"What lies on the other side of the line?"- The Line

Can you imagine living in a world where love is a dangerous thing? Where you lived in a city surrounded by an invisible shield and keeping you from the outside world? That's exactly how Rachel lives, day to day. Life on the Property is pretty much all Rachel has seen, except the day she tried to cross The Line. The Line is the barrier that stands between The Property and Away. Rachel always seems fascinated by it but her love for her mother keeps her from trying to leave again. That is until she finds a "letter" asking for help....a "letter" that comes from...Away. Rachel doesn't know what to do until her mom tells her the truth and why she tried to hide Rachel during an Identification.

"There's only one way to find out."- The Line
Rachel goes into Away to help the ones who sent the "letter".

I gave The Line, ***** Stars because it's a new type of book, at least that I've read. I liked the way it was written and how Hall did the pacing of the plot. Although Rachel's mom, Vivian, makes me mad; her and Rachel's dads' story is very romantic. ") I enjoyed reading this book because it shows that love and parties,etc aren't everything in the world. The end was really good because it gives us a hint that Rachel's dad isn't dead...that all this time he has been alive and in Away. So I can't wait to read the sequel......Away~! ")

-Enjoy

Hades reviewed by Molly Varney

By: Alexandra Adornetto *****

After their first encounter with Jake, a very powerful demon, Beth and Xavier thought their problems were over. However, they had only just begun. Even the heavenly power of Beth's siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, couldn't help her. She had been dragged to Hell by Jake at the request of Lucifer himself. There was more in it for Jake, though, as his obssession with Beth deepened. Beth was just the pawn of a horrible scheme, conducted by Lucifer and his demons to start a war between Heaven and Hell. As she struggled to stay alive and keep faith, Beth found that her only sense of peace was when she thought of her siblings and Xavier. But will they be able to save Beth before she is forced to succumb to the darkness that surrounds her?

Hades is the second book in this soon to be trilogy. I gave it five stars because I absolutely love these books. The second is just as good as the first and I can't wait until the next one comes out. The storyline was amazing and never lost my interest. I also really like how the author described Hell. It was like one big party for those who dwelled there, but also a frightening place. You'll really like this if you're into books about angels and demons. The ending, I thought, was really cool and will keep you on edge until the next book is out!
