incredible cover. Just give it a shot, okay? View all 5 comments.

So the English translated books are not sufficient in most bookstores. Anyways, I went to one in Koon Tong today and I went to the world literature section, where the Chinese translations usually were, and I saw this.

Isn't it terrifying that these two books were written at all? Why would anyone write a translation? Man, we had enough horrible books written in Chinese as it is, we don't need books like "Satan's Hostage" and "Blood War" adding to the list, thank you very much.

Hades is better than Halo. I honestly feel sad about Jake, he wanted to be loved and he chose the wrong person. I'm glad the way things ended : Hades is better than Halo. I'm glad the way things ended Jul 08, Melissa rated it did not like it Shelves: don-t-read. What do I write about this book? Being a religious person it was so hard to read about a heaven and a hell that are so completely not what I believe.

I am so glad that this world does not exist and is only trapped in this story. The violence in this book and the references to sex and a couple of almost rape scene had my reeling. In one breath you are reading about God and his goodness and the next about a demon orgee!!!

The love story is soooo sappy and over the top,but it does fit in wi Arrggh! The love story is soooo sappy and over the top,but it does fit in with the context of the characters and who they are. It just gets old reading about how she sees him all the time! We know the color of his hair and how it sparkles you've told us many times! The plot and idea behind the story is very interesting and it did move faster then the first book but the description of everything got so old.

I just didn't care what the country side looked like as the drove and drove This book is left open for a sequel but the story line in this book does wrap itself up and then there is a twist at the end but I am very done with this book, the series and the author. But hey on the bright side I love the cover of this and Halo. Sep 24, Nishtha rated it it was ok.

It was so bad that couldn't put it down. So predictable, I mean my little cousins would even figure out the ending. Apr 04, Linna marked it as curious-about Shelves: paranormal.

I feel kind of bad for lol'ing at the cover Dec 08, Elle! Disclaimer : Rant Rating Level. Off the freaking Charts. Cursing involved. I tried to keep it informative as well. Not working like he misspelled poster below. Yes I know it spelled wrong. Of course you and Xavier headed to the south lawn. You're freaking Gorilla Glued together. For the first time in any of her books you will get to see ethnic people……. This leads into my WTF Segment.

So WTF… [image error] Frustration. WTF is up with the Narration? Seething with purple prose. Excuse me? What teenager talks like that? Want to hear it again? Yes reading Halo, you will be subjected to reading narration like this. WTF is up the dialogue? Are you coming for dinner tonight? I'm sure an archangel has better things to do than I don't know make a delicious mexican dish I love like I don't know save the world.

Help starving children. That brings me to WTF is wrong with the setting? So god apparently sent angels to sit in mansions with Christians who are already "saved. WTF is up with the pacing? Three hundred pages into the novel, something…………Happens. Who edited this pile of car honks strategically covering up curse word. WTF is up with the plot? In the Bible, Christian views no matter what Adornetto claims Angels tempted by humans were banished from Heaven by God.

Their half blood children were evil and always were thought of such. WTF is up with the Protagonist? Bethany Church. Yes you. Reasons why you just love Bethany. Gosh darn that makes it even sweeter! We can add our own opinion. Bethany crashed face first off the back of a turnip truck and ended up with wings which makes her a charmster! Not to mention in her first installment Halo she drank alcohol and contemplated having sexual intercourse with a human but when told no by Gabs he earns a nickname she never pondered it again.

I just love Mary Sues, they give you a blank canvas to insert your own personality. Nothing happens to her by her choosing. She only nearly dies a hundred times and gets saved. Bethany has no powers what so ever. Mistakes, made it more raw. She gets tricked into getting on a motorcycle. Even Albert Einstein would have wept to have her brain replaced with his. That involves sheer brain power from the other party. I must be imagining things. WTF is up with the Protagonists? Asia is Asian. Ivy is still emotionless and boring.

