's review

really liked it

I stayed up all night finishing this last night. The ending was perfection but I took away one star because I was so bored and annoyed for most of the book because it was all Christian. I really can't say much about how I feel about the book without spoilers so... Don't read this unless you want to know who she ends up with. I knew before I started so I understand needing to know.


(view spoiler)



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear dark wings/black wings/whatever the heck you call the evil angels,
Please eat Christian!

Dear Tucker,
Please fight for Clara! Christian is indeed a smug bastard!

Dear Clara,
Hello?! You love Tucker! Who cares about this evil purpose stuff when your brother was told to light a forest on FIRE?!?!

That is all!
Oh and have you read the Boundless teaser of Clara and Christian on a date. Read at own risk because I felt sick after reading it lol. But hey a least Clara is thinking of Tucker.


And thank you to Asher @ for this drawing that sums up my feelings.

Me too! I was so mad he is going to Stanford and that Clara just agreed to give up Tucker. She is crazy!


message 5: by Michaela (new) - added it

Michaela Ugh yes! That part made me soooooo mad!!!! I really hope she gets back together with him! I don't think I could read a book with Clara and Christian being together...

rai ♡ I agree. What the hell is wrong with Clara? She obviously wants to be with Tucker! And now she's going to be attending Stanford with freakin' Christian becuz their destined to be together! I am like so sick of books with guys who say their destined to be with girl or are made for the girl (Dylan from the Maximum Ride series). I'm so mad that she left Tucker. Like I could just feel like jumping into the book and pip slapping her. Also, what's up with Christian not fighting for her? He barely tries to make her stay. All I know is that the third book better have them getting back together somehow. She bet not keep falling for Christian.

I'm with you on that one! It made me sooooo mad! I mean, if anything can't she just stay with Tucker through his mortal life and then be with Christian after he dies? She love Tucker, not Christian!

Elena Totally totally totally agree! Please eat Christian! I can't stand the guy. Tucker loves Clara, Clara loves Tucker. They are endgame because we say it and because they're the perfect two. End of.

Yeah, I freakin' hate Christian! He gets on my nerves.


Melody Manful I agree with all of you. When I finished reading the book, I was like -- what's this destiny crap? Tucker is the guy for Clara!, then I threw my book away and realized I had thrown my tablet away instead, too bad Clara wasn't near so it could have knocked some senses into her head!

The fact that Clara even hesitated about her feelings for Tucker annoyed the hell outta me. If I could I would jump into the book and slap the mess out of her and then go to Tucker and shake him shouting, "What the hell is wrong with you?! Fight fo your woman! Don't just freakin' hand her over to Christian!". I'd throw Tucker aside and then I would have found Christian kneed him in the balls saying,"Thatz for kissin' Clara and stealing her away from her man!" (then I'd jump back out of the book and throw it at the wall visciously).

I know! I was sooooooo pissed! I hate Christian! I lie in bed at night wishing a horrible death upon him! LOL Tucker is so much better and loves her for her. I hate destiny crap in books. Clara should choose who is best for her not who she has a "purpose" to be with.

YESSSS!!! I was so glad Tucker hit Christian! He was a such a smug bastard to kiss Clara and keep pursuing her over and over when she kept saying no. But then I was mad at Clara because she let Christian get to her. She started to think maybe he was right. She was giving in to this destiny/purpose crap and it's BS! Christian was so pushy and annoying. I just wanted to slap the crap out of him. I wish Tucker fought a little bit more. I understand he doesn't want to be like Christian. He wants to give Clara a choice but he needs to let her know that he wants her no matter what.

A fine example of destiny crap in books: Max and Dylan in the Maximum Ride series. It's freakin' obvious that Max and Fang belong together and were doin' just fine before Dylan came out of no where and was all like, "Max, we're meant to be together, I was made to love you, forget about Fang, we're gonna have a bunch of babies together and save the planet.... yada, yada, yada". It irks me whenever that happens in a book. Death 2 Dylan!!!!

Right!!!! I feel exactly the same way. It's like he barely tried to keep her with him. I would've thought that the fact that Clara and Christian are going away to college together would piss Tucker off. He could've atleast attepted to take a swing at Christian. Maybe catch him off guard or something and get him in the gut. But no, he gives Clara a goodbye kiss and sends her off with "Mr. Destiny" with the promise that they might get back together if she comes back there. It's a bunch of crap.

Maya Ugh I agree Christian annoyed me I felt so bad for tucker. I just wante to slap Clara . Like what of christian Sao they had to make out and go further like come on would she have agreed with this whole purpose crap. And now she's off too Italy with her "best friend" . That chick got something I'm telling u she's with the black wings and I have a feeling Jaime soon will be too. I just hope boundless answers all my unaswered questions. Like what's the point f lighting a forest when ur gonna save that person . Just saying I want more answers for this purpose thing .

I know her friend is totally evil! She is probably secretly dating a black wing in Italy. Christian was so annoying. Just over and over that he wants to be there for their purpose and were these two super special angels so we should be together. I am so curious about why her brother was supposed to light a forest on fire. That sounds like an evil purpose even if he was going to save Tucker. Plenty of animals and houses and other people still could have got hurt.

