Hallow by Olga Gibbs (Celestial Creatures Book 2)

Synopsis:

Being one of the most formidable archangels with the power to end the world doesn’t serve you well if you don’t know how to use it.

Thrown into a battle of courts and factions, tangled in a web of intrigues and palatial games, naïve Ariel is surrounded by powerful angels, chasing their own agendas.

There’s no one she can trust. Everyone stands to gain something from her death.

To avoid the bloody battle that Baza brought to her door at Uras, Ariel retreats back to Apkallu (Earth) to find her sister, but the Heavenly battles and intrigues she flees follow her, as Baza’s immense hold on Apkallu forces Ariel and Rafe to make uncomfortable choices.

Ariel’s fight for survival is far from over, and it looks like it’s going to be a deadly one.

My Review of Hallow by Olga Gibbs:

I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book to participate in the blog tour. The following is my honest opinion.

Let’s start with my opinion that you should read Heavenward, Book 1 of the Celestial Creatures series first. I have read it, loved it, and believe you would benefit from all the explanations, back story, characters, world-building, etc. in book one. I feel the reader may be lost without this information. (See note below about getting a free copy).

Now on to my review of Hallow by Olga Gibbs. Since Celestial Creatures is a four book series, book two contains set-up for the upcoming battles and books. I would rather have the explanations now than have the reader become wholly lost in the next book. Hallow is by no means an unnecessary read. You don’t want to miss the action as Ariel searches and finally finds her younger sister. Her entire purpose in life is to save her sister from the horrors she has endured in her own short life. It is fascinating to watch Ariel grow into her powers and become the strong lead character we always knew she could be.

A battle between good & evil – Angel style!

As in the first book, the author has a firm grasp on where she wants this book to go and the settings, worlds, and battles needed to take it there. Her words create intricate scenes brought vividly to life. The action is intense, gripping, and violent and yet there is always that touch of humanity, caring, and morals included. The essence of Uriel is explained in greater detail in Hallow. There are touching scenes with Rafe and Sam as well as battles of will with Baza. All this is necessary to carry the story forward but, it certainly makes for a fantastic story on its own.

I recommend Heavenward and Hallow to lovers of dark fantasy, epic adventures, good vs. evil, and science fiction. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

During the blog tour, May 1st-14th, readers will be able to download Heavenward FREE on all platforms using this LINK  from Books2Read.com or clicking the Amazon images below. After the tour, the links will revert to normal pricing.