Molly is still pining for Gabs attention. Xavier is still being perfect with his azure eyes and nutmeg hair.

This girl imposes hers on others. Bethany Church is Adornetto. Great parts of this novel should be burned and are pure preachy and nothing more. Sex without procreation is apparently blasphemy. You will hear plenty of this and Ardenetto can not disconnect herself from her novels. Her opinion is everywhere.

Trust me. Reading the first two books, I know what she thinks is sexy Gabriel , I know she likes men who cook Gabriel , naturally, she thinks people who express themselves through clothing style are evil too. Creativity is bad. Clearly she thinks so, it shows in her book. Plus she likes V-necks and dark wash jeans on men mentioned so in Halo 1. Recommends: 13 - Adult. I would love to beat Bethany with a sock full of frozen butter for her mental capacity alone. With that being said, I will definitely be reviewing the third Heaven of her spectacular series!

The positive? She's quite pretty. View all 8 comments. Potentially, at least. On the minus side, the author is officially out to set feminism back…to nonexistence. And then some. You win some, you lose some? Except in this case we don't win at all. What I find a miss was the characterbuilding of the bad guy. Scrap that , it was well done now in afterthought. Almost at the end I wondered why there is a part three of the series — except for trilogies being the norm nowadays — but that was well introduced in the epilogue.

Jan 21, Cheese marked it as to-read Shelves: i-think-i-vomited-in-my-mouth-a-lit. I can't believe I'm actually thinking about reading this. Maybe just for the lulz. The Halo review was ever so much fun. I want to know how the hell the first one made enough money for them to think that there should be a sequel. View 2 comments. Jul 15, K rated it did not like it. I don't know how else to explain my feelings about this book except with a story, so here goes.

One time, a friend of mine was walking down the street and spotted a cherry. Now she, being the retard that she is, decided that she would kick that cherry. So she ran up to it and i mean ran and kicked. Problem is, instead of hitting the cherry, she hit the asphalt, which propelled her forward face first in to the ground.

Now, me being the horrible friend that i am, laughed my ass off. Eventually s I don't know how else to explain my feelings about this book except with a story, so here goes. Eventually she got up she was fine and looked back at where the cherry was. And lo and behold, It was in the exact same spot.

I kid you not, it had not moved an inch, completely unaffected by my friend making a total ass out of herself. This was Hades for me. I was the cherry and it was my friend. It just completely missed the mark for me, and i mean completely. This about sums up my face after finishing it: So on to the actual review: You hear that? Yes, that. The cries of pain, the wails of agony, the pleas for help?

Well that, my friend, are my brain cells as they fry one by one. Why, you may ask? Oh well because of the [image error] that is Hades, well train wreck is more accurate. I don't even know where to start, so why not start with the name itself? As a huge fan of Greek mythology, this pisses me the fuck off.

Actually no, scratch that. I'm NOT fine. I'm as far from fine as you can get! Lets get to next point shall we? When i go to a bookstore to buy a book or even go online, I expect to read an interesting novel, something fun, something i can cherish. This book was basically preaching religion from start to end. Don't get me wrong, I do not hate Christians and Religion. I'm Muslim myself. But i do not deserve to have your religious beliefs crammed down my throat, nor does the Atheist next to me, or the Jew next to them!

This book basically took a huge dump on my religious beliefs and millions of others and then shoved it back in my face. That's immoral, we just had to endure pages of you teaching us religion.

I'm sorry but wasn't this a YA novel? And don't get me started on hell! Yet again, you have just pissed all over many religious beliefs.

And the sort of people there? Goths and anyone who wears black nail polish? Isn't that a tad bit stereotypical? For all you know they could have lost a parent and became depressed.

Because they wear black clothes they MUST be banished to hell. Where is the torture? Where is the eternal agony? And Lucifer!? I'm sorry but isn't he the single most evil being in the universe? And what does she portray him as? Go on, guess Well done Adornetto, you've made a joke of the devil himself.

