GL Must Reads: Halo and Radiance


The school year has barely started but as you face hours of grueling soccer practice, endless piles of homework and your little bro’s constant brattiness, we figured you’d need an escape from reality. Here are two fantasy novels that’ll help you do just that…

Halo by Alexandra Adornetto


Halo is the magical story of three angels sent down to Earth to bring good to the world. Gabriel the warrior, Ivy the healer and Bethany, the newest and youngest angel of the trio. Bethany is also the most human, and she's having a hard time concealing her new identity, wings and all. 


Their mission is threatened when Bethany is sent to high school and falls in love with human hottie, Xavier Woods. By falling in love, she has defied all the laws of Heaven.

But what’s worse is she’s been distracted from her true mission. And now it seems these angels aren’t the only supernatural power in the usually quiet town of Venus Cove. There’s a new kid in town—and he’s charming, seductive…and deadly. Worst of all, he’s after Bethany.

Let your imagination run wild with Halo by Alexandra Adornetto, in stores now.


Radiance by Alyson Noël



Alyson Noël, bestselling author of The Immortals, has an awesome new novel called Radiance. It’s the perfect romance-adventure combo that kicks off an exciting new series.

Radiance is about Riley Bloom, who has left her older sister, Ever, in the world of the living. She’s crossed the bridge into the afterlife—a place called Here, where time is always Now. But death is not the eternity of leisure that Riley thought it would be. She’s been assigned the job of Soul Catcher and a teacher, Bodhi, a cute (and seemingly nerdy) guy who’s definitely hiding something.

With the help of Riley’s dog, Buttercup, they return to Earth for her first assignment, a Radiant Boy who’s been haunting a castle in England for centuries. No Soul Catcher has ever succeeded in catching him before, but can Riley?

Come along for this incredible journey! Radiance is available now.
