Hades Halo Trilogy Alexandra Adornetto Books

Hades is the sequel to Alexandra's US debut, Halo, and picks up right where book one ended. This time around the story centers more on Beth and her trip to Hades. In Halo, she along with her brother and sister are sent to earth on a mission, and during that time she met one of the fallen, Jake, who of course is from Hades.

I was really intrigued with Jake in Halo and I liked seeing more of him in Hades. It didn't take him long to live up to his promise he made to Beth in Halo. Not long after the story starts Jake ends up capturing Beth and takes her to Hades. Okay, really he tricked her, and then kidnapped her and drove her to Hades on his motorcycle. The cover, which I think is very fitting of the story, is from this scene. Despite the fact he's such a great villain, he was one of the characters who kept me invested in the story. Jake is someone I felt bad for and at the same time I understand his natural tendencies. I mean, he is after all on the original fallen angels who now rules one of the circles in Hell. Of course he's going to be naturally bad, but I liked seeing a different side of him at times, and I was really surprised with how charismatic he could be.

There's a lot of interesting characters living in Hades. There's a few that surprised me with their character twists and a few I really enjoyed getting to read about. Beth's new found friends, as well as Jake on occasion are there to save her when her best intentions find her in a lot of trouble, and this happens more than a couple of times. I was surprised with how Hades itself is described. It has house penthouses, night clubs and all the worldly things that would entice people to either fall or make their deal with the devil if they found themselves in a certain situation. There's a few things that happen there that give readers a glimpse of what hell is like for a few unnamed characters.

I was hoping that with the sequel I would be able to connect with Beth, but like Halo, I found myself really frustrated with her character and not able to connect with her at all. One of the things that bothers me was how rash she was to make a decision before thinking it through, which is the main reason why she had to keep being rescused from the trouble she found herself in. The other thing that bothered me is how naive she still is for being an angel. I had excepted her to be a little bit more in the know on things. Don't get me wrong she is as innocent and pure as they come, and I love how good hearted she is, but as a protagonist I was hoping she would have been a little bit stronger.

Halo fans will enjoy knowing that Gabriel, Ivy and Xavier are very much apart of Hades. Their roles aren't as big as they were in Halo, but they're still here. Gabriel and Ivy will of course do anything to save Beth as well as Xavier. He's still the fabulous, hunky, fearless boyfriend who will do anything to save his girlfriend. To contend with him is Jake. I know I already talked about him, but I think some readers will find this bad boy/angel's cocky attitude and good looks irresistible. The romance is strong, the characters a bit more in depth, and there's a few great twists in the story.

While I'm still not as in love with this series as I would like to be, I thought it was a good sequel to Halo. There's a lot of things that happen in Hades that kept me turing the pages. It's a fast paced read and one I think fans of Halo will really enjoy.

Hades Halo Trilogy Alexandra Adornetto Books Reviews

Hades was a beautifully scripted book. The characters were well defined in this book, and there was no straying Bethany away from her virtuous core. In this book, Bethany finds herself being pulled down in the third circle of hell. Some of you might not know, but this is a take on Dante's Inferno. There are nine circle's of hell total in Dante's Inferno, and Adornetto mentions the ninth circle being ruled by Lucifer himself. I know some have mentioned that this version of hell, which in the book they referred to as Hades, was not in fact hell. But if one has read Dante's Inferno, and knows the reference, the third circle is the hell of Gluttony. This is perfectly portrayed in Adornetto's version, and I feel the need to defend her. I have personally read Dante's Inferno, and others that may not understand the take she took on hell would do well to read some Dante.

The story was well crafted, and intense from the start. It was action packed, and there were moments where I though Bethany would lose, where things got so bad, you couldn't see a way for her to get out, and then you'd be surprised, out of no where, at how she manages to survive. And the most beautiful message in this book is that Love. Conquers. All. If you thought Xavier and Bethany's love was beautiful in Halo, then you will love how deeply you see their love grown in Hades. Not even Hell itself can keep them apart.

Praise for Hades! I cannot wait for the third book!
I did not expect anything that happened. This particular angel themed book has taken me by surprise with each page turn.
The great descriptions really set the tone for the book and had a way of sucking you into the story. I found myself unable to put the book down! The description in the book for particular scenes on Earth and in Hades made you feel like you were there feeling the heat of the flames licking at you, the emotional distress of having been snatched away from your loved ones, and feeling the pressure of trying to make the right choice to protect loved ones.
What I really like about this series is that this book tries to show what real love is, not the material and physical lust that most mistake for love. In this book it shows the maturing process of those blinded by hormonal and physical love and finally seeing the light of the real love that binds two individuals together.
This book shows how some people go through different trials in their lives and the decisions that they make affect not only themselves but those around them as well.
This book is a heart clincher and that draws you in, makes you feel the deep connections with all of the characters and you experience the same emotions they feel.
I have thoroughly loved this book for all of the twists and turns that it takes you through, and it may be my favorite of the three.