Oh and the way they get to hell is just plain retarded. You don't just fucking get on a motorbike! I mean, waht was going through the Bethany's head? I'd be less surprised if it had gone like this: Jake Get In my van on the motorbike Bethany! Bethany No! Why should i go with you! Jake I've got candy brownies and chocolate! Bethany OOOO chocolate! Problem solved. Everyone is happy. But noooo. Oh and Bethany Stephanie Meyer, congratulations you are no longer the writer of the stupidest heroine of the century.

No, that award goes to Alexandra. A cardboard cut out would have done more good our dear and darling Bethany. God forbid she actually does anything angelic! Shame on you for even thinking that! If i met Bethany in real life i would probably high five her. With a metal chair. Made by Chuck Norris. She is an angel right?

Couldn't she, I don't know Or i don't know It would seem like the logical thing to do, but no. She has to wait for Xavier whats-his-face to save her. And her power? Take a wild guess at what it might be. No idea? Here let me help you That's right, no you did not misread it, Bethany's power is love.

Because the book wasn't bad enough. I have banged my head against the wall so many times during this novel that I might have gotten a concussion. Oh and speaking of Xavier, am i supposed to be attracted to this sexist, control freak shit? I get the allure, believe me i do. But there has to be a limit, no? And he just.. He couldn't have been more controlling if he had tied a leash around her neck and called her lassie.

And it happens in the first book too. See what i mean!? Their entire relationship is gfjskjbkngkjhkgd. This is the kind of crap that makes me wanna gag. Give her a little independence! The feminist inside of me died a little from reading this book. I could feel my IQ dropping. The entire love thing made me wanna do this: But that would've been awkward because i had an Kindle version. I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade.

I get that the author was only sixteen and everyone deserves their chance at success, kudos to her for getting it. But to me, this book was rubbish. Flaming garbage. It flabbergasts me that so many people like this, and that this is what we have come to love as 'Young Adults'.

I mean, like what you want, its your opinion. But this was just I don't even.. I can't You get the idea? I just lost all faith in humanity after this. Just so i don't end on a sour note, well done for trying Alexandra, who knows, maybe next time it'll be better?

Maybe they would assume I had respiration problems with the way I sighed so heavily my entire body shook and shuddered.

Or maybe that I was a straight up lunatic. Hands half curled into claws shaking intently at the empty air in front of me, face frozen in a silent 0 stars Anyone observing me as I read this rubbish would have assumed me to be epileptic or otherwise ill with the way my eyes were constantly rolling around while I allowed my head to fall and loll around my neck in pure exasperation.

Hands half curled into claws shaking intently at the empty air in front of me, face frozen in a silent scream, and then my entire body would begin flailing around wildly at the pure absurdity printed on the pages. This book is ridiculous. Absurdly ridiculous. Bethany , again, how could you, an angel, not know about the demon you were clutching to???

Are you seriously the most idiotic angel out there? Adornetto, how can you even feel alright about yourself writing that character??? I am mystified at how you sleep at night. Completely mystified. Then as if Heaven itself knew my anguish and took pity in my suffering Chapter 6 came along.

Ahhhh Chapter six. Bethany was in Hades and all of the stupid shit I could no longer sit through was gone and the story got good!! Page 76 brought back above's spasms but they were short lived. I have to say that I enjoyed the rest of the book up until she was rescued hence the 2 stars, nope took it away. I have to help the rating stay low. I'm not sorry. It's as if close proximity to Xavier makes her brains dumber than a cockeyed squirrel holding a plastic walnut I don't understand.

She was so strong before and then BAM! She wants to reach out to her captor so he could hold her hand as he perished Then she wants to be upset to find out that was his final trick. Just shoot me already. He lies. I would hand this brain cell serial murderer over to my worst enemy with promises that of they make it through the first hot steaming pile of manure they would be rewarded with a good book series.