I know, right? I just hope that Clara comes to her senses soon and goes back to Tucker so he doesn't end up with that horse riding girl with the red hair that Clara saw and who has a crush on him.

Sinead NICE! I have only read the first one, but my feelings are the same. If tucker was real I'd marry him!


Pauline D: gasp

Minna say what you want but Tucker is just a human a very hot one but still just a human...Mrs. Gardner was the perfect example that they can't run from their destiny...Christian until the end

Minna bla bla bla she is in love with him but she doesn't know.Free will is great yeah but at the passion they share and understanding.Oh man his triplare the most powerful one with free will and his super hot.


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

I hope clara feels guilty over here actions and tucker pls fight and make sure clara is not with an a**hole like christian (sorry i had to say that!now i feel better)


message 26: by Maya (new) - added it

Maya this trilogy is confusing. like what kind of purpose is to burn a forest down. maybe if her bro screwed up on his purpose and accidentally burned it down then that would be more logical . and i have a feeling her bro is going to be bad then come back to being good.

Erin Sorry but I disagree. Tucker. bugs me. GO CHRISTIAN!! Yes, she loved Tucker once but now she has Christian. ;D


Jennifer Erin wrote: "Sorry but I disagree. Tucker. bugs me. GO CHRISTIAN!! Yes, she loved Tucker once but now she has Christian. ;D"

But Christian is such a smug bastard and she doesn't love him so I think she will end up with Tucker.

Sarah Here's the way i see it. take the whole purpose thing away from christian. Now, WTF DO HIM AND CLARA GOT IN COMMON? NOTHINGGG!!...anywho Tucker & clara better get their asses in gear and get back together


message 32: by Nidush (new)

Nidush Omg i laughed so hard when i saw the drawing bellow of you with tucker and then of christian. lol


message 33: by Tesla (new)

Tesla um tucker will die and age before Clara so either way christian wins why do that when tuck can have a normal life with normal children. and then Clara and Christian can be together i mean seriously once tucker dies of old age christian will still be sitting there waiting why go through all the heartache and pain when you can just skip that and let Tucker have a real life lol.


Jennifer Why would Christian wait around for 80 years for Clara?! He would move on. Angelbloods lives are till what 120 years? Tucker might die at 90? That doesn't seem worth giving up a life of happiness just because he will die younger than Clara.


message 35: by Tesla (new)

Tesla you dont know that tucker could die from a car accident when he is 21 you dont know when hes going to die. im just saying its better for clara i mean its not like kids are going to be possible for a really long time she blinds him with glory everytime things get hot and heavy. With Christian you dont have to worry about that and everyone is equal they can both train the kids with angel abilities where as tucker would be left out in that factor. Besides people fall in love all the time in high school they get over it and move on and fall in love with someone else. happens all the time. Still if its what the man up stairs wants its what will happen. tucker can have a normal life. She doesnt have to end up with christian any angel blood will do. I just think ending up with a human is a stupid illogical choice. ntm Christian can protect.

Jennifer Clara could die tomorrow too. They shouldn't live their lives worrying about it. They should just be happy and Tucker makes Clara happy and brings out her angel glow thing. Where as Christian isn't anything but a purpose. And Clara isn't a damsel in distress. She can take care of herself and protect herself. Urg Christian is just so arrogant and annoying. I hate him so much.

I know just little glimpses of him every time Clara showed up at the Lazy Dog barn. But it was sweet that no matter where she tried to go she always wanted to go to him! :-D

Yup already read it. It came out on Tuesday and is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Book Depository.

T.J. I am an idiot. I'm reading this review and I'm only 50 pages into the book, but...I don't like Christian! He's okay, but Tucker is sooooo much better!


April I'm so glad she ended up with Tucker. I was spoiled about who she ended up before I read. I'm kind of disappointed that not all questions were answered though.


message 46: by T.J. (new) - rated it 5 stars

T.J. Finished. Loved it. Still feel bad for Christian, though. I prefer Tucker but I really liked Christian in this, even though he was a bit naive to assume that all Clara had on Tucker was a "crush." (view spoiler)


Jennifer Shadowhunter Girl wrote: "Finished. Loved it. Still feel bad for Christian, though. I prefer Tucker but I really liked Christian in this, even though he was a bit naive to assume that all Clara had on Tucker was a "crush." ..."

(view spoiler) I do think Christian is a good guy. He annoyed me and I did think it was really dumb of him to dismiss Clara's feelings for Tucker. He took the purpose way too serious in the wrong way.


April I couldn't stand Christian in the last book. I thought he was a complete ass. But I did come to like him in this one. He claims he doesn't want/love Clara because of the purpose, but would he of fell for her if they didn't share the same purpose?

I wish we got a little more detail about the ending though.


message 49: by T.J. (new) - rated it 5 stars

T.J. I still feel kinda bad that Christian ended up with no one, but I really hated his act of "oh, I'm Christian Prescott and I can get any girl I want."
I still hopes he finds someone because that would be a big waste of a hundred years still getting over your wish-had-been ex.


April Exactly. Not to mention in 100 years they will be 118 with only 2 years left to live. But then again Billy married Walter when he only had a few months to live.
