Bethany Church is an angel sent to Earth to keep dark forces at bay.
Falling in love was never part of her mission, but the bond between Beth
and her mortal boyfriend, Xavier Woods, is undeniably strong. But even
Xavier's love, and the care of her archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy,
can't keep Beth from being tricked into a motor- cycle ride that ends up
in Hell. There, the demon Jake Thorn bargains for Beth's release back to
Earth. But what he asks of her will destroy her, and quite possibly, her
loved ones, as well. The story that Alexandra Adornetto built in her New
York Times-bestselling debut, Halo, comes alive in action-packed and
unexpected ways, as angels battle demons, and the power of love is put
to the test. Something happened -- something I could never have
imagined. It was so unfathomable, I felt nothing but a sickening feeling
that seemed to come from my core and spread like poison through my body.
The highway defied gravity and suddenly reared up in front of us. A deep
jagged crack appeared in its center. The highway was splitting open. The
crack widened like a hungry cavernous mouth, waiting to swallow us up.
The wind that whipped my face grew warmer, and steam rose from the
broken asphalt. I knew instinctively what it was from the feeling of
hollow emptiness that emanated from it. It was a gateway to Hell, and we
were heading straight toward it.