I would be smiling viciously as they eagerly took the books from my hands all the while knowing the impending pain and suffering they are about to encounter. Take that enemy!! Sep 18, Chelsea rated it did not like it Shelves: 1-star. That quote is all you need to know the laughable stupidity of this series. The book is a treasure trove of quotes with ridiculous things like that. I would be lying if I said this is worse than book one.

This book does improve on the high school bore-fest disguised as an angel book that was Halo. This is mainly due to the change in setting. Giving it a two would be an insult to all the books on my two star shelf. The romance is still insufferable. Bethany is still the worst angel ever. She gets peer pressured and not even a lot of peer pressure into doing a seance with a ouija board. In my years as a reader, I have seen some weird depictions of Hell and the devil, and this gives all of them a run for their money.

Hell here is basically a bunch of clubs, casinos, and nice hotels. This series is truly a pinnacle reason as to why some some readers look down upon YA novels. May 22, Kym McNabney rated it it was amazing. My fourteen-year-old daughter read HALO, the first in the sequel, some months ago, and insisted that I read it as well.

I was pleasantly surprised with HALO. The writing was amazing, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the faith and evil aspect was presented without being preachy. I appreciated the lack of foul language and inappropriate behavior. I don't particularly care for a lot of detail, but I was in awe of Ms. Adornetto's unique description as well as her distinct characters and accurate portrayal of teens.

If the lack of stars wasn't deterrent enough, the reviews were. The poor reviews baffled me, because it was just as well written as HALO and for me, the story itself was intriguing and captivating. Angels weren't supposed to fall for human but that's exactly what happened when Bethany met Xavier Woods, the High School good guy. Jake Thorn, a demon, has other plans for Beth. Beth is forced to make a decision that could quite possible destroy her, and threaten Xavier's love for her.

As an aspiring writer I found myself wanting to reread these books to capture the author's unique play on words. And talk about a cliffhanger Nov 06, Chantel rated it it was amazing. I first read Halo and couldn't wait until Hades came out. When I first saw it in WHSmith, I knew i had to get it even though i'm currently banned from buying books. Turns out I was right, this book was absolutely amazing. In fact, I was very close to tears when it finished. I have to admit though, the beginning was quite hard to get in to, it got a little bit confusing.

However, throughout the book, it slowly managed to sort out my confusion. When I found out what happened to Bethany aand late I first read Halo and couldn't wait until Hades came out. When I found out what happened to Bethany aand later on in the book, what she agreed to do with jake, i was shocked. I kept on thinking, what about Xavier? Though, when i read on and found out the solution to this problem, i was glad that it was there because this just brought Xavier and Bethany closer than ever.

There isn't really much that i didn't like about this book, everything was fabulous, even the ending! To write a book this good at the age of 19 is a sign of true talent! B--In the books not the movie!! Readers also enjoyed. Young Adult. About Alexandra Adornetto. Alexandra Adornetto. A good time was had by all. Except Mr.

Thorn, who, alas, suffered a stabbing incident toward the end. I have contempt for the books on many levels. I really do. Aside from all the preachy nature of the novel mind you I'm a fairly religious person myself I disliked how that was handled. It was overdone, overcooked, overkilled. There were better ways to approach the big religious topics in this novel rather than some crazy version of whatever Bible Ms. Adornetto is reading from.

Alas, that's my mini-rant in here. Aside from the plot not making sense, I actually enjoyed parts of the book. I admit it. It's a guilty pleasure and I will, also, be finding a way to read the next book, Heaven, due out September Still interested in the first book, Halo? Check it out here. Jace and Clary, this is not. Nor Castiel and Dean for that matter. Title: Hades Author: Alexandra Adornetto Rating: 3 out of 5 because the graphic designer deserves more compensation for that beautiful cover.

I always thought the Cassandra Clare books were about vampires. Didn't know they were about angels, lol! Have you read that yet? One of my favorites! Latisha Jean: You're welcome! Good luck!

I am so excited about this book and I hope that I win!
