Reading books is my escape from the real world. When reading books while I’m upset it becomes my personal therapy. Fantasy books are my favorite books. I know people would think that I read these books because I believe in fantasy things, but I would say I know the difference between what is real and what isn’t. I read these books to entertain myself.

I have read my most of my favorite books. Some of my favorite books are the Halo series. It has 3 books Halo (Halo, #1), Hades (Halo, #2) and Heaven (Halo, #3) by Alexandra Admoretto I remember every detail of these three books because all of them were amazing. The reason I am attracted to these types of stories is because I am a fan of romanticism.

            The books are about a girl who is an angel and she was sent to earth on a mission. In no time she falls in love with an amazing boy who fell for her as well, and then the complications start. In all three books their love grew for one another. Bethany’s and Xavier’s love connection was amazing. If one gets hurt the other one felt the pain as well. They went through hell and heaven. But no matter what they didn’t give up on each other.

            My favorite part from Halo was the time when Beth told Xavier that she is an angel. It was the way the writer explained how Beth showed her wings to Xavier. I imagined the scene in my head of Beth flying, and Xavier was scared that Beth would fall down. However he told her that no matter what she is, he still loves her. My favorite part from Hades was the way Xavier went to Hell and saved her. Nevertheless my favorite part from Haven was, the part when heaven took her away from him; this scene was so heartbreaking. To be back with Xavier she had to give up her angelsite.

            In my opinion these books are really good to read on a vacation.
