Dark Halo - A Review

One halo gave Brielle sight. Another one offers her relief. With a heavenly battle occurring in the skies about Stratus, Brielle sees the Celestial all of the time now. Especially since the Terrestrial Veil is being ripped in two. She longs for a chance to be normal and not see. Her boyfriend, Jake, has been taken by the forces of Darkness, and she will do just about anything to save him. When she encounters the Prince of Darkness himself, he offers her a halo that will take her Celestial vision and he promises a future with Jake, something that the Throne Room seems to be taking from her. But the Prince is an accomplished liar and manipulator. Will Brielle take his tempting offer?

This is the conclusion to the Angel Eyes trilogy. I loved seeing the battles between Light and Darkness. It reminded me so much of Frank Perretti's This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness books. I enjoyed watching Brielle grow in her faith in these three books. I absolutely loved Kaylee. I'd love to see her in her own book. While I enjoyed the entire series as a whole, I really enjoyed this one. I think it was my favorite of the three. I loved how the encounter with the Prince of Darkness showed Brielle's doubts and her longings.

I received this book for free from Thomas Nelson's Booksneeze program for the purpose of reviewing. My thoughts and opinions are my own.

Broken Wings - A Review

Brielle's life changed forever when she learned that she could see through the Terrestrial Veil into the realm that only angels and demons can see. Now just a few months after her encounter with forces of evil, she's seeing her life fall apart around her. Her father has started drinking again. Her boyfriend is keeping something from her. And there's a mystery surrounding her mother's death. Brielle encounters giant angels with knife blades on their wings. But she's not the only one who can see them. The Terrestrial Veil is thinning and once again Brielle must fight. But she's so broken that she can't fly. Will darkness overcome?

The second book in the Angel Eyes Trilogy, picks up a few months after the conclusion of Angel Eyes. Brielle's grown quite a bit in this book - both in her faith and as a character. I think my favorite character in this book is her spunky friend Kaylee. Kaylee really developed into her role and I loved seeing it. There didn't seem to be as much action as in the first book, but overall this was still a great book.
