Heaven Bound

Heaven Sent #2

by Montré Bible

In Heaven Bound, we meet Andrea Turner, the mother of Andrew Turner. After her death, Andrea journals her final words to her son, telling him of her discovery that she is Nephilim (half-human and half-angel). The story goes black to when Andrea meets several college friends who are helping her find her personal spiritual path. When she stumbles on the fact that she has supernatural powers, her reason for being at the college becomes all but coincidental as she learns she devised by a fallen angel and her true father, Dony El. Andrea must decide whether she will use her powers for God, or if she will she give up her very soul to gain the world.

Original review at Jaunts & Haunts

4/5

I gave this book four evil-banishing stars!

Going in to this review, it should be said that this is technically a prequel to the first book. This novel centers around Andrew's mom Andrea and the series of events that led to the first novel.

Andrea is a bright young woman, eager to continue her education after she gets a full ride to a college several hours away from home. With her future ahead of her, she takes up residence quickly, adjusting to her new environment and the drama inherent.

But soon, strange things begin to happen. Things that are cannot be explained, things that may have something to do with Andrea's past and upbringing. As mystery and danger loom over the horizon, can Andrea pull it together to defeat the evil that emanates, or will she die trying?
I really enjoyed this one, I have to say.

Let's start with the characters. Andrea is clearly bright and has a really good head on her shoulders. I liked her personality type. It made her a great fit for the protagonist. Karen and Valerie were also great in my opinion, each with their distinct quirks and flaws. And Phillip? Pft! Don't get me started on him. The characters were great overall.

Concept and plot was stellar too. It was a similar setup to the first novel, but different enough to pique my interest most of the way through. Andrea's journey of self-discovery was really good and I liked the fantasy elements tied in. It was very well thought out. There was a good mix of action and character development all the way through.

If I had to pick at anything I would say there was a certain area of the book that I felt had a bit too much drama. It was slightly after the beginning, maybe 50 pages in or so, and there was a bit too much emphasis on the drama aspect of things for me. I totally get why it was portrayed this way and it did tie into later events, but that area fell a tad flat on me. Other than that, I honestly have no complaints.

Heaven Bound is a strong continuation of the Heaven Sent series, dripping with mystery, heartache, thrills, and the power of faith to defeat our demons, real or not.

Great book!

this book is very scary. in the beggining it comes off as being a very delicate nuetral book. then it starts to tell you that the girl in the story is a good bad angel.it says that she is this way because her mom was raped by a fallen angel. normally i would not read stuff like this. the book start to tell of 1 very bad fallen angel that is determined to kill all regular humans and rebuild his own world. he tries to achieve this by using his suposably hot not anglic son to capture the heart of the angelic girl so that they could have kids and then another angel would be born and he could use it for his destruction. this book sounds weird. its scary when it tells that the bad angels look like normal people and have the power to teleport with a snap of a finger. words can not simplify everything in this book. it is best to be read and to find out what its about. i'm glad i found this book in the library shelf, its nice..
