When I first started reading this book I thought I had made a mistake and that I wasn't going to like it. However, it soon picked up and as it turns out was a very good book. If you want a good book that you wouldn't be embarrased to pass on to your grandmother this is one of them.

I absolutely loved this book! There were so many emotional twists and turns and it truly shows of God's mercy and grace and that miracles can still happen today as long as you believe. God and His ultimate will, will be done! I give this book 10 gold stars. I have fallen in love with our Lord and Savior all over again! If you want to believe in miracles today I suggest you read this book.

This book was entertaining. Not as gripping as some of the author's other novels, but a good read.

It's been awhile since I read this one, but I know that I really enjoyed it. It's got a basic Christian base to it, but is one of those novels that isn't preachy and could be enjoyed by just about anyone. It's categorized as "romantic suspense," but I somehow just can't put it in the romance category, perhaps because of my own preconceptions. Really, this is a well written and touching story. Some bits may be a bit "overwritten," but mostly it's very good.

Halos is a story about a young woman who in one moment is looking toward her future with great expectancy and hope, but only a moment later everything she has is snatched away. She is left with nothing and no one.

I love this book! The characters are very interesting and deeply developed. The storyline is unique. The faith themes are abundant, but most are subtlety woven into the daily lives of the characters.

Steve is a very unlikely hero and although he shows promise, he comes across more as selfishly, egocentricnot without cause, however. Alessi is a precious heroine, who can aptly be described as a survivor. The great cast of secondary characters adds richness and depth to the novel.

Halos is a novel that delves into the why of life and living and comes up with some heart-wrenching, but liberating answers for readers to ponder.

Keep the tissues handy.

I loved this book. I ordered it strictly on reviews because the written synopsis seemed kind of goofy. But it was a wonderful book that I couldn't wait to finish and the characters were much more realistic and sympathetic than the write ups imply.
