Heaven by Alexandra Adornetto -- ESSENTIAL

Adornetto, Alexandra Heaven (Halo Trilogy, Book III). 432 pgs. Feiwel & Friends, 2012. $17.99. Content: PG-13 (mild sexual content; mild violence) After fighting the world of demons in Hades, Beth and Xavier now have to fight the powers of Heaven to be together. This finale of the Halo series has our protagonist Beth going on her own hero's quest to be allowed to stay with her true love, Xavier. She faces many challenges and twists, is given help from unlikely places, and makes her way through many trials in her attempt to gain her ultimate goal. She does not make it through all of this without being forced to look inward and to honestly choose what she is willing to sacrifice.

The book is an easy read that keeps the reader interested. However, there are inconsistencies in the storyline that might bother some readers.  The simple ending may throw off some readers who are expecting an epic battle or bloodshed. Overall, it was an enjoyable reading experience. The third in a series. MS, HS-- ESSENTIAL. Guest review by Buffy.
