I had high hopes for Heavenly as I had been eyeing it off for quite some time. So when I finally was able to buy it and get stuck into it I wasn't disappointed.These days there seem to be more and more 'angel' books, they are definitely the new vampires that's for sure. But Heavenly is more than just a cut-and-paste angel-mortal romance book.
Zoe Dodd is a great character. When we meet her she is popular and an avid partier. She picks up guys to make herself feel better and abuses alcohol. I love this about her as a lot of the characters in books these days are goody-two-shoeses from the get-go and it gets a bit sickly after awhile.
Everything for Zoe starts to change however when she meets Matthias,he is her autistic sister Abria's guardian angel. Matthias makes her realise the important things in life. I love the growth of Zoe herself and her love for Matthias throughout the book.
Her family are really strong characters and I love the way the story builds up to lead onto the next book.
It's more than a story about love, it's a story about family and making the right choices in life. I strongly recommend it (I am just over a 1/3 way through the sequel Penitence at the moment and can assure you it gets even better!)
I love the way Jennifer writes too. Her characters are very believable and the BFF character of Britt reminds me all too much of some of my own friends!
I give it a 4/5
Thank you for reading Heavenly. It's a story close to my heart, and I'm always pleased when a reader really understands and feels the spirit of the book.
