Summary from Goodreads:

I'm Luna, and I've been in the Twilight Zone since I moved in with y sister and her boyfriend. I sense their secrets in every corner of the house.

Gabriel is eerily beautiful, and his personality disturbingly perfect, while Gaia's inexplicable PTSD and mood swings bounce her between bliss and despair.

Until Gabriel's brothers pay a visit.

Cassiel...

He's the night to his brother's day. He's sex personified and the devil in one hell of a stunning package. It's been years since I last saw him, but this man makes me burn. He hooks me with his touch. Enthralls me with those oddly shimmering eyes. He pierces my soul with his knowing smirks, and I am losing myself in him.

Ka...

With pearlesent hair and spring green eyes, he crashes into my world. I thought this crazy, beautiful man could mend my bleeding heart. Make things recognizable again--normal. Instead he pulls me from the embers and feeds me to the open fire.

College life. Is this what everyone goes through?

*Excerpt*

Cassiel

What the hell happened back there? She was one measly Earthling. A single goddamn daughter of Eve out of thousands, millions—fucking billions! I was pitiful.

I went home after she slipped out of my arms. Now, I drew in a deep, cleansing breath and reached for the glass of champagne on the nightstand.

Empty already? Fuck.

I untangled from the last chick and got up. In her stupor, a blissful smile still curled her lips. It’d never made me impatient before.

A chilled bottle waited at the wet bar. I snapped it open and poured icy fizz over the strawberry I’d squeezed too hard. The fruity mass resembled bloody entrails, which suited me fine.

Lingerie. My gaze trailed over the second girl. An arm and a leg strained limp toward the floor, soft skin reflecting from the wall-wide mirror. The curve of her ass, the sheer thigh-highs I’d rolled down a fraction. All details that simply made my existence.

This trio would be out my door soon with their minds erased.

“You want another glass?” I grumbled to Perky-Boobs. Not that I couldn’t remember names—some just bored me.

“I—I…” she gasped out.

I hadn’t taken her yet. To attain the hint of a thrill, I’d skipped the dazzling on this one. She sat rigid against the headboard, chest heaving with desire and anticipation. So fucking predictable.

She pinned her knees together, and they tipped demurely to one side. Now she flicked a wide-eyed glance at her friends.

Luna went to Ka again.

I did enjoy how Perky Boobs’ negligee slid open to reveal puffy areolas as she shifted.

“Never mind,” I said. “Your drink can wait.”

And to hell with the Samuelle girl.

*My Thoughts*

Note: This review contains no spoilers

I would have to say that this was an interesting read. I liked the story. The whole falling in love with a guardian angel theme intrigued me, especially since it is forbidden. As stated in the synopsis, Gaia is in an fatal accident, but death does not take her because of her guardian angel, Gabriel...for some reason...could not take her. This one act started a chain reaction of events that would lead to a war between Heaven and Hell. From that moment on, Gaia and Gabriel must face the consequences of their actions.

The story is told in two points of view, in Gaia's POV and Cassiel's POV. These characters play opposite roles in Gabriel's existence. Although Cassiel is sarcastic and arrogant, but yet, he tries to be Gabriel's conscience...but goes about it in the most unconventional way. Hmmm...guess I can say that Cassiel is that "best friend" who tries to get Gabriel to do the right thing, but goes about it the wrong way...hahaha! However, Gaia, on the other hand, falls for the beauty and love of her guardian angel...to the point of obsession. No matter how hard Gaia tries to fight her attraction to Gabriel, she eventually stops fighting it. However, Gaia's obsession with Gabriel was just a bit much for me.

However, I didn't feel like the characters were engaging enough. I felt the Gaia and Gabriel romance felt "rushed." Although the story was creative in its writing, it felt rushed in the beginning, dragged in between, and the characters were not as engaging; but the ending, was delightful. The chemistry between Gaia and Gabriel was not as gripping and compelling as made out to be. Moreover, it is a good start of an interesting and intriguing theme.

All in all, Shattering Halos is a fascinating read that fans of Twilight, by Stepenie Meyer, may enjoy. This is a story of forbidden love filled with mystery and action that leaves it open for the next book in the series.
